Abstract:
The field study was conducted during rabi 2021-22 at Certified Organic plot, Agronomy Farm, College of Agriculture, Pune to investigate the response of rabi french bean to different organic sources of nitrogen viz., FYM, vermicompost, poultry manure and neem seed cake. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design (RBD) with nine treatments and three replications. All the growth, yield contributing characters and yield viz., plant height, plant spread, number of branches plant^-1, number of functional leaves plant^-1, leaf area plant^-1, dry matter plant^-1, AGR, RGR, CGR, NAR, number of pods plant-1, number of seeds pod^-1, dry weight of pod plant^-1, seed yield plant^-1, stover yield plant^-1, test weight, seed yield and stover yield were found significantly higher with the application of 100% RDN through vermicompost (T₃) followed by application of 100% RDN through poultry manure (T₅), respectively. Nevertheless, substantial reduction in all these growth and yield attributes were observed with absolute control.
