Abstract:
The present investigation was carried out at Vegetable Research Farm, Department of Horticulture, Institute of Agricultural Sciences, Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi (U.P.) during the Rabi season of 2012-13 on 21 diverse genotypes of french bean in order to evaluate the quantitative variation with respect to yield and yield contributing plant traits. The pod yield per hectare ranged from 87.93 (RLFB-58) to 138.88 (HOR-137). The highest pod yield per hectare was recorded by 138.88 (HOR-137), followed by PDR-14 (138.56) and EC-592938 (138.35 g). On the basis of results of this experiment it can be concluded that earliness behavior of the genotypes was not good for high yield while most of the high yielding genotypes were showed late maturity. In the present experiment, LVFB-2, RLFB-58 and RCFB-64 were found early maturing genotypes which may be used for the development of short duration cultivars.
