Online published on 16 September, 2015. Abstract Cultivation of French bean is limited in the State of West Bengal and less work has been done on the cultivation aspects of French Bean. Therefore, it is the right time to give more emphasis on the evaluation of Plant Spacing and Plant Density for growth performance, yield potential and quality improvement. But, there is hardly any precise and conclusive information available on the on various physiological processes and productivity potential in French bean. Hence, the present investigation was carried out to study the effect of different Plant spacing and plant density i.e. the Crop Geometry on the Growth and yield parameters of French Bean. From the present investigation, it has been found out that less Plant population, wider Plant Spacing and less Plant density give a poorer yield of French Bean Green Pods. From the present Experiment, it can be noted that a Plant Spacing of 30 X 15 cm of the French Bean plants i.e. a plant Density of 22 Plants of French Bean per Square Meter may give an optimum Yield and Profit.
