Abstract

A field experiment was conducted during the winter season of 1999–00 and 2000–01 at Kumarganj, Faizabad to study the effect of moisture regimes and fertility levels on growth and yield of French bean, Phaseolus vulgaris under late sown condition. Moisture regimes at 0.9 IW/CPE ratio was significantly better than other moisture regimes in terms of yield attributes and yield. However water use efficiency was lowest at 0.7 IW/CPE ratio. Fertilizer application of 150 kg N + FYM @ 5tons/ha resulted in higher grain yield. Both irrigation and fertilizers improved the growth and yield parameters markedly.
