Cowpea (Vigna unguiculata L.) is a multipurpose kharif and warm season pulses crop, commonly cultivated all over India. It is also called as black eye pea, black eye bean, southern pea, china pea, marble pea, chowli and lobiya. West Africa and India are the centers of diversified for cowpeas. Cowpea is cultivated as seed, green vegetable and fodder in many diverse agriculture systems in many countries of Africa, Latin America, and south East Asia and in the southern United States (Singh et al., 2012). The largest cowpea seed producing nation are Africa,

A field experiment was conducted during summer 2015 at Navsari (Gujarat) to study the effect of spacing and nutrient management on summer sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) under south Gujarat conditions. Among almost all the growth and yield attributes, maximum plant height and minimum number of branches/plant, dry matter production/plant, seed yield/plant, number of capsules/plant and number of seeds/capsule were recorded with spacing of 30 cm x 10 cm. While, maximum seed yield, straw yield, oil yield, nutrient uptake, net realizationand BCR were recorded with spacing of 45 cm x 10 cm. Among all the growth and yield attributes, maximumplant height, number of branches/plant, dry matter production/plant, number of capsules/plant, number of seeds/capsule, seed yield/plant, seed yield and straw yield, were recorded with the application of 100% RDF, i.e. 50-25-0 kg N-P2O5-K2O/ha). Treatments receiving 100% RDF realized the highest net realization of 35477` ha with the highest BCR of 2.69.
