The present investigation entitled “Performance of vegetable French bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) as influenced by varieties and sowing dates under southern zone of Andhra Pradesh” was carried out during rabi season of 2013-14 at Horticultural College and Research Institute, Dr. Y.S.R. Horticultural University, Anantharajupet, Y.S.R. District of Andhra Pradesh. The experiment was laid out in randomized block design with factorial concept with four varieties of French bean viz., Aparna, Arka Anoop, Arka Sharath and Arka Suvidha and four sowing dates such as second fortnight of October, first fortnight of November, second fortnight of November and first fortnight of December. There were sixteen treatment combinations replicated thrice. Observations were recorded on growth and reproductive parameters, yield and yield attributes and quality parameters. The data recorded on plant growth parameters revealed that the maximum plant height (30.42 cm at 30 DAS and 43.69 cm at harvest) and number of primary branches plant-1 (3.32 at 30 DAS and 6.32 at harvest) were observed in the variety, Arka Sharath. Among four varieties of French bean evaluated, Arka Suvidha was identified early with respect to number of days to first flowering, 50 per cent flowering and first pod picking (33.08, 35.90 and 46.23, respectively). With regard to yield and yield attributes, maximum number of pod bearing clusters plant-1 (4.23), single pods plant-1 (15.55), cluster pods plant-1 (8.54) and total number of pods plant-1 (24.09) were recorded with Arka Sharath whereas, the highest number of pods cluster-1 was recorded in Arka Anoop (2.07). Arka Sharath recorded maximum pod length (15.33 cm) while, Arka Anoop recorded maximum pod width and ten pod weight (1.01 cm and 66.46 g, respectively). The higher green pod yield (156.27 g plant-1, 4.37 kg plot-1 and 87.37 q ha-1) was obtained with Arka Sharath. In respect of quality traits, the variety Arka Sharath recorded maximum crude protein content (3.09 mg 100 g-1) and minimum fibre content (1.72%) in green pods. Sowing during first fortnight of November recorded higher plant height (31.10 cm at 30 DAS and 44.48 cm at harvest) and maximum number of primary branches plant-1 (3.40 at 30 DAS and 6.37 at harvest). Among different sowing dates of French bean, first fortnight of December sown crop recorded minimum number of days to first flowering (32.37), 50 per cent flowering (35.10) and first pod picking (44.82). Maximum number of pod bearing clusters plant-1 (4.38), number of pods cluster-1 (2.06), number of single pods plant-1 (17.30), number of cluster pods plant-1 (9.02) and total number of pods plant-1 (26.32) were recorded with second fortnight of October sowing which was superior to all other dates of sowing. The highest pod length and pod width (15.14 cm and 0.92 cm, respectively) and ten pod weight (66.01 g) were recorded in first fortnight of November sown crop. The green pod yield was significantly higher (167.51 g plant-1, 4.73 kg plot-1 and 94.68 q ha-1, respectively) when the crop was sown during second fortnight of October. Significantly maximum crude protein content (3.02 mg 100 g-1) and minimum crude fibre content (1.75%) in green pods were recorded with second fortnight of October sown crop. The interaction effect between varieties of French bean and sowing dates was significant with regard to total number of pods plant-1 and green pod yield. Maximum number of pods plant-1 was obtained with Arka Anoop (28.40) sown during second fortnight of October. Arka Sharath recorded maximum green pod yield plant-1 (196.53 g) with first fortnight of November sowing. Arka Anoop recorded maximum green pod yield plot-1 and green pod yield ha-1 (5.50 kg and 109.9 q, respectively). The highest gross returns (Rs. 219808 ha-1), net returns (Rs. 164077 ha-1) and benefit cost ratio (2.94) were obtained with the variety, Arka Anoop sown during second fortnight of October. Based on the results of the study, it was concluded that the French bean varieties, Arka Anoop and Arka Sharath were best suited for growing in southern zone of Andhra Pradesh and the ideal time for sowing of these varieties was during second fortnight of October and first fortnight of November, respectively. |
