A field experiment was conducted during summer season of 2019 at the college farm, Navsari Agricultural University, Navsari to study the “Effect of different nutrient management practices on yield and nutrients content and uptake of summer cowpea [Vigna unguiculata L.] 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, medium in available phosphorus and high in available potassium. Total eight treatments viz., Control (T1), FYM 5 t/ha (T2), 100 % RDF (20:40:00:20 NPKS kg/ha) (T3), FYM 5 t/ha + 50 % RDF (T4), FYM 5 t/ha + 100 % RDF (T5), FYM 5 t/ha + 50 % RDF + 1 % spray of EBPS at 30 DAS and 60 DAS (T6), FYM 5 t/ha + 100 % RDF + 1 % spray of EBPS at 30 DAS and 60 DAS (T7) and FYM 5 t/ha + 100 % RDF + 1 % spray of urea at 60 DAS (T8) were tested in randomized block design with three replications. An application of FYM 5 t/ha + 100 % RDF + 1 % spray of EBPS at 30 DAS and 60 DAS recorded significantly higher seed yield, haulm yield, N, P and K content and uptake in seed and haulm of cowpea over control. Maximum gross return of 99932 Rs/ha, net return of 58957 Rs/ha with BCR 2.44 were also incurred under same treatment.
