Pole snapbeans var. B21 applied with different organic fertilizers took 45 to 46 days to flower, 59 to 60 days to first harvesting and 88 to 89 days to last harvesting of fresh pods. Unfertilized plants flowered and matured one or two days later. Plants fertilized with Sagana 100 gave the significantly highest number of marketable pods per plot (4061 pods per 10 sq. m). Plants fertilized with chicken dung plus triple 14 gave the significantly highest weight of marketable fresh pod per plot, 33.37 kg per plot. They also gave the significantly longest pods. Application of different organic fertilizers hastened flowering and maturity of snapbean. They increased pod length and number and weight of marketable pods per plot of snapbean. They also improved the pH, organic matter and nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium contents of the soil
