Abstract

The present study was undertaken to evaluate 29 indeterminate French bean genotypes for various yield and quality traits inpoly-net house with the objective to identify best performing genotypes during winter conditions. The significant variation was observed among all the genotypes for all the studied traits.The green pod yield was significantly higher in genotype Lakshmi (992.33 g/plant) followed by Star-I (955.50 g/plant) and FBK-4 (911.17 g/plant). Regarding quality traits, maximum dry matter was observedin FBK-13 (13.87%), protein content in FBK-1 (9.67%), sugar content in FBK-5(9.60%) and minimum fiber content in FBK-12 (0.69%). It is concluded that French bean genotypes Lakshmi, Star-I and FBK-4 gave high productivity and better quality in poly-net house conditions of Punjab and these pods fetches premium price in the market as there is no availability of green pods at that time in high altitudes.
