Description 670-676
This study was conducted at Medicinal Plants Research and Development Centre (MRDC) of Govind Ballabh Pant
University of Agriculture and Technology, Pantnagar, District Udham Singh Nagar, India, to examine the effect of
Jeevamrit (Bioenhancer) on soil health and herbage yield of brahmi crop (var. CIM- Jagriti) and to optimise its rate of
application. The experiment was laid out in randomised block design (RBD), replicated trice. The experimental soil was
sandy clay loam in texture, neutral in reaction, having pH 6.9, medium in organic carbon (0.64%), low in available nitrogen
(180.78 kg ha-1) and medium in both available phosphorus (20.14 kg ha-1) and potassium (200.64 kg ha-1). Jeevamrit
enhances soil nutrient content, improve bulk density and biodiversity by increasing beneficial soil microbes which
mineralise the nutrients present in soil and increase their availability. Jeevamrit 4000 l ha-1 can be used as a nutrient source
in place of chemical fertilisers and expensive bulky organic manures under organic nutrient management.
