An experiment was carried out during the summer season of the year 2023 at Junagadh Agricultural University, Junagadh (Gujarat) on Effect of foliar application of nano urea on growth, yield and profitability of summer pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum L.). The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design. The results of experiment revealed that application of 75% RDN + Foliar spray of 0.4% nano urea at 25 and 45 DAS recorded significantly the highest value for plant height, SPAD meter reading and numbers of tillers per plant. Similar treatment enhanced yield attributes viz., effective tillers per plant, length and girth of ear head, grain yield (4323 kg/ha), fodder yield (9803 kg/ha). The highest gross and net return of 117878 ₹/ha and 72374 ₹/ha of obtained with treatment of 75% RDN + Foliar spray of 0.4% nano urea at 25 and 45 DAS.
