Popis:	Field experiment conducted during kharif 2015 in an Alfisol with 12 treatment combinations indicated significant influence of jeevamrutha and panchagavya on physico chemical properties of soil-Organic carbon, pH and electrical conductivity. Significantly higher available nitrogen was observed with jeevamrutha @ 1000 l/ha and panchagavya @ 7.5% (357.03 kg/ha). Significant differences were observed with respect to nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium uptake in soil due to application of varied levels of jeevamrutha and panchagavya spray. Further, results indicated the higher P-solubilizers and N-fixers population with soil application of jeevamrutha and panchagavya at their higher levels. Significantly higher nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium contents in plants and higher grain yield were recorded with soil application of jeeevamrutha @ 1000 l/ha and panchagavya spray @ 7.5%. Thus, liquid organic formulations applied through soil as well as spray contributed for improved fertility status of soil.
