A field experiment entitled "Response of summer green gram (Vigna radiata (L.) Wilczek) to irrigation scheduling based on IW/CPE ratio and spacing" was carried out during summer season of 2015 at the Instructional Farm, Department of Agronomy, College of Agriculture, Junagadh Agricultural University, Junagadh. On the basis of one year field experimentation, it seems quite logical to concluded that under clayey soils of South Saurashtra agro-climatic zone for getting higher yield and net realization, green gram (GM 4) should be irrigated ten times at an IW/CPE ratio of 0.8 including two common irrigations i.e. first irrigation immediately after sowing, second at 5-6 days after sowing and remaining five irrigations should be given at an interval of 6-7 days and crop should be sown at 30.0 cm row spacing along with other recommended package of practices.

A field experiment entitled "Response of rajmah (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) to spacing and fertility levels" was carried out during rabi season of the year 2015-16 at the Instructional Farm, Department of Agronomy, College of Agriculture, Junagadh Agricultural University, Junagadh. The soil was clayey in texture, rich in organic carbon, medium in available nitrogen and potash, high in available phosphorus and alkaline in reaction with pH of 7.9. Total twelve treatment combinations, consisting of three spacing (S1 =30cm x 10cm, S2 =45cm x 10cm and S3 =60cm x 10cm) and four fertility levels (F0 =00-00 kg NP ha-1, F1 =60-20 kg NP ha-1, F2 =80-40 kg NP ha-1 and F3 =100-60 kg NP ha-1) were tested in a split plot design with three replications.

The present investigation was conducted at the Instructional Farm, Department of Agronomy, Junagadh Agricultural University, Junagadh during Rabi 2017-18 with an aim to study the effect of N, P and K nano fertilizers (20 % of RDF) and (10% of RDF) on growth, yield attributes and yield of wheat cv. Gujarat Wheat 366 (GW 366). The experiment was laid out in field as per Randomized block design with three replications.
