An experiment on integrated nutrient management in French bean was conducted during 2018-2019 with treatments being T1 (50%RDF + 25%FYM + 25% Vermicompost), T2 [75% RDF + 25%FYM, T3 (75%RDF + 25% Vermicompost), T4 (75%RDF + 25%FYM + Bio-fertilizer (Rhizobium+PSB)], T5 [75% RDF + 25%Vermicompost+Bio-fertilizer (Rhizobium+PSB)], T6 [75%RDF + 12.5%FYM + 12.5% Vermicompost + Bio-fertilizer (Rhizobium+PSB)] and T7 (100%RDF). On the course of investigation, it was observed that the number of pods per plant was highest in T5 (20.00) followed by T6 (17.60), length of pod was highest with T5 (11.01 cm) followed by T6 (10.67 cm), pod circumference was highest in T5 (3.17 cm) followed by (3.11 cm) in T6, number of seeds per pod was highest in T5 (7.73) followed by T6 (7.50) and seed length was highest in T5 (1.84 cm) followed by T6 (1.76 cm). However, yield of fresh pod per hectare was highest in T5 (97.93 q/ha) followed by 89.54 q/ha in T6 and 88.56 q/ha in T3 and the lowest seed yield of 71.99 q/ha was obtained in T7. It can be concluded that application of 75% RDF along with 25% vermicompost and biofertilizer application produced a good environment supporting very good growth of French bean to produce significantly higher marketable yield during rabi season under agro climatic condition of Ranchi.
