Abstract
The present investigation was undertaken at Horticulture Farm, Institute of Agriculture, Visva-Bharati University, West Bengal (India) during winter (rabi) season from December 2012-March 2013 to study the effect of mulching on physiological growth parameters of French bean. The results of plant growth analysis revealed that highest plant height (60.71cm), leaf area index (6.29), dry matter accumulation (826.23 g m-2 ), crop growth rate (14.49 g m-2 day-1) and relative growth rate (1.26 g-1day-1) were observed under paddy straw mulch @ 10 t ha-1.
