INTRODUCTION
Jeevamrut is combination of two words- Jeevan + Amrut where Jeevan
means life and Amrut means medicinal potion. It is available in two
forms: Liquid and Solid (Ghan-jeevamrut). It is an excellent source of
natural carbon, nitrogen, Phosphorus, potassium and other
micronutrients which are mainly use as natural manure in organic
farming.
It is very easy and quick to prepare when compared to compost and
vermicompost. Jeevamrut is a microbial culture, prepared especially
from dung and urine of Indian cow and is generally suggested to use in
organic farming to meet the nutritional requirement of crops.Laboratory
studies and field experiments were conducted to know the microbial
composition and nutrient content of jeevamrut and its effects on crops.
HISTORY
Growing inclination towards zero budget natural farming (ZBNF) in
India to reduce expenditure on external input and to reduce indebtness of
farmers, a study was made on evaluation of jeevamrut by Shri Subhash
Palekar who is an Indian agriculturist who practiced and wrote many
books about zero budget natural farming (ZBNF).
