Abstract

Treatment combinations includes four jeevamrutha levels (0, 1000, 1500 and 2000 l ha−1) and three panchagavya levels (0, 3 and 6%). Application of higher levels of jeevamrutha (2000 l ha−1) and panchagavya (6%) recorded significantly higher plant height (27.26 and 26.74 cm), No of branches (6.64 and 6.13), leaf area (1181.26 and 1136.6 cm2), pods per plant (15.36 and 14.69 g) and green pod yield (134.3 and 124.4 q ha−1) followed by jeevamrutha at 1500 litres per ha and 1000 l ha−1application (115.0 and 106.7 q ha−1) and panchagavya at 3 per cent (116.0 q ha−1). Significantly lower growth andgreen pod yield were found in without panchagavya (101.4 qha−1) and without jeevamrutha application. The lower growth and french bean yield was recorded in without jeevamrutha and panchagavya application (83.0 q ha1). Application of jeevamrutha and panchagavya resulted in significantly higher microbial population as compared to without jeevamrutha and without panchagavya application.
