Preparation of crop calendar after performing following operations- Crop planning, raising field crops in multiple cropping systems: Field preparation, seed treatment, nursery raising, sowing, nutrient management, water management, weed management and management of insect-pests and diseases of crops harvesting, threshing, drying, winnowing, storage and marketing of produce. Preparation of balance sheet including cost of cultivation, net returns per student as well as per team of a group of students

2. Name of the crop--Frenchbean
Scientific Name—Phaseolus vulgaris
Family-Fabaceae

3.  Variety Grown-Anupam
 Duration of crop-55 days
 Allotted Plot No.-18

4.  On 15th DECEMBER 2015 the plot was allotted.
 First a plot of 4m.X 5m. Was laid out with the
help of rope, peg and measuring tape.
 Then the whole plot was ploughed with the help
of spade.
 Garden rake was used to level the field.
 Field is cleaned our field, removed the old
plant debris , levelled the plot.

7. • Before sowing of seeds, full of FYM, P & K
and half of N was applied on the lines.
• Dose: 60:60:40kg N P K/ha.
• For 20 sqr. m 120:120:80 gm NPK
• So required urea=158.54gm
 MOP=132.88gm
 DAP=260.86gm
• FYM APPLIED 4 BUCKETS
• FYM was treated with PSB

9.  Seeds are treated with Rhizobium -culture
Seed rate=40kg/ha
For 20 sq.m, seed rate=40000/10000*20=80gm

10. •Demarkation was done to find the positions of sowing with a
spacing of 60cm X 15cm
•The seeds were sown and covered to prepare a flat bed type.
•In line sowing the basal dose and FYM is incorporated and well
mixed.

14. Irrigation was done daily till the germination.
The first germination was seen on 21/12/2015
 After first phase of germination plant
population was 70%.
 So gap filling was done to ensure
100%(optimum) plant population.

16.  Bunds were raised
 Top dressing with remaining nitrogenous
fertiliser i.e., 80gms of urea.

19.  First flush of flowering was seen in 21/01/16

21.  Weeds are counted (in no) of area
(0.5X0.5)m2
 Echinocloa colona
 Botton grass(Borrheria hispida)
 Mimosa pudica

22.  Mosaic and mite attack was a problem.
 For its control milk and dicofol was sprayed
over the leaves @2ml/L

25.  Ant was a major problem durinG initial
period of germination.
 So gramixine was spread over the ant
colonies.

27.  50 grams of green chilli and 50 grams of garlic
were taken.
 Then they were grinded well.
 That pest was mixed with 1 lit. of water and left
for 12 hours.
 Then that water was strained well .
 The strained water was diluted by addition of
water and a pouch of shampoo and the volume
was adjusted to 5 liter.

29.  Pods are harvested at full grown stage but immature
and tender.
 Pods are ready for harvest 7-12 days after flowering
depending on varieties.
 In bush varieties, 2-3 harvests and in pole types 3-5
harvests are made.
 Quality of beans varies with harvests and best quality
fruits are obtained in initial harvests compared to
later harvests.
 Loss of crispness during storage and in last harvest is
attributed to loss of water and increase in water
soluble pectin.
 Seed weight is a major indicator of green bean
harvest maturity.
 Dry beans are harvested when majority of pods are
fully ripe and colour turns yellow

31.  First harvesting- 08/2/16(55DAS)
 Second harvesting-12/2/16(59DAS)
 Yield 3kg

33.  INITIALLY IN OUR PLOT WE HAD A PROBLEM
OF A BIG MOUSE HOLE BT IT WAS WELL
MANGED BY APPLYING STRAW IN IT.
 AFTER FRENCHBEAN IN OUR PLOT WE HAVE
OKRA GROWING
 OVERALL GROWTH OF TH CROP IS GOOD AND
WE GAIN EXPERIENCE ON CULTIVATION
PRACTICES OF FRENCHBEAN.
