Abstract: This research was carried out to elaborate the effects of sowing depth of bean seeds on emergence period of the seedling and height of the seedling. The variety chosen for the study was Anupama, which is a dwarf one, around 2 feet tall & bushy in morphology. The experiment was conducted at Kumaon region of Uttarakhand, India during summer season, 2023. The trial was conducted on pots with four treatments of different depths i.e., 1cm, 2cm, 3cm & 4cm & each treatment was having four replications. During the experiment, emergence period and seedling height are studied & data was collected. The result showed that, least time was taken by seeds sown at 1 cm depth while other seeds took 6 to 8 days for emergence, talking about seedling height 1 cm seeds have 6 cm height while others have 5 cm of height and shallow seeds were having thin stems while deeper seeds show slight less height but thicker stem. Thus, experiment showed that slight deeper depth is suitable for French bean i.e. 4 cm.
