Bean is a most important pulse crop of Jtu11la and Karna li region as a whole. It is also an
indigenous crop of the region which is highly diversified. Among the scope of exporting local
products, bean is a highly potential crop in Jumla. Agriculture Research Station, Vijayanagar,
Jumla has been conducting varietal tri als on this crop s ince last few yea rs. Some entries were
co llected loca lly which were also included in the experiment. At the station it was carried out
in three replications with six treatments in 9m2 plot for each entry. Experiments were carried
out during 067/068 to 069/070. Fertilizers were applied @ 100:60:40 kg nitrogen,
phosphorous and potash!ha. Generally the seeding was done during second to third week of
Ashadh and harvested in third to fourth week of Ashwin. The result revealed the differences
in the yie ld due to genotypes as non-significant in 067/068 while the y ield during 068/069 and
069/070 was significant at p<O.OJ level. Despite non-significant differences in yield during
067/068, the genotype PB-000 1 was superior which produced 2740.67 kglha average yield
followed by KBL-1 (2266.33 kg/ha) and KBL-2 (2047.33 kg/ha), respectively. Similarly,
during the year 068/069, the genotype KBL-3 recorded highest mean grain yie ld of 2908.33
kg/ba followed by PB-0002 (2241.00 kg/ha) and PB-0001 (2095.00 kglha) while in 069/070
the genotype KBL-3 led other genotypes in yield by producing 2497.00 kg/ha followed by
KBL-1 (2006.67 kg/ha) and KBL-2 (1868.00 kg/ha), respectively. The combined analysis of
three years' result showed the effect of year as non-significant while the yie ld performance
was significant (p<0.05). Interaction between year and yield was significant (p<O.O 1) and the
genotype KBL-3 was found to be superior in tlu-ee years' yield performance which obtained
an average yie ld of2343.67 kg/ha followed by PB-0001 (2002.44 kg/ha) and KBL-1 (1982 .56
kg/ha), respectively. The yie lds of the genotypes seem to be stable in the years of experiment
and need to be promoted for better production in fi.Iture. KBL-3 is local collection while PB-
0001 is from outside the region . These tlu-ee genotypes PB-0001 , KBL-1 and KBL-3 need to
be disseminated in the region .
