Abstract: A field study was conducted during the summer seasons of 2017 and 2018 on loamy sand soils of Agronomy Instructional Farm, Chimanbhai Patel College of Agriculture, Sardarkrushinagar Dantiwada Agricultural University, Sardarkrushinagar, Gujarat to assess the residual effect of wheat residue and fertilizer levels on growth, yield attributes, yield and economics of summer pearl millet [Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R. Br.] Under north Gujarat condition. The pooled results indicated that among the wheat residue management treatments, wheat harvesting through combine harvester and straw incorporate in soil + decomposer fungal consortia (1 lit/t) + 25 kg N/ha enhanced the plant height, number of tillers, number of earhead, length of earhead, test weight, grain yield, straw yield, gross return, net returns and benefit : cost ratio. In the case of fertilizer levels, 100 percent RDF (F3 - 120: 60 : 00 kg N : P2O5 : K2O/ha) to pearl millet significantly improved growth, yield attributes, yield, gross return, net returns and benefit : cost ratio.
