How does the application of Jeevamrit in Zero Budget Natural Farming (ZBNF) influence soil microbial activity, nutrient availability, and overall soil fertility, and what are the long-term implications for sustainable agriculture?
The application of Jeevamrit in Zero Budget Natural Farming (ZBNF) significantly enhances soil microbial activity and nutrient availability. Jeevamrit, a fermented bio-fertilizer made from cow dung, cow urine, jaggery, pulse flour and soil acts as a microbial inoculant, enriching the soil with beneficial bacteria and fungi. These microbes accelerate organic matter decomposition, improving soil fertility and nutrient cycling. Additionally, Jeevamrit enhances nitrogen fixation and phosphorus solubilization making essential nutrients more available to plants. Regular application improves soil health, structure and moisture retention leading to sustainable and chemical free farming.
