Effect of organic manure in seed yield and seed attributes of rajmash (phaseolus vulgaris l.) under vertisols of chhattisgarh plains, India

Rajmash (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) commonly known as frenchbean is mainly the crop of hilly region and grown in northern states of India, its introduction to plain will improvised the socioeconomic condition of the farmers, as it is rich source of protein, calcium and phosphorous, also this crop has good commercial and as well as export value. In the present study Rajmash variety ‘HUR-137’ was sown at seed rate of 120 kg ha-1 for two consecutive year in rabi season under the treatment dose of 0 and 5 t ha-1 Farm yard manure (FYM) to evaluate its effect on seed yield and seed attributes by following randomized block design (factorial) and replicated thrice. 5 t FYM ha-1 shown significant increase in seed yield 1067 kg ha-1 as compared to 834 kg ha-1 along with increased number of pods plant-1 , number of seeds plant,-1 number of seeds pod-1 , pod weight plant-1, seed weight plant-1, 100-seed weight (g), seed setting index, stover yield (kg ha-1) against the 0 t FYM ha-1. The productivity rating index of 5t FYM ha-1 remained statistically superior to 0 t FYM ha.-1
