The present study was carried out during 2019 in Department of Agriculture, D.I.B.N.S, Manduwala (Dehradun) to study the effect of integrated nutrient management (INM) and variety on growth, yield and quality of French bean under valley conditions of Dehradun. Treatments included eight combinations viz., T2 (100% RDF), T3 (100% RDF + FYM), T4 (75% RDF + FYM), T5 (50% RDF + FYM), T6 (100% RDF + FYM), T7 (75% RDF + Vermicompost + FYM), T8 (50% RDF + Vermicompost + FYM), besides an absolute control i.e., T1 (no organic and inorganic fertilizers applied) and was laid out in Randomized Block Design with three replications. The results revealed that application of 100% RDF + Vermicompost + FYM significantly decrease the days of germination (7.00), growth, yield and quality increased significantly over control and highest plant height (31.12 cm at flowering stage & 33.08 cm at maturity stage), number of primary branches plant-1 (6.33), days to 50% germination (38.66), number of plants bed-1 (66.00), pod length (15.06 cm), pod width (0.90 cm), number of pods plant-1 (38.66), average pod weight (5.79 g), fresh pod yield plant-1 (227.99 g), fresh pod yield bed-1 (15.04 kg), fresh pod yield hectare-1 (37.60 t), dry matter content (9.67%) and protein content (6.76%) were also recorded with application of 100% RDF + Vermicompost + FYM and lowest in control. Thus, growth, yield and quality may be improved by integrated use of organic and inorganic sources of nutrient and the nutrient management.
