Abstract

On farm trial was conducted at farmers’ field by Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Longleng,
Nagaland for evaluation of high yielding French bean varieties for optimization of
crop productivity and nutritional security of poor tribal community. Results
revealed that yield attributes i.e. pod weight; pod length and pods/plant were
markedly influenced by frenchbean cultivars among themselves. The highest pod
weight (11.3g), pod length (11.3 cm) and pods/plant (24.1) were recorded with
Arka Anoop, which were significantly higher as compared to Arka Komal and Arka
Suvidha. However, the lowest values of these attributes were associated with local
cultivar. Similarly, significantly higher green pod yield was recorded with Arka
Anoop (6.5 t/ha) followed by Arka Komal (6.1 t/ha) and Arka Suvidha (5.8 t/ha).
Hence, it may be concluded that Arka Anoop may be adopted for commercial
cultivation for achieving higher productivity and profitability under foot hill
ecosystem of Nagaland.
