The field experiment was conducted during rabi season of 2012. Results revealed that organic and inorganic fertilizers combinations significantly increase the growth and green pod yield of french bean. 100% NPK + PM @ 5 t ha-1 recorded maximum plant height, number of branches, number of leaves, mean leaf area, length of pod, diameter of pod, number of pod, weight of pod, green pod yield (30.98 q per ha-1), over other treatments. But in case of highest net returns (48013 ha-1) and BCR (2.33) was obtained with application of 100% NPK + PM @ 2.5 t ha-1 and next best treatment was 100% NPK + VC @ 2.5 t ha-1 BCR (2.11).
