Abstract: A field experiment was conducted during summer season of 2018 at Agronomy Instructional Farm, C. P. College of Agriculture, S. D. Agricultural University, Sardarkrushinagar, Gujarat to study effect of cow based growth enhancers on growth and yield of summer greengram. Almost all the growth attributes of greengram such as plant height, number of branches per plant, leaf area per plant, number of root nodules per plant and dry weight of root nodules per plantshowed significant improvement due to application of jivamrut @ 500 lit/ha as soil application at 30 and 45 DAS + panchgavya @ 3% as foliar application at 20, 35 and 50 DAS. Soil application of jivamrut @ 500 lit/ha at 30 and 45 DAS alongwith panchgavya @3% as foliar spray at 20, 35 and 50 DAS exhibited its better performance bearing maximum values of number of pods per plant, pod length and seed index. Similarly, it also showed superiority and produced significantly higher seed (1103 kg/ha) and stover yield (2303 kg/ha) as well as realized maximum net returns and BCR of greengram during summer season when grown under organic farming. It also build up maximum population of rhizobium and PSB in rhizosphere over control, RDF and sole application of different bioenhancers.
