Abstract
At present, organic farming practices are getting more attention around the world owing to their sense of nutrition. Interestingly, nutrition refers to the taking of nutrients from food and utilizing for growth and molecular metabolism. Currently, organic farming involves the judicious combination of green manures, animal manures, bio-fertilizer, bio-botanical pesticides and crop rotations as well as crop residues. Among them, Panchakavya, Bijamrutha and Jivamrutha have come in to the line of natural agriculture. Therefore, the present study explored the bottle gourd (Lagenaria siceraria) growth along with these products for various treatments. In this bottle gourd, three different components were used for Panchagavya, Beejamrutha and Jeevamrutha at ten different concentrations. Along with this, one control was maintained for this plant. Various morphological parameters were used to identify plant growth such as plant height, root length, shoot length, and flowers count. Finally, harvested vegetables are used for quality analysis such as ascorbic acid, vitamin-C, phenolic compounds, antioxidants and nutrient analysis. From this study, plants using organic fertilizers shows significantly increased nutrient content and plant growth compared to control. The combination of Panchakavya + Bijamrutham + Jeevamrutha achieves excellent growth with eco-friendly and low cost liquid fertilizer nutrient enrichment.
