Nitrogen (N) requirement of French bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) in Bangladesh is not yet determined. The present study has evaluated the performance of French bean varieties and nitrogen rates through a field experiment conducted at the research field of Plant Physiology Section of Horticulture Research Centre, Bangladesh Agricultural Research Institute (BARI) during rabi seasons of 2016- 17 and 2017-18). The experiment was set up with frenchbean varieties BARI Jharshim-1 and BARI Jharshim-2 and N rates viz., 0, 75, 100, 125 and 150 kg N/ha arranged in a randomized complete block design, with three replications. The variety BARI Jharshim-1 treated with 150 kg N/ha produced the highest in respect of shoot dry matter yield (879.65 g/m2), number of pods/plant (29.70), weight of pods/plant (147.20 g) and green pod (marketable) yield of 19.48 t/ha); in contrast, lower yield and yield attribute was obtained with BARI Jharshim-2 with 125 kg N/ha. Pods of both varieties showed appreciable amounts of protein, vitamin-C and vitamin-A when N was fertilized at 125 followed by 150 kg/ha. Bangladesh J. Agril. Res. 46(4): 425-433, December 2021
