A field experiment was conducted during summer season of 2018 at the college farm, Navsari Agricultural University, Navsari to study the “Production potential of summer greengram [Vigna radiata (L.) Wilczek] to different nutrient management practices under south Gujarat condition”. The soil of the experimental field was clayey in texture having medium to poor drainage, low in available nitrogen and organic carbon and medium in available phosphorus and available potassium. Total seven treatments viz., Control (T1), FYM @ 2.5 t/ha + 100% RDF (T2), FYM @ 5 t/ha + 50% RDF (T3), FYM @ 2.5 t/ha + 50% RDF + spraying of enrich banana psuedostem sap @ 10 ml/l of water at branching and 50 % flowering stage (T4), vermicompost @ 1 t/ha + 100% RDF (T5), vermicompost @ 2 t/ha + 50% RDF (T6) and vermicompost @ 1 t/ha + 50% RDF + spraying of enrich banana psuedostem sap @ 10 ml/l of water at branching and 50 % flowering stage (T7) were tested in randomized block design with four replications. Most of the growth and yield attributes viz., plant population at harvest, plant height at 60 DAS, test weight and harvest index did not affected significantly by different nutrient management treatments. An application of vermicompost @ 1 t/ha + 50% RDF + spraying of enrich banana psuedostem sap @ 10 ml/l of water at branching and 50 % flowering stage (T7) recorded significantly higher plant height (47.41 cm) at harvest, number of branches per plant (4.30), dry matter production per plant (10.71 g), number of pod per plant (32.75), number of seed per pod (9.30), seed yield (1390 kg/ha) and haulm yield (1751 kg/ha) over control. Similarly, the maximum gross realization Rs 95594/ha, net realization Rs 63645/ha and the BCR value of 2.99 were observed with the application of vermicompost @ 1 t/ha + 50% RDF + spraying of enrich banana psuedostem sap @ 10 ml/l of water at branching and 50 % flowering stage.
