ABSTRACT

The present investigation was conducted during rabi seasons of 2016-17 and 2017-18 in the organic experimental farm of the institute by employing French bean cv. Swarna Priya. The experiment was designed after RCBD considering five organic treatments, viz.T1: Amritjal (1%); T2: Sanjivani (10%); T3: Shasyagavya (10%); T4: FYM @ 6 t ha-1 + Vermicompost @ 3t ha-1; and T5: Absolute Control. Different growth, yield and quality attributes of the crop were highly influenced by different organic treatments. In this context, T3: Shasyagavya (10%) emerged as the best treatment with the highest green pod yield of 21.15 t ha-1. However, quality contributing characters performed indifferently under the exposures of organically designed treatment conditions. Though, T3 (Shasyagavya 10%) once again materialized as the best treatment with higher amount of dry matter (9.54%), TSS (4.600Brix), ascorbic acid (65.27 mg 100g-1) and protein content (10.63 %) in edible green pods, respectively.
