Seventeen genotypes of French bean were evaluated to study the genetic variability component and correlation. The research was conducted at Horticultural Research Centre, Chauras Campus, H.N.B. Garhwal University, Srinagar (Garhwal), Uttarakhand (India) during zaid season, 2018. The experiment was laid out in randomized block design with three replications. The genotypic and phenotypic coefficient of variation values were high for fresh weight of nodules & dry weight of nodules per plant, number of pods per plant, pod diameter, yield of green pods per plant, per plot & per hectare and number of picking. The high heritability was found for almost all the traits studied. The yield of green pods per plot had significant positive association both at genotypic and phenotypic levels for number of pods per plant, pod weight, pod length, pod diameter, yield of green pods per plant, number of picking and yield of green pod per hectare. The selection of high yielding genotypes should be given emphasis to number of pod per plant, pod weight, pod length, pod diameter and number of pickings.
