Field experiment was conducted at the vegetable unit of the Department of Horticulture, Faculty of Agriculture, Annamalai University. The study was to find out the effect of organic manures and biofertilizers on the productivity of garden bean cv. KONKAN BUSHAN. The experiment was laid out in a Randomized Block Design with 10 treatments. Each treatment was replicated thrice. Among the treatments tested, inoculation of Rhizobium and vesicular arbuscular mycorrhizae along with vegetable waste vermicompost and foliar supplementation of vermiwash proved superior and recorded significant increase on the growth characters of garden bean such as plant height, leaf area index and dry matter production during both years of crop growth. The same combination of treatments further recorded maximum pod yield (T7). As a result of increased nutrient uptake, nodulation and biological nitrogen fixation of Rhizobium, colonization of vesicular arbuscular mycorrhizae and supplement of nutrients through vermiwash and vermicompost (vegetable) and the highest 'N' content (3.02 %) of the vegetable derived vermicompost, the treatment T7 was found to be superior. These results indicate that the garden bean being a leguminous vegetable crop responds very well for inoculation of Rhizobium, VAM and vermicompost and its wash for providing all necessary nutrients in their available form which in turn leads to the avoidance of inorganic inputs.Keywords
Vermicompost, Rhizobium, Inorganic Inputs.

The response of garden bean variety Konkan Bushan to organic manures along with biofertilisers as a substitute to chemical fertilizers was studied at olericulture unit, Department of Horticulture, Faculty of Agriculture, Annamali University. Among the treatments tested inoculation of Rhizobium and Vesicular arbuscular mycorrihae (VAM) along with vermicompost and vermiwash yielded better than uninoculated and controlled treatments. As a result of increased nutrient uptake, nodulation and biological nitrogen fixation of Rhizobium, colonization of VAM and supplementation of nutrients through vermiwash and vermicompost derived from vegetable waste was found to be superior. Earliness in flowering was observed in the treatment Pressmud based vermicompost, VAM, Rhizobium along with vermiwash. The treatment supplied with Rhizobium and VAM along with flower waste vermicompost and spraying of vermiwash reigstered highest protein content. The treatment which received with pressmud based vermicompost, biofertilizer and vermiwash recorded highest fibre content. These result indicate that the garden bean being responds very well for inoculation of Rhizobium, VAM and vermicompost and its wash for providing all necessary nutrients in available form.Keywords

The present field experiment was carried out with Knolkhol cv. EARLYWHITE VIENNA in a Randomized Block Design with three replications at Department of Horticulture, Faculty of Agriculture, Annamalai University during 2015. The experiment comprised of 10 different combinations of five different sources of nutrients including organic, inorganic and biofertilizers. The effect of different treatments were observed and noted that plants treated with 50 per cent RDF + VC @ 5 t ha–¹ + biofertilizers @ 2 kg ha–¹ (T3) registered maximum growth parameters viz., plant height, number of leaves per plant, leaf length, leaf width, ischolar_main length and number of secondary ischolar_mains in knolkhol cv. EARLYWHITE VIENNA.
