Jivamrit acts as a biostimulant by promoting the activity of microorganisms in the soil and also the activity of phyllospheric microorganisms when spayed on foliage.. It acts like a primer for microbial activity, and also increases the population of native earthworms.

Inputs needed: 10 kg of fresh cow dung, 5-10 litre cow urine, 50 gram lime, 2 kg jaggery, 2 kg pulses’ flour 1 kg uncontaminated soil and 200 litres water

Preparation of Jivamrit: The materials should be mixed in 200 litre water and stirred well. The mixture should then be allowed to ferment for 48 hours in shade. It should be stirred by a wooden stick twice, once in the morning and once in the evening. This process is to be continued for 5-7 days. The ready solution should be applied on the crops

Application of Jivamrit: This mixture should be applied every fortnight. It should be either sprayed directly on the crops or mixed with irrigation water. In the case of fruit plants, it should be applied on individual plants. The mixture can be stored for up to 15 days.

Mulching is defined as covering of soil surface using both live crops and straw (dead plant biomass) to conserve moisture, lower soil temperature around plant roots, prevent soil erosion, reduce runoff and reduce weed growth.

There are two types of mulches:

Crop Residue Mulch: This comprises any dried vegetation, farm stubble, such as dried biomass waste etc. It is used to cover the soil against severe sunlight, cold, rain etc. Residue mulching also saves seeds from birds, insects, and animals.

Live Mulch: Live mulching is practised by developing multi-cropping/inter cropping patterns of short durational crops in the rows of a main crop. It is suggested that the pattern should be of monocotyledons and dicotyledons in the same field, in order to provide all the essential nutrients. Monocots, like wheat and rice, supply nutrients such as potash, phosphate and sulphur, while dicots such as pulses are nitrogen-fixing plants. Such practices reduce the demand of a particular type of plant nutrient.

The generic principles that govern Natural farming are mentioned below:

A healthy soil microbiome is critical for optimal soil health and plant health, and thereby animal health and human health.

Soil may be covered with crops for maximum period of the year.

The soil across a farm or larger field/collection of fields should have diverse crops, a minimum of 8 crops over the year. The greater the diversity, the better.

Minimal disturbance of soils is critical, hence no till farming or shallow tillage is recommended.
Animals should be incorporated into farming. Integrated farming systems are critical for promoting Natural farming.
Healthy soil microbiome is the key to retaining and enhancing soil organic matter. Bio stimulants are necessary to catalyze this process. There are different ways of making bio stimulants. In India, the most popular bio-stimulants are based on fermentation of animal dung and urine, and uncontaminated soil.
Increasing the amount and diversity of organic residues returned to the soil is very important. These include crop residues, cow-dung, compost, etc.

Pest management should be done through better agronomic practices (as enshrined in Integrated Pest management) and through botanical pesticides (only when necessary).
Use of synthetic fertilizers and other biocides is harmful to this process of regeneration and is not allowed.

Neemastra is used to prevent or cure diseases, and kill insects or larvae that eat plant foliage and suck plant sap. This also helps in controlling the reproduction of harmful insects. Neemastra is very easy to prepare and is an effective pest repellant and bioinsecticide for Natural Farming.


Inputs needed: 200 litre water, 2 kg cow dung, 10 litre cow urine, 10 kg fine paste of neem leaves.


Preparation of Neemastra:

Step 1: Take 200 litre of water into a drum and add 10 litre of cow urine. Then add 2 kg of local cow dung. Next, add 10 kg of fine paste of neem leaves or 10 kg neem seed pulp.

Step 2: Then stir it clockwise with a long stick and cover it with a gunny bag. Keep it in shade as it should not be exposed to either sunlight or rainfall. Stir the solution every morning and evening in clockwise direction.

Step 3: After 48 hours, it is ready for use. It may be stored for use up to 6 months. It should not be diluted with water.

Step 4: Filter the prepared solution with a muslin cloth and apply directly on the crop through foliar spray.

Controls: All the sucking pests, jassids, aphids, white fly and small caterpillars are controlled by Neemastra.
