This investigation was conducted in French bean cv. 'Contender' sown at dates viz., 15 June, 15 July, 15 August and 15 September applied with four phosphorus levels viz., no P application, 30 kg P/ha, 60 kg P/ha and 90 kg P/ha and seed with and without treatment with Rhizobium phaseoli culture. The treatment with 15 August sowing, 90 kg P2O5/ha and seed treatment with Rhizobium culture was found most effective for highest values of nodulation, plant height, number of pods per-plant, grains per pod and seed yield per hectare.
