ABSTRACT
In the traditional agro practice, people have used organic nutrients panchagavya to promote plant growth. In the present, panchagavya was prepared using a modified methodology incorporating tulsi and neem oil along with traditional panchagavya constituents. Different concentration of the prepared panchagavya was tested using the common vegetable crop Abelmoschus esculentus (bhendi). The invigoration of the seed germination was found to depend on the soaking duration of panchagavya and its concentration. Growth hormones and bacteria associated with panchagavya were reported to enhance seed germination and growth.
Key words: Panchagavya, Abelmoschus sp, plant growth promoter and germination ability.
