Abstract: Jeevamurtha, a biodynamic preparation widely used in organic farming, has shown promise in enhancing plant growth and improving soil health. In this study, we investigate the effect of Jeevamrutha application on the physicochemical properties of garlic (Allium sativum). A controlled experiment was conducted where garlic plants were treated with varying concentrations of Jeevamrutha i.e., 0 ml (control), 10 ml, 20 ml, 30 ml and 40 ml per pot, while a control group received no treatment. Physiological parameters, including plant height, leaf area, chlorophyll content, and nitrogen, were measured at regular intervals over the growth period. Our results indicate that Jeevamrutha application positively influenced the physicochemical properties of garlic. Treated garlic plants exhibited significantly higher growth rates, evident through increased plant height and larger bulb size compared to the control group. Moreover, Jeevamrutha-treated garlic plants displayed higher chlorophyll content, suggesting improved photosynthetic efficiency. The findings from this study provide valuable insights into the beneficial effects of Jeevamrutha on garlic physiology. The enhanced growth and improved physiological properties observed in garlic plants treated with Jeevamrutha suggest its potential as an eco-friendly and sustainable option to promote crop productivity.
