Abstract: A field experiment 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 effect of wheat residue management and fertilizer levels on yield, content, uptake and nutrient status in soil of summer pearl millet [Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R. Br.] under North Gujarat Condition. The pooled results indicated that among the wheat residue management treatments, harvesting through combine harvester and straw incorporate in soil + decomposer fungal consortia (1 lit/t) + 25 kg N/ha enhanced the grain yield and straw yield of pearl millet highest content and uptake of NPK, soil chemical and biological properties over burning of crop residues. Application of 100 per cent RDF (F3 - 120 : 60 : 00 kg N : P2O5 : K2O/ha) to pearl millet significantly improved seed yield, straw yield, highest content and uptake of NPK, soil chemical and biological properties than 50 per cent RDF (F1 - 60 : 30 : 00 kg N : P2O5 : K2O/ha).
