Abstract: A field experiment was conducted during the summer season of 2019 at the College Farm, Navsari Agricultural University, Navsari, to study the “Effect of Summer Green gram (Vigna radiata L.) varieties Sulphur levels and Fertilizer levels on quality, nutrient content, and uptake under South Gujarat condition”. The soil of the experimental field was clayey in texture having medium to poor drainage capacity, good water holding capacity, low in available nitrogen, low in available phosphorus, high in available potassium and low in available sulphur and slightly alkaline in reaction. Total twelve treatment combinations consisting of three levels of varieties (V1: GAM-5, V2: GM-6 and V 3: GM-7), two levels of sulphur (S1: without sulphur and S2: with sulphur @ 20 kg/ ha) and two levels of fertilizer treatment (F1:75% RDF and F2:100% RDF) were evaluated in factorial randomized block design with three replications. The results revealed that green gram variety GM-7 with sulphur application 20 kg/ ha along with a full recommended dose of fertilizer (20:40:00 NPK kg/ ha) improve the nutrient status of soil and it also maintains the fertility status of soil because green gram is considering a soil restoring crop.
