2. About Sanjeevan System
 Based on principle of internal energy or vital energy
management which is the base of Yog Shastra.
 Vital energy governs the internal function of any living being
through the energies of:
 Panch Mahabhutas i.e. five basic elements and
 Panch Pranas i.e. five life forces.

Co-relation Between Principles of Yog Shastra
and Plant Physiology

4. • Because of unfavorable climatic conditions
and any external interference in the life-cycle
of plant, physiological processes are disturbed.
• Sanjeevan system has identified certain herbs
which activate/ induce the energies Pancha
Mahabhutas and Pancha Pranas. This
optimizes the physiological processes.
How Does Sanjeevan System work?

5. • Nutrient Absorption by plants
• Respiration
• Photosynthesis
• Systemically acquired resistance
• Enhancing tolerance to abiotic stress

12. Agricultural Research Station Dharwad Farm, Dharwad Seasonal
& Crop Condition (2012-13)
 Year 2012: drought year which received total rainfall of 549.00mm.
 Late onset of rainfall: sowing delayed by 30-40 days.
 Although sowing was done in July, the crop growth was stunted because of less rainfall.
 No rainfall from 40-88 days except about 30mm at around 55-60 days.
 The overall crop growth is reduced and yield reduction is expected in any case. In the
farmers fields also there was reduced growth due to less rainfall in majority districts.

Comparison Between T3 and Control

23.  Even during unfavorable conditions such as drought year, Fugall was
extremely effective in enhancing CO2 absorption and thereby increasing the
yield.
 Foliar application of Fugall @ 2 ml/lit of water at 60 and 90 DAS recorded
significantly more seed cotton yield.
 This has been supported from the physiological observation like rate of
photosynthesis, leaf area index, total leaves, plant height and more number of
sympodial branches including yield components viz. boll weight and number of
bolls per plant.
Conclusion:
