Abstract: An experiment on integrated nutrient management in french bean was conducted during 2016-17 with the treatments being T₁ (RDF), T₂ (RDF + lime), T₃ (75% RDF), T₄ (75% RDF + lime), T₅ (75% RDF +25% FYM), T₆ (75% RDF + 25% FYM + lime), T₇ (75% RDF + 25 % vermicompost), T₈ (75% RDF + 25% vermicompost + lime), T₉ (75 % RDF + 12.5 % vermicompost + 12.5 %FYM + lime), T₁₀ (50% RDF +25% FYM + 2 foliar spray), T₁₁ (50% RDF +25% vermicompost + 2 foliar spray). Observations on seed quality parameters like vigour index, germination percentage and seedling dry weight were taken and conclusion were made. As per the observations, the highest vigour index-1 and vigour index-II was recorded in T₉ (3817.8) and T₇ (12731) respectively. The highest germination percentage was found with T₈ (92.00) followed by 91.30 in (T₃) and the dry weight of the seedling was highest in T₇ (0.146g) followed by T₅ (0.134g) and T₁ (0.123g).
