Studies on nutrients contents and yield attributing characters in freshly harvested green French bean pods of different varieties

Abstract

An experiment entitled “Studies on Nutrients contents and yield attributing characters in freshly harvested green French bean Pods of Different Varieties” was conducted during Rabi season of 2016-17 at the field site of AICRP on Vegetable Crops of O.U.A.T. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design with three replications taking fifteen genotypes of French bean, to study the Nutrients contents and yield attributing characters in freshly harvested green French bean Pods of Different Varieties. The mineral contents of fresh pods ranged from N: 0.34 to 0.54%, P: 0.06 to 0.22%, K: 0.14 to 0.37%, Ca: 0.13 to 0.53%, Mg: 0.14 to 0.31%, S: 0.02 to 0.04%. Fe, Mn,Cu and Zn showed the following ranges: 56.67-166.67 mg/Kg, 2.49-6.64 mg/Kg, 0.68-1.35 mg/Kg and 2.21-3.92 mg/Kg respectively.
