A pot experiment was conducted on french bean during the winter season of 2002–03 in the research farm (wire house) department of Soil Science, College of Agriculture, C.A.U., Imphal to study the response of French bean on the decomposed organic matter on growth and yield. Urban waste is enriched with micro-organisms (Aspergillus niger, Trichoduma Viride, Azotobacter) and Vermiculture (Endrillus sp.) The application of decomposed urban waste with total nitrogen 0.58%, 1.9% available phosphorus 0.45%–0.67% and available potash 1.4%–1.8% increase the yield of French bean to 228 gm/pot from 53 gm/pot. The response on growth and yield of french bean (228 g/pot) was recorded higher in the decomposed manure enrich with vermiculture. Aspergillus niger and Azotobecter compared with enriched Trichoduma viride, (167.3 g/pot) rock phosphate, Aspergillus niger and Azotobacter.
