Question

I am using Jabref to manage biblografy. I want to get

Z+F Imager, 2013: Retrieved 18 / 09 / 2013, from http://www.zf-laser.com:

Here is a minimal example.
% my Question

\documentclass[12pt,twoside]{report}% Use this line for the print version of the thesis

\usepackage{natbib}
\begin{filecontents}{\jobname1.bib}
@MISC{Imager2013,
  url = {http://www.zf-laser.com},
  year = {2013},
  author = {Z+F Imager},
  title = {Z+F Imager web-site},
  howpublished = {2013},
  month = {09},
  owner = {sS},
  timestamp = {2013.09.16}

}

\end{filecontents}

\begin{document}

%%%%%%%%%%%%% begin Bibliography %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

\bibliographystyle{apalike}

\bibliography{\jobname1}

\end{document}

% output%

Imager, Z. (2013). Z+f imager web-site. 2013.

How can I manage my fields to get required output.

The apalike style doesn't know what to do with the url field, nor with timestamp. You could add it as a note: note={Retrieved on 18/09/2013 from \url{http://www.zf-laser.com}} Load the url package or leave out \url. — egreg, Sep 18 '13 at 15:22
I would also look into using biblatex. Are you particularly attached to BibTeX/natbib? (That is, would you accept a BibLaTeX solution?) — Sean Allred, Sep 19 '13 at 04:21
I m using natbib and I am happy with it for my work. Can some one provide solution using my file. — user31177, Sep 19 '13 at 05:57

If you want to stick with natbib, the best you can do is probably this.

Note that I kept the title field, as it is a good idea to have a little more than the author to go by.

You can use the howpublished or note field to provide the information about URL and access date (though, semantically, howpublished is probably only apt for the URL, not the retrieval date).

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{hyperref}
\usepackage{natbib}

\begin{filecontents}{\jobname.bib}
@misc{Imager2013,
  url = {http://www.zf-laser.com},
  year = {2013},
  author = {{Z+F Imager}},
  title = {{Z+F} {Imager} web-site},
  month = {09},
  note = {Retrieved on 18/09/2013 from \url{http://www.zf-laser.com}},
}
\end{filecontents}

\begin{document}
\citet{Imager2013}

\bibliographystyle{apalike}
\bibliography{\jobname}
\end{document}

which gives enter image description here

If you do want to use the url field, you will have to modify the apalike style quite a bit, as it is as of now unaware of any url-related features.

If you don't mind using biblatex, the following code snippet is the way to go. biblatex offers a natbib compatibility mode (see § 3.7.9 of the documentation) and JabRef supports biblatex (see here).

\documentclass[american]{article}

\usepackage{babel}
\usepackage{csquotes}
\usepackage[backend=biber,style=apa,natbib,urldate=short]{biblatex}
\usepackage{hyperref}
\DeclareLanguageMapping{american}{american-apa}
\addbibresource{\jobname.bib}

\begin{filecontents}{\jobname.bib}
@misc{Imager2013,
  url = {http://www.zf-laser.com},
  year = {2013},
  author = {{Z+F Imager}},
  title = {{Z+F} {Imager} web-site},
  month = {09},
  url = {http://www.zf-laser.com},
  urldate = {2013-09-18},
}
\end{filecontents}

\begin{document}
\citet{Imager2013}

\printbibliography
\end{document}
