Method and use of making Jeevamrut

  • Jeevamrut acts as a catalyst by promoting the activity of microorganisms in the soil and also provides relevant nutrients. It is also a source of organic carbon and other nutrients, but in small amounts. It acts as a primer for the activity of microorganisms, and also increases the number of native earthworms.

  • Ingredients Required: 10 kg fresh cow dung, 5-10 liters cow urine, 50 grams lime, 2 kg jaggery, 2 kg pulse flour, 1 kg dam soil and 200 liters of water.

  • Method of preparation of Jeevamrut: The ingredients should be mixed in 200 liters of water and stirred well. After this, keep this mixture in a shady place to ferment for 48 hours. It should be driven twice – once in the morning and once in the evening – with a wooden stick. Apply the prepared mixture through irrigation water or directly on the crops. It can also be applied through drip irrigation using venturi (fertigation device).

  • Application of Jeevamrut:  This mixture should be used every fortnight. Its application should be applied directly on crops through spraying or with irrigation water. In the case of fruit plants, it should be applied to individual trees. This mixture can be stored for 15 days.
