The study on Influence of fertigation and bio-stimulants on growth and yield parameters in pole type of French beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) under shade net condition was carried out at the Horticulture farm, College of Agriculture, UAS, Raichur during late kharif 2023-24. Fertigation was applied at100% RDF, 75% RDFand50%RDF subsequently foliar spray of Humic acid (0.3%)and vermiwash (5%). The experiment was laid out by adopting spilt plot design for the statistical analysis. The RDFof120:90:30kg ha^-1wasappliedtothesoilasacontrol. It was evident that fertigation of 100% RDF via water soluble fertilizers coupled with foliar application of Humic acid (0.3%) resulted in maximum growth and fresh pod yield parameters through increased plant height (191.18 cm), number of leaves per plant (46.40), leaf area (7313.10cm²), chlorophyll content (3.65mg g^-1) and fresh pod yield of 23.25 t ha^-1. Hence, the study revealed that Fertigation of 100 per cent RDF through water soluble fertilizers and foliar spray of Humic acid (0.3%).
