Abstract
The field experiment entitled “Influence of Nitrogen levels and Biofertilizers on the growth and yield of French bean" was conducted during rabi season, 2022 at Crop Research Farm in the Department of agronomy, Naini Agriculture Institute, Sam Higginbottom University of Agriculture, Technology and Sciences, Prayagraj Uttar Pradesh. The treatment consisted of two factors, Factor-1 levels of Nitrogen (75,100,125 kg/ha) and factor-2 Biofertilizers (Rhizobium, PSB & Rhizobium +PSB). The experiment was layout in Randomized Block Design (RBD) with 10 treatments and replicated thrice. It was noticed that application of Nitrogen levels and Biofertilizers had a significant effect on Growth , yield, and yield parameters. Treatment-6 [Nitrogen 100 kg/ha + Rhizobium (10 g/kg of seed) + PSB (10 g/kg of seeds)] recorded maximum plant height (46.19 cm), dry weight (26.39 g), number of pods/plant (19.73), number of seeds/pod (5.08), seed yield (22.47 q/ha) and stover yield (50.08 q/ha).
Keywords: French bean, nitrogen, biofertilizer, growth and yield
