A field experiment was carried out during rabi season of 200405 and 2005–06 in sandy loam soil to study the response of Frenchbean (rajmash) to irrigation schedules and nitrogen levels. Scheduling of irrigation at 1.0 IW/CPE ratio was significantly better than 0.8 or 0.6 IW/CPE ratios or irrigating the crop at pre flowering and pod development stages in terms of yield and yield attributes. Similarly, application of nitrogen @ 150 kg ha−1 increased the yield of frenchbean significantly over 75 or 100 or 125 kg ha−1 during both the years of study.
