Growth, Development, Yield Attributes and Yield of French Bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) as Influenced by Doses and Methods of Nitrogen Application

A field experiment was carried out at School of Natural Resource Management, College of Post Graduate Studies in Agricultural Sciences, CAU, Umiam, Meghalaya during summer season 2021 to study the effect of different doses and application methods of nitrogen on the growth, yield and yield attributes of Frenchbean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.). The experiment comprised of four doses of nitrogen viz.,0, 30, 60, 90 kg ha-1 and two methods of its application i.e., full dose as nitrogen as basal application and 2/3 of nitrogen dose as basal and 1/3 of nitrogen dose split application at active branching stage. The experiments consist of a total of 7 treatments laid out in Randomized Block Design with four replications. Growth parameters such as plant height and number of branches per plant in frenchbean showed a significant increase at all the growth stages with increase in nitrogen doses. Maximum plant height (39.35 cm) and number of branches per plant (3.56) were observed with application of 90 kg N ha-1. The grain yield (762.32 kg ha-1) was observed with application of 90 kg N ha-1 whereas, lowest grain yield was observed in control (146.25 kg ha-1). Yield attributes were observed to follow the same trend with highest number of pods per plant as 5.44, number of seeds per pod as observed significantly more values of all the above said parameters of growth and yield of frenchbeanin comparison to full dose of nitrogen as basal alone. Therefore, the finding of this experiment suggest that the frenchbean should be grown with 90 kg N ha-1 and 2/3 of this dose should be applied as basal application while remaining 1/3 should be applied as top dressing at active branching stage for better growth and yield of frenchbean.

Improving French bean yield potential through induced mutagenesis using EMS and SA

IntroductionFrench bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) holds global significance as one of the most consumed legumes, with commercial value surpassing that of all other legume crops combined. In India, the consumption of French beans has grown steadily, especially in the North Eastern region, driven by heightened consumer interest in its nutritional benefits. Considering these factors, we initiated an induced mutagenesis program to enhance the genetic diversity of locally grown French bean genotypes, traditionally cultivated for their superior adaptability.MethodsTo achieve this, we initiated an induced mutagenesis program. Seeds from the village seed stock were subjected to treatments with varying doses of ethyl methane sulfonate (EMS) ranging from 0.1% to 0.4% and sodium azide (SA) from 0.1% to 0.4%. The objective was to increase yield potential and enhance genetic diversity.ResultsThe treatment with EMS and SA led to a non-specific, dosage-independent reduction in biophysiological characteristics in French bean mutants. Notably, the 0.4% SA treatment significantly inhibited germination and fertility, causing a decrease in chlorophyll (10.02 mg. g-1 FW) and carotenoid (1.57 mg. g-1 FW) levels. This suggests a disruption in genes associated with chlorophyll and carotenoid synthesis. However, in the M2 generation, the mutagenic treatments substantially improved yield and associated traits. The highest pod yield per plant was recorded at 79.50 gm for the 0.2% EMS treatment. A character association study revealed strong correlations (0.217 to 0.995) between pod yield and other agronomic traits.DiscussionThe results indicate that selecting mutants based on these traits in populations treated with EMS and SA can significantly increase crop yield. The 0.2% SA and 0.2% EMS M2 mutant populations exhibited the highest induced variability, making them ideal for selecting higher-yielding mutant lines for further breeding generations. The increased yields in these mutant lines, derived from a local cultivar, show promise for meeting the growing demand for French bean production through their widespread cultivation.

Effect of drip irrigation and organic mulches on growth, yield and water-use efficiency of French bean (Phaseolus vulgaris)

French bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) is an important crop for green and dry beans while tender pods as vegetable. An experiment was conducted during March–June 2021 at the research farm of Dr Y S Parmar University of Horticulture and Forestry, Nauni, Solan, Himachal Pradesh to assess the effect of different irrigation levels and organic mulches on soil properties, growth and productivity of French bean. Experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design with 3 replications comprising of 7 treatments. The study resulted, that plant height, no. of pods per plant, days to first harvest and yield of French bean were significantly affected by different irrigation levels and organic mulches. The maximum yield, water use efficiency, B:C ratio were observed under treatment I1M2 (80% ETc + Grass mulch). Therefore, adopting drip irrigation with mulching can contribute to increasing irrigated area and enhancing yield potential of French bean in the mid hill zone of Himachal Pradesh.

