In the presence of work growth and productivity of different varieties of Phaseolus vulgaris (red bean) were examined in the presence of Urea, foliar fertilizer, Cobalt, Copper and blend in the field. The increase in concentrations of Cobalt and Copper affects plant height. The length of the Cobalt and Copper-treated plants was 24.8 cm and 26.8 cm respectively compared to the control (28 cm). The blend solution (Co-120+Cu-120) treated plants showed a decrease in length i.e. 27.3 cm. Maximum plant growth was observed in the foliar fertilizer-treated plants, where the plants attained a length of 34.7 cm followed by Urea treated plants (34.3 cm). This revealed that the application of foliar fertilizer and urea enhances plant growth. The high concentration Cobalt treated plants show a decrease in length and productivity as compared to control. Our analysis revealed that Copper intake has a comparatively better effect on plant growth than Cobalt.
