Beejamrutha : The Agricultural Bioenhancer

Agriculture is most important district of Indian economy. Globally India ranks second in agriculture. Now a days, India has made much progress in agriculture field. Agriculture is primary source of livelihood for about 58% of Indian population. India is the most populated country, so there is an increased demand of food as well as land. There are two types of supplements for agriculture, specifically fertilizer and pesticides. Organic agriculture is a way of farming with an aim of conserving the natural resources through the natural agronomic practices and the use of locally available low cost inputs like cow dung, urine etc, in order to maintain soil fertility and conserve the biodiversity. Organic production is the safest way of agricultural practice. Hence the eco-friendly safe modern technologies which are acceptable to the farmers. Beejamrutha is a bio fertilizer traditionally prepared by mixing cow products, water, soil, and lime. It is a natural product helpful for the plant growth. The beneficial microorganisms present in Beejamrutha protect the plants from harmful soil and seed borne pathogens and gives immunity to the plants during monsoon. The main purpose of Beejamrutha is to remove the root fungus. The microorganisms present in Beejamrutha enhances the nitrogen fixing, phosphate solubilizing capacity of plants. The bacteria were isolated from Beejamrutha and tests for their beneficial traits. These isolates perform nitrogen fixation, phosphate solubilization and IAA (Iodole Acetic Acid) production. The beneficial microorganisms, fungi, actinomycetes, nitrogen fixers, phosphate solublizers and IAA enhancing bacteria from Beejamrutha were isolated and characterized and the influence of Beejamrutha on plant height of wheat ( Triticum aestivum) were studied. It does not having any health hazard effect to human being. So the use of Beejamrutha is very safe and it is harmless.
