The experimental results revealed that all the fertilizer treatments increased the plant height, number of branches plant-1 , pod length, pod weight and pod yield of French bean significantly over control treatment. Maximum plant height (39.03 cm), number of branches plant-1 (18.25), pod length (14.10 cm), pod weight (5.37 gm) and pod yield (8.26 t ha-1) were recorded in the treatments receiving 120 kg N, 90 kg P2O5 and 90 kg K2O ha-1. The economics of fertilizers were also worked out on the basis of current market prices and it was found that use of fertilizer was profitable. The cost benefit ratio ranged between 4.90 and 6.05.

However, the increase in 1000 grain weight and grain yield per hectare was upto 80:50:50 kg/ha NPK level after which it dropped. On the basis of these ...
