A field experiment was conducted on sandy loam soil to study the effect of application of NPKS individually as well as with different levels of micronutrients (Zn, B, Mo and Fe) on the performance and economics of urdbean (Vigna mungo (L.) Hepper). The maximum grain yield (1180 kg/ha) was obtained under chelated iron (1 kg/ha) +N-P-K-S (20-18-17-20 kg/ha) treatment with 21.6% increase over control (924 kg/ha). The higher gross realization and net profit were recorded with the same treatment. The reduction in available Fe was comparatively higher under chelated Fe (2 kg/ha) +N-P-K-S (20-18-17-20 kg/ha) indicating transformation of added chelated Fe at higher rate into soil forms other than EDTA extractable
