Studies on organic boosters and their micronutrient composition

Abstract

The investigation pertaining to “Studies on Organic Boosters and Their Micronutrient Composition”. was carried out during the year 2016-2017 at Department of Soil Science and Agrilcultural Chemistry, College of Agriculture, Vasantrao Naik Marathwada Krishi Vidyapeeth, Parbhani. The experiment was undertaken to prepare the different organic boosters and to evaluate the organic boosters for its composition. The data obtained from present investigation on preparation of organic boosters and their chemical, biological and enzymatic content was critically analyzed using various standard procedures. Panchgavya was prepared by using nine ingredients viz. cow dung, cow urine, cow milk, curd, jagerry, cow ghee, banana, tender coconut water and water. Amrutjal was made by using cow urine, fresh cow dung, jaggery and water, whereas Amrutmitti was prepared in pit by using ingredients like compost, FYM, cow dung, cow urine and Amrutjal. The protocol of Beejamrut was developed by using materials like cow dung, cow urine, lime, bund soil or compost and water. While, Jivamrut was prepared by using cow dung, cow urine, dicot pulse flour, jaggery and compost. The high concentration of the total iron, manganese, zinc, copper and boron was recorded in Amrutmitti. Where as lower concentration of iron and manganese was noticed in Beejamrut while, Amrutjal was low in zinc and copper.
