French bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) is an economically important leguminous vegetable crop with high nutritional value and short cultivation period. A comprehensive field investigation was conducted during rabi seasons 2023–24 and 2024–25 at the experimental farm of Vasantrao Naik Marathwada Krishi Vidyapeeth (VNMKV), Parbhani, to evaluate the effect of varieties, spacing, and nutrient levels on growth, phenology, and yield of French bean. The experiment was laid out in a split-plot design with three replications, comprising three varieties (Arka Suvidha, Arka Komal, and Phule Varun), three spacing levels (45 × 10, 45 × 20, and 45 × 30 cm), and three nutrient levels (100:50:50, 120:60:60, and 140:70:70 kg N:P:K ha?¹). Pooled results revealed that Arka Suvidha recorded maximum plant height (68.4 cm) and number of functional leaves per plant (34.1). Spacing of 45 × 30 cm produced the highest number of green pods per plant (28.3), pod length (14.4 cm), and green pod yield (10.28 t ha?¹). Application of 140:70:70 kg N:P:K ha?¹ resulted in significantly superior growth and yield parameters, recording highest green pod yield (119.1 kg ha?¹). The interactive effect indicated that Arka Suvidha × 45 × 30 cm spacing × 140:70:70 kg N:P:K ha?¹ delivered the most favorable performance. Cultivation of Arka Suvidha at 45 × 30 cm spacing with 140:70:70 kg N:P:K ha?¹ is recommended for higher productivity and economic returns under Parbhani agro-climatic conditions.
