A study was conducted to find out the effect of different organic manures and bio-fertilizers on bush type French bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) variety Arka Suvidha during autumn seasons of 2010 and 2011 at the Agriculture Research Station, Malepatan, Pokhara (848 masl) to assess the effects on yield and yield attributes. The treatments composed of different types of organic manures (Cattle manure, Vermin-compost, Bokashi and Poultry manure) and bio- fertilizer (Effective micro-organism and Rhizobium). The experiment was arranged in randomized complete block design with three replications. The temperature during the growth period ranged from 140C to 320 C. The results showed significant variations in different growth parameters and fresh pod yield. Application of poultry manure in combination with EM produced the highest number of branches (6.3), nodes (30.0) and plant height (29.2 cm) flower buds per inflorescence (5.3), longest (11.5 cm) and widest (10.5 mm) pods. Highest fresh pod yield (13.3 t/ha) was also produced by the application of poultry manure in combination with EM and was followed by cattle manure (11.3 t/ha). In general application of bio-fertilizers in combinations with organic fertilizers produced higher fresh pod yield.
