Abstract
French Bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) belongs to the family Fabaceae and is native to South America. French bean has evolved from wild growing vine distributed in the high lands of Middle America and Andes. This important legume crop is grown for its dry grain and tender pods in North-Western India. This offseason crop can be successfully raised under Punjab conditions during winter season which fetches higher price in the market and economical to the farmers when there is no availability of green pods from high altitude. It is widely cultivated in tropics, sub-tropics and temperate regions. When bean plant infected by fungal, bacterial or any other pathogen, different alternations are observed. The present study was carried out in the department of Botany, Darrang college to compare the biochemical changes occurring in bean plants growing in normal soil, and sterilized soil mixed with fungus Rhizoctonia solani.