Root nodulation and yield of French bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) are altered by fallow length in slash-and-burn agriculture

ABSTRACT Shifting cultivation (Jhum) involves the conversion of forest land to agricultural land, and two successive Jhum cultivations in a patch of land make a Jhum cycle. Shortening of the cycle to meet population needs is a challenge, and one potential solution is to use N2-fixing, trees in fallow-phase and crops in cropping-phase. A pot experiment was conducted with soil from 2-, 4-, and 8-years fallows of alder-based (N2-fixed) and traditional Jhum agroecosystems, grown with surface-sterilized local French beans (design: CRD). A factorial micro-plot field experiment was also set up in alder-based Jhum sites in 2-, 4-, and 8-years fallow. In both, soil physico-chemical and biological properties, root nodulation and yield attributes of French beans were studied. Root nodulation and biomass yield attributes were higher in alder-based systems compared to traditional, with comparable improvements seen in shorter fallows. At harvest, yield parameters were in the order of 4->2->8-years in alder-based and 8->4->2-years in traditional Jhum soil. Rhizobium populations may decrease with longer fallow lengths without a host and fire stress of Jhum. Fallow length effect on all soil parameters, with increased values as length increased in both Jhum. Combination of soil-fertility and nodulation led to higher grain yield in 4-year-fallows of alder-based Jhum.

Influence of Nitrogen and Boron on Growth and Yield of French Bean

A field experiment was conducted to find out the effect of nitrogen and boron levels on French bean, at Crop Research Farm, Department of Agronomy, Naini Agriculture Institute, Sam Higginbottom Institute of Agriculture, Technology and Sciences, Prayagraj, UP, during the Rabi season of 2022 on sandy loam soil. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design which consisted of ten treatments with three levels of nitrogen viz., (80 kg/ha, 100 kg/ha and 120 kg/ha) and 3 levels of boron (1 kg/ha, 1.5 kg/ha and 2 kg/ha) including control i.e., blanket application of 120-60-50 kg/ha of NPK (farmer's practice) which were replicated thrice. The treatments were T1 – 80 kg/ha nitrogen and 1 kg/ha boron, T2 – 80 kg/ha nitrogen and 1.5 kg/ha boron, T3 – 80 kg/ha nitrogen and 2 kg/h boron, T4 – 100 kg/ha nitrogen and 1 kg/ha boron, T5 – 100 kg/ha nitrogen and 1.5 kg/ha boron, T6 – 100 kg/ha nitrogen and 2 kg/ha boron, T7 – 120 kg/ha nitrogen and 1 kg/ha boron, T8 – 120 kg/ha nitrogen and 1.5 kg/ha boron, T9 – 120 kg/ha nitrogen and 2 kg/ha boron and T10 – control 120-6-50 NPK/ha. The results of the experiment revealed that the application of 120 kg/ha of nitrogen along with 1.5 kg/ha of boron significantly increased the growth parameters viz., plant height (23.68 cm), dry weight (9.633 g/plant), and yield parameters viz., pods per plant (13.93), seeds per pod (4.84), seed yield (2.43 t/ha) and stover yield (3 t/ha). This treatment also showed its positive effect on economics viz., gross returns (1,21,500 INR/ha), net returns (84,655 INR/ha), B:C (2.30).

