Abstract

 

The article reviews the documented information available on various aspects of organic farming, shelf life of liquid organic formulations of panchagavya and jeevamruth (developed using cow dung, cow urine, milk and ghee etc.) and alternative ingradients and their effects on soil and crops. The information so gathered may play a significant role in enhancing crop productivity, soil health and imparting disease resistance. The panchgavya with a shelf life of six month exhited increased level of macro and micro nutrients as well as microorganisms in the soil.
