An present field experiment was carried out to assess the effect of nutrient management on summer green gram (Vigna radiata L.) during summer 2020 at Agronomy Research Farm, RCSM College of Agriculture, Kolhapur (MH), India. The soil of experimental field was sandy clay loam textural class, slightly alkaline in reaction (pH 7.43), having electrical conductivity 0.22 dS m-1, bulk density 1.34 mg m-3 and low organic carbon content (0.39%), low in available nitrogen (238.29 kg ha-1), high in available phosphorus (30.61 kg ha-1) and medium in available potassium (251.29 kg ha-1). The field experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design (RBD) having eight treatments and three replications.A 30 cm x10cm spacing and Phule Vaibhav variety was used for seed sowing.The result showed that growth attributes at harvest viz., plant height (66.40 cm), numbers of branches plant-1 (8.20), number of functional leaves plant-1 (29.80), leaf area plant-1 (7.39 dm2) and dry matter accumulation plant-1 (31.70 g) were observed maximum with application of 100% RDF + Vermicompost 2.5 t ha-1 along with biofertilizers seed treatment as compared to other treatment. Also grain yield (15.70 q ha-1), stover yield (33.97 q ha-1), biological yield (49.67q ha-1) and quality attribute like proteincontent and protein yield were recorded more with the integrated application of 100% RDF + Vermicompost 2.5 t ha-1 along with biofertilizers seed treatment as compare to other treatments. However, lowest values of growth attributes, yield and protein content were recorded in un manured condition (Control plot).