Effect of Soil Acidity Amelioration on Soil Properties and Yield of French Bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) under Rainfed Condition in Arunachal Pradesh

Under rainfed conditions yield potential of French bean reduced in the acid soil of Arunachal Pradesh due to low fertility and metal toxicity. Therefore, the current experiment was conducted in ICAR, Basar, Research Farm during rabi season (October–January) of 2018, 2019 and 2020 to study the effect of soil amelioration using organic amendments combined with inorganic fertilizer on the yield of French bean and important soil properties. The soil amendment treatments i.e., control, vermicompost (Vc), vermicompost+lime (Vc+lime), 50% RDF (Recommended dose of fertilizer), 50% RDF+lime, 50% RDF+Vc, 75% RDF, 75% RDF+lime, 75% RDF+Vc, 100% RDF were laid in randomized block design with three replications. The doses of vermicompost, lime and RDF were 2.5 t ha-1, 400 kg ha-1 and 50-50-50 NPK kg ha-1. Results showed soil pH recorded maximum and exchangeable aluminum, exchangeable acidity and total acidity recorded minimum in 75%RDF+lime. The soil organic carbon, soil cation exchangeable capacity, soil moisture content and soil available nutrients (N, P, K, S, Fe, Mn, Zn, Cu) recorded maximum and soil bulk density recorded minimum in 75%RDF+Vc. Vermicompost along with 75%RDF was most effective in increasing the yield (4.85 t ha-1). The study indicates soil acidity amelioration using vermicompost and/or lime along with inorganic nutrients reduced soil acidity and improved the soil fertility making the soil environment favorable to achieve an optimum yield of French bean in acid soils of Arunachal Pradesh.

Integrated use of organic and inorganic sources of nutrients in french bean (Phaseolus vulgaris)

The present experiment was conducted during winter (rabi) season of 2017–18 and 2018–19 to study the effect of integrated use of organic and inorganic sources of nutrients on french bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.). The experiment was laid out in randomized block design with seven treatments of inorganic fertilizers (NPK 80:80:40 kg/ha) along with organic source combinations (25, 50 and 75% N through FYM and vermicompost) tested against the control (no fertilizer). Based on 2 years’ pooled data, application of 75% NPK through inorganic source + 25% N through vermicompost produced highest number of pods/plant (25.98), pod length (14.38 cm), pod width (1.29 cm), average single pod weight (4.33 g), green pod weight/plant (41.67 g) and green pod yield (7.71 t/ha) and earned maximum net return of `1,12,212.0/ha. The treatment with 100% NPK through inorganic source @80:80:40 kg/ha produced green pod yield of 6.17 t/ha with net return `83,225.0/ha. The B:C ratio (3.67) was also higher under the treatment with 75% NPK through inorganic source + 25% N through vermicompost. Inorganic fertilizers (75% NPK) and vermicompost (25% N) proved to be the best treatment for enhancing yield and economics of french bean under central plain zone of Uttar Pradesh. Therefore, the practice of 75% NPK through inorganic integration with 25% N through vermicompost may serve as alternative of NPK inorganic fertilizers and may also be recommended to exploit the better eco-friendly economic green pod yield of french bean.

Impact of bioorganic nutrients and chemical fertilizers on sustainable production of French bean and soil health

Aim: To determine the impact of bioorganic nutrients and chemical fertilizers on sustainable production and profitability of french bean and soil health improvement. Methodology: The effects of bioorganic nutrients (jeevamrurth, ghan-jeevamrurth, vermicompost, and FYM) and chemical fertilizers on french bean were studied during 2018 and 2019 with nine treatment combinations on growth parameters, yield attributes, productivity, and profitability of french bean. Residual soil fertility in terms of various soil properties was also assessed after the completion of the experiment.

