Abstract
The experiment was carried out at Horticultural Farm, Sher-e-Bangla
Agricultural University, during the period from November 2016 to April 2017
to study the application of Phosphorus fertilizer interaction with Variety for
higher growth, seed yield and seed quality of bush bean. The experiment
consists of two factors. Factor A:Three BARI Bush Bean variety, BARI Bush
Bean-1, BARI Bush Bean-2 and BARI Bush Bean-3. Factor B: four levels of

RCBD with three replications. Results showed that highest seed yield of bush
bean (3.46 t) was found from BARI Bush Bean-2 variety and lowest seed yield
(2.12 t) was found from BARI Bush Bean-3 variety. For different levels of
Phosphorus, highest seed yield of bush bean (3.44 t) was found from P

(100 kg
