The experiment was conducted during summer seasons of 2015 & 2016 at the Research Farm of Highland Agriculture Research and Extension Centre, Kukumseri, Lahaul-Spiti district of dry temperate zone of Himachal Pradesh. The study revealed that the tribal farmers of Lahaul & Spiti district of Himachal Pradesh can take Frenchbean seed production of 'PalamMriduala' cultivar by sowing the crop in north-south row direction (more seed yield by 15.7% & Rs 1,31,467 as net returns/ha) at row spacing of 30 cm (more seed yield 22.7% &Rs 1,41,404 as net returns/ha) and by applying 62.5 N, 125 kg P2O5 and 62.5 kg K2O/ha (7.25 % more seed yield & Rs.1,31,467 as net returns/ha) as basal application to realize more productivity and profitability compared to sowing in east-west at 45 cm row spacing and 100 % of recommended dose of fertilizer.
