The present investigation was carried out to study the evaluation of French Bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) Genotypes for Growth, Pod Yield and Quality under Sub-tropical Condition of Garhwal Hills at Horticultural Research Centre and Department of Horticulture, H.N.B. Garhwal University, Srinagar Garhwal, (Uttarakhand), India during summer season, 2017. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design with three replications of 15 genotypes viz., Aishwarya, Anupam, Arka Komal, Durga Pencil Bean, Nirmala 101, Nitara Green, Pant Anupama, Pauri Local, Pencil 66, Rudraprayag Local, Shaguni, Srinagar Local, Somani, Selection-9 and Contender (Check cultivar). During the investigation different growth, yield and quality parameters were recorded. The result of analysis of variance revealed that the mean sum of square due to treatment were significant at 5% level for all the traits. The result showed that, the genotype Rudraprayag Local responded superior for number of pods per plant (21.10), yield of green pods per plant (249.92 g), yield of green pods per ha.(499.75 q/ha) and number of pickings (5.00). The genotype Anupam recorded best for plant height (63.61 cm), number of nodules per plant (14.5), fresh weight of nodules per plant (150.27 mg) and the number of primary branches per plant (8.29). On the other hand, the average weight of the pod (13.52 g) was estimated in genotype Pant Anupama. Thus, it can be concluded that, the genotype Rudraprayag Local was recorded the best performer over check cultivar Contender with respect to yield parameters. Hence, the genotypes Rudraprayag Local could be recommended to enhance the production of french bean under subtropical condition of Garhwal Hills.