Results: Results showed that plant height, branches per plant, nodules per plant, green pod length, green pods per plant, pods weight per plant and total pod yield of french bean were significantly greater with the application of vermicompost 5t ha-1 + jeevamrurth @ 5% at a weekly interval as compared to all other treatments. This superior combination recorded 42.2% increase in green pod yield over control with the highest net returns (₹ 1,47,530 ha-1) and benefit cost ratio (2.56). Also, this treatment significantly enhanced soil organic carbon, cation exchange capacity, culturable microbial count and available nutrient contents as compared to control thus improving soil health. Interpretation: Application of vermicompost 5 t ha-1 + jeevamrurth @ 5% at weekly interval treatment performed best amongest all treatment combination for growth and yield attributes of French bean with better economic output and soil health improvement in terms of a positive nutrient balance.

Influence of nitrogen levels on yield of French bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) under different irrigation regimes

The proper irrigation and nitrogen fertilizer management are crucial for sustainable and potential production of French bean as a legume crop overall favoring human nutrition. Therefore, a field experiment was conducted during November 2018 to April 2019 at Agronomy Field Laboratory, Bangladesh Agricultural University to assess the impact of irrigation and nitrogen at the yield performance on French bean. The stages of irrigation viz., no irrigation, one irrigation during flowering at 40 days after sowing (DAS), two irrigations during flowering (40 DAS) and pod formation stage (60 DAS), and three levels of nitrogen viz., no nitrogen fertilizer, 90 kg N/ha at 100% basal application, 45 kg N/ha at 50% basal application and 45 kg N/ha at 50% pod development stage (60 DAS) were utilized in a Split-plot layout allocating irrigation to the whole plots. The treatments were replicated three times. Yield and yield attributes were appreciably influenced by both irrigation and nitrogen treatments. From irrigation treatment, the highest plant, quantity of pod/plant, length of pod, number of seed/pod, number of seed/plant, weight of 1000 grains, stover yield, biological yield and harvest index were observed in one irrigation at flowering stage at 40 DAS which consequently produced the best grain yield (2.07 t/ha); while the least grain yield (1.48 t/ha) found in control or no irrigation treatment. Considering nitrogen, the best seed yield was recorded in (45+45) kg nitrogen/ha. In interaction, the highest plant (42.87cm), number of pod/plant (5.64), length of pod (15.24), weight of 1000 grains, grain, stover, and biological yields (2.52, 3.76, and 6.29 t/ha, respectively) and the harvest index were observed in one irrigation during flowering (40 DAS) and 90kg N/ha at 50% (45 kg) basal application and 50% (45 kg) at pod development stage (60 DAS). The experiment results indicated to the scope of increasing the yield of French bean by irrigation at flowering stage and proper doses of nitrogen fertilizer. Therefore, the application of one-time irrigation during flowering stage along with 90 kg nitrogen/ha at 50% (45 kg) as basal and 50% (45 kg) at pod development stage (60 DAS) can be recommended as the promising technique for French cultivation.

Weed Dynamics and Productivity of French Bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) as Influenced by Organic Sources of Nutrients and Weed Management

Background: Balancing productivity, profitability and environmental health is a key challenge for maintaining agricultural sustainability. The use of locally available agro-inputs in agriculture by avoiding or minimizing the use of synthetically compounded agro-chemicals appears to be one of the probable options to sustain the agricultural productivity. Widespread use of herbicides has resulted in purported environmental and health problems as well as residual toxicity issues in succeeding crops. At present, the awareness on safe food is increasing. So, keeping this point in view the present investigation was carried out to evaluate the influence of organic sources of nutrients and weed management on growth, yield and weed flora of Frenchbean. Methods: A field experiment was conducted during summer season of 2016 and 2017. The present investigation was laid out in split plot design with six sources of nutrients in main plot and four weed management treatments in sub plots. Result: Application of treatment T5 recorded significantly higher growth parameters, yield attributes, fresh pod yield, net returns and B:C ratio of French bean which was statistically at par with T3 and T2. Amongst the weed management treatments, treatment W1 resulted in significantly lowest species wise and total weed density and biomass, highest weed control efficiency, lowest weed index, highest growth, yield attributes and fresh pod yield of French bean which was statistically at par with W2 and W0. However, the highest net returns and B:C ratio were obtained in weed free plots.
