The present investigation was carried out during 2014-15 in Department of Horticulture, H.N.B. Garhwal University, Srinagar (Garhwal) with the sole objective to find out the effect of integrated nutrient management on quality seed production of French bean genotype. Aim of the study is to observe the effect of different combinations of organic sources of nutrients viz., FYM, NPK, along with bio-fertilizer on different growth parameters, yield and profitability of French bean cultivar Contender. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design with eleven treatments and three replications. In this investigation, the results revealed that application of 100% RDF + Rhizobium culture+ Humic Acid. significantly decrease the days of germination (9.33), growth parameters and yield of the crop viz., plant height (43.50 cm after 60 days of sowing), number of branches plant-1 (3.83 after 60 days of sowing), green pod Weight (6.87 gm), green pod number plant-1 (67), number of grain pod-1 (6.07), Seed Yield Plant-1 (38.17 gm), seed yield bed-1 (1.027kg) and seed yield hq-1 (1430.083kg). For overall point of view of the outcome of the experiment it has been reveal that genotype with relatively bolder seeds with more number of seeds per pod, and higher bearing capacity per plant generally gives higher seed yield and relatively good plant vigour. Treatment T8, T9 and T10 is suitable for considering once for seed production point of view.
