Jevamrutha: Organic Liquid Formulations For Sustainable Agriculture Practices: A Review

In the context of today’s modern agriculture, jeevamrutha, popularized by Shri Subhash Palekar, is a panacea for the prosperity of small farmers. It is important to provide a congenial environment to microorganisms that help in making available the essential nutrients for plant growth viz., nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, to the plants. Jeevamrutha provides such an environment to beneficial microbes. Application of Jeevamrutha to soil improves the soil considerably. It also encourages microbial activity in the soil.

ABSTRAK Euchema cottonii mengandung unsur mikro dan makro nutrien, serta zat pengatur tumbuh tanaman seperti auksin, giberelin, sitokinin, dan etilen sehingga sangat berpotensi sebagai pupuk organik penyubur tanaman. Penambahan buah nanas berfungsi sebagai sumber C, P, dan K pada ekstrak pupuk rumput laut cair. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh penambahan bioaktivator PGPR (Plant Growth Promoting Rhizobacteria)dan buah nanas terhadap kandungan C-organik, nitrogen, fosfor, kalium, pH, suhu, bakteri patogen, dan organoleptik warna. Material yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah E. cottonii, PGPR, dan buah nanas.. Rancangan percobaan yang digunakan adalah Rancangan Acak Lengkap (RAL) dengan 4 perlakuan dan 3 ulangan yaitu perlakuan kontrol (A), penambahan PGPR dan buah nanas 40% (B), penambahan PGPR dan buah nanas 50% (C), dan penambahan PGPR dan buah nanas 60% (C). Parameter yang diukur adalah C-organik, nitrogen, fosfor, kalium, pH, suhu, bakteri pathogen, dan oraganoleptik warna. Data parametrik dianalisa dengan uji ANOVA. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa penambahan buah nanas yang berbeda memberikan pengaruh nyata terhadap kadar C-organik, fosfor, dan kalium (p<0,05), sedangkan nilai nitrogen tidak berbeda nyata. Perlakuan penambahan nanas 50% akan meningkatkan kandungan nitrogen dua kali lebih besar dari pada kontrol. Perlakuan terbaik yaitu pada penambahan PGPR dan nanas 60% dengan kandungan C, P, K berturut-turut adalah 7,02%, 3,44%, dan 3,41%.

The materialusedin this studywereE.cottonii, PGPR, andA. comosus.This research wasexperimentallaboratoriesusing completely randomized designwith 4 differenttreatments and 3replications, namely control (A), addition ofPGPR and A. comosus 40%(B), addition of PGPR and A. comosus 50% (C), and addition of PGPR and A. comosus 60% (D). Parametersmeasured wereC-organic, nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, pH, temperature, pathogens, and color organoleptic. Parametric datawere analyzed byANOVA. The results showedthat theaddition ofPGPRandA.comosussignificantly affect(P<0.05) to thelevels ofc-organic, phosphoruslevels, potassium levels, but not nitrogen levels. Addition of pineapple 50% will increase the nitrogen content twice higher than control. The best treatment is addition of PGPR and pineapple 60% with the content of C, P, K respectively 7.02%, 3.44% and 3.41%. Keywords: Euchema cottoni, Liquid Organic Fertilizer, PGPR, Ananas comosus

Beneficial microbes are used as the best alternative against the synthetic fertilizers and pesticides. The beneficial microbes not only help with plant growth, nutrition uptake, nitrogen fixation, but also help in acquiring the ions, not freely available to plants to uptake; these microbes also guard the plants by secreting toxic chemicals by inducing defense systems against pathogens. These microbes can provide best choice to look forward to sustainable agriculture and sustainable ecosystem. The addition of soil inoculants in the form of microorganisms or bio stimulants promise more environmentally friendly approaches for augmenting crop yields. The crop becomes less reliant on chemical fungicides and herbicides as many strains of microorganism have abilities of controlling pests. In this chapter, the interaction of beneficial plant bacteria, bio stimulants, effects on native microbial communities, and bacteria influencing economically important crops are discussed.

A 2-year study on acid dome bogs has shown that 9 tons of agricultural limestone was preferable to 3 tons for onions and carrots. Yields of potatoes were not increased with lime applications above 3 tons per acre under the conditions of this test.Increments in lime application increased soil pH and available phosphorus and decreased the exchangeable potassium.Increments in lime application reduced the total nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium present in the plant tissue at time of sampling and increased calcium. Magnesium was not affected.Unless adequate lime is applied, high quantities of fertilizer may be detrimental to plant growth.

Effective Growth

The soil is composed of several nutrients which are important for the effective growth of plants. Nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium are micronutrients which are very important for plant growth. There have been several methods and soil tests developed to test the compositions of these nutrients in the soil. Interpreting the results gotten from such tests has been a herculean task for farmers. Employing the use of a soft computing method to interpret such result would be a noble idea. In this paper, we describe the use of fuzzy logic to interpret the values of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium (NPK) gotten from conventional soil test to know their levels in the soil and predict possible NPK inputs.
