In the present investigation diverse genotypes of French bean were evaluated to identify higher yielding genotypes with important yield component traits. Seven genotypes of pole type French bean viz., EC-530833, IC-320968, EC-500638, IC-319827, EC-540796, IC-319423 and EC-530838were assessed for performance at Main Agriculture Research Station, Raichur. Highly significant differences were observed in the genotypes for all the characters under study. An overall perusal on the performance of genotypes revealed that EC-530833 registered maximum yield hectare-1 (17.02 t) followed by IC-319827 (16.62t) and IC-319423 (16.32t) whereas; EC-530838 recorded minimum pod yield hectare-1 (15.13t). Plant height, number of branches plant-1, stem thickness, leaf area, LAI, number of pods plant-1, ovule number pod-1, weight of 10 pods, number of seeds pod-1 and pod yield plant-1 showed significant difference among the genotypes. Among seven genotypes EC-530833 registered the highest in all the above characters (152.00cm, 50.47, 9.49mm, 98.22 cm2, 5.46, 80.29, 7.40, 37.80g, 7.03 and 255.33g) also showed less number of leaf miner maggot’s leaf-1. It can be concluded that the difference in yield may be attributed mainly to the difference in their pod length, number of pods plant-1, pod weight, leaf area, number of seeds pod-1, number of branches plant-1.
