Beetroot Improved agronomical practices for faba bean crops, such as crop establishment and plant density, fertilization and irrigation regime, weed, pest and disease management, harvesting time, and A well drained loamy soil with pH range of 5.5-6.0 with cool climate is suited for French bean cultivation. Although it can be grown on all types of soil, but loams and clay loams are best for obtaining high yield. Varieties. The French bean varieties are classified in two group's viz. Dwarf or bush types and Climbing or pole types. Cluster bean is an erect annual, growing to a height of up to 3 in with stiff erect branches. Stem is angled and leaves are trifoliate.

It contains information for use during the risk/safety regulatory assessment of genetically engineered varieties intended to be grown in the environment (biosafety). It includes elements of taxonomy, centres of origin and distribution, crop production and cultivation go for organic cultivation. French bean being a self-pollinated crop, its seed production and maintenance of its purity is much easier than other vegetable crops. Its dry seeds contain 22% proteins, 1.7% fat, 70% carbohydrates, 381 mg calcium, 425 mg phosphorus, and 12.4 mg iron per 100 gram of edible portions.

Beans are generally sown in rows 30 cms apart. The [plant to plant spacing is 12 cms. For obtaining good yield, it's plant Soil and climatic requirements for French bean production: French bean can be grown in a wide range of soil conditions, however, well-drained sandy red loamy soils are best for this crop. Heavy soils with poor drainage and alkali soils are not suitable for the cultivation of French bean. It can be grown in a pH range of 6.0.-7.0. Cool MOALF/SHEP PLUS 15 3.1.1 Appropriate Time: • French Beans are sown directly into the seed bed • Seed Rate: 20-25 kg per acre • Planting should be scheduled so that most of the crop is ready between October to mid- December and from mid-January to end of May at 2 -
