Observation were recorded on plant height (cm), fresh weight of shoot (g), dry weight of shoot (g), days taken to 50% flowering, number of pod/plant, number of seed/pod, pod length (cm), seed yield/plant (g). It was observed that application of nutrient level and varieties had significant influence on growth, yield and yield parameters in french bean. Variety Swarna Priya recorded the highest values of growth, yield and yield parameters of french bean. Similarly; nutrient level N4 recorded the maximum highest values of growth, yield and yield parameters of french bean which were significantlysuperior to other treatments.
