“…In okra, with the foliar application of 6% Panchagavya, Jakhar et al [60] recorded significant increase in the number of flowers plant -1 (17.38 and 24.91) at 60 and 90 DAS, respectively, and number of fruits plant -1 (18.86) as compared to control (no spray). Pradeepika et al [61] observed significantly higher number of pods plant -1 (7.27), number of seeds pod -1 (12.33), seed yield (1.28 t ha -1 ) and stover yield (4.02 t ha -1 ) in cowpea with application of 3% at 7 days interval. The highest harvest index (23.24) was also noted under the same treatment.…”

Panchagavya, a fermented liquid bio-formulation derived from cow-based products such as dung, urine, milk, curd and ghee, has recently gained importance in agricultural practices due to its reported effectiveness in enhancing vegetable crop production. Its formulation involves a fermentation process that harnesses the diverse microbial communities present in cow-derived substances, resulting in a potent nutrient-rich solution that is believed to possess plant growth-promoting properties. One of the primary mechanisms underlying its efficacy lies in the diverse array of microorganisms present in the formulation. These microorganisms, including beneficial bacteria, fungi and actinomycetes, play crucial roles in nutrient cycling, disease suppression and soil conditioning. Additionally, Panchagavya contains plant growth-promoting substances such as hormones, enzymes, vitamins and amino acids, which contribute to enhanced nutrient uptake, root development and overall plant vigour. Furthermore, application of Panchagavya has been shown to improve soil health by enhancing microbial activity, increasing organic matter content and improving soil properties. These soil improvements not only benefit the current crop but also have long-term positive implications for soil fertility and sustainability. This multifaceted approach to crop management offers a holistic solution to enhance crop productivity while reducing reliance on synthetic inputs. This review aims to comprehensively analyse the literature on the effects of Panchagavya on vegetable crops, highlighting its mechanisms of action and potential benefits for increased vegetable crop production.

During Zaid, 2022, a field experiment was conducted at Crop Research Farm, Department of Agronomy, Sam Higginbottom university of Agriculture, Technology and Sciences, Prayagraj (U.P). The soil in experimental plot was found to be sandy loam in texture, nearly neutral in soil reaction (pH 7.1). The soil had 0.76% natural carbon, 269.97 kg/ha available N and 33.09 kg/ha available P. The treatments applied were Panchagavya (30 ml/lit), Jeevamrutha (250 ml/lit), cow urine (100 ml/lit), with the spraying schedule of every 7, 10 & 15 alternative intervals. The experiment plot was designed in a randomized block of nine treatments, three times each. Based on the objectives taken, maximum plant height (88.07 cm), total number of branches (5.02/m2), number of nodules (40.87), plant dry matter accumulation (20.66 g/plant), maximum number of pods per plant (25.67), number of seeds per pods (11.60), seed yield (1.62 t/ha), stover yield (3.89 t/ha), biological yield (5.54 t/ha) were observed significantly higher in treatment combination of Panchagavya (30 ml /lit) spraying interval at 10 days interval. However, the maximum gross returns (₹ 97,200.00/ha), net returns (₹ 61,385.00/ha), and benefit: cost ratio (1.71) was found to be higher in Panchagavya (30 ml /lit) spraying interval at 10 days interval treatment combination.

“…The spraying helps in the supply of recommended nutrients to the crop regularly. Blanket application of nutrients may not be taken by plants properly but, foliar application through plant parts consumes directy by crop [9].Therefore, present study was taken to investigate the Effect of Seed Inoculation and Seaweed Extract on growth and yield of baby corn (Zea mays L.). February 2022 with the seed rate of 20kg/ha.…”

A field experiment was conducted during Zaid, 2022 at Crop Research Farm, Department of Agronomy, SHUATS, Prayagraj (U.P), India. The soil of the experimental plot was sandy loam in texture, nearly neutral in soil reaction (pH 7.1), organic carbon (0.69%), available N (271.81 kg/ha), available P (30.19 kg/ha), and available K (331 kg/ha). The treatments comprised of seed inoculation of bio-fertilizer and foliar application of Seaweed Extract Kappaphycus alvarezii (K. sap). The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design with nine treatments each replicated thrice for 60 days. The results showed that viz: Plant height (167.50 cm), plant dry weight (116.69 g/plant) were recorded significantly higher in Azotobacter Seed Inoculation along with 15% K.sap spray. Number of cobs per plant (1.38), cob length with husk (21.40 cm), cob length without husk (8.36 cm), cob girth with husk (8.45 cm), cob girth without husk (5.83 cm), cob weight with husk (68.09 g), cob weight without husk (25.53 g), cob yield with husk (16.20 t/ha), cob yield without husk (5.68 t/ha), green fodder yield (31.05 t/ha) were recorded significantly higher. Thus, biofertilizer with foliar application of Seaweed Extract (K. sap) could be a promising option for yield enhancement in baby-corn.
