A field experiment was conducted from 2010–11 to 2012–13 during the post-rainy seasons at Navsari, Gujarat to evaluate the effects of land configuration and nutrient management on productivity, quality, nutrient uptake and economics of greengram [Vigna radiata (L.) Wilezek] cultivation. Growth attributes, viz. plant height, branches/ plant and dry-matter accumulation, and yield attributes, viz. pods/plant, seeds/pod and seed index and seed and stover yield of greengram exhibited significantly higher values under raised bed method of planting compared to flat bed. Application of recommended dose of fertilizers (RDF 20 : 40 N:P kg/ha) resulted in markedly higher growth and yield attributes, grain yield, stover yield, N and P uptake, and net returns over the application of 75% RDF. Similarly, an application of FYM at 5 t/ha resulted in higher growth and yield attributes, grain yield and stover yield over no FYM application. Among treatment combinations, raised bed planting + RDF found superior to the other treatments.
