Abstract:
An experiment entitled "Effect of Integrated nutrient and weed management in French bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) with an objective to study the growth and yield behaviour of French bean under the influence of herbicide application and integrated nutrient management was conducted at the Pili Kothi Research Farm of Tilak Dhari Post Graduate College, Jaunpur, Uttar Pradesh during the Rabi seasons of 2018-19 and 2019-20, respectively. The experiment was laid out in Split plot design with 5 levels of weed management practices in main plot and 4 levels of nutrient management treatments in sub-plot and replicated thrice. This investigation recorded significantly higher plant height (cm), no of branches plant^-1, pod length (cm), number of pods plant^-1, number of unfilled pods (minimum), number of grains pod^-1, 100 grains weight (g), grain yield (kg ha^-1), straw yield (kg ha^-1) and biological yield (kg ha^-1) under two hand weeded (20 & 40 DAS) plots. Among the herbicide application, Imazethapyr @ 50 g a.i. ha^-1 at 20 DAS (W₄) was significantly superior to all other herbicide in respect to growth and yield attributes of French bean. The doses and sources of nutrients have significant influence on growth and yield of French bean. Significantly highest yield and attributing parameters were registered with 100 percent RDF.
