They adversely affect the microbial population present in the soil and due to that ecological balance is hampered. Now-a-days liquid organic manures are becoming popular to combat the adverse effect of chemical fertilizers. They can supply essential nutrients to the crop plant and also provide several growth promoters and bio-control agents to prevent disease and pest infestation. Liquid organic manures can be prepared by using several farm inputs and daily household materials. So the cost required to prepare these liquid organic manures are very less comparing with the chemical fertilizers and pesticides. In order to maintain sustainability in agriculture liquid organic manures should be adopted in a large extent (Kannaiyan, 2000; Kanwar, 2006). Panchagavya literally means “mixture of five cow products”. According to Hindu dharma, Panchagavya has high significance. It can be used as an Ayurvedic medicine and it has good potential as an organic fertilizer and pesticide (Dhama et al., 2005; Kumar, 2005). Jeevumrutha is one of the four pillars of the International Journal of Current Microbiology and Applied Sciences ISSN: 2319-7706 Volume 8 Number 05 (2019) Journal homepage: http://www.ijcmas.com A study on quality analysis and characterization of Panchagavya, Jeevumrutha and Sasyamrutha was carried out in the departments of soil science, plant pathology and biochemistry, UBKV, coochbehar-736165, West Bengal during February, 2019. Motive of this work was to characterize these liquid organic manures according to their Physical properties, macro and micro nutrient Content, Microbial population and amount of growth promoters present in them. Jeevumrutha recorded highest values in most of the parameters followed by Panchagavya and Sasyamrutha. It is recommended that all of these liquid organic manures can be used as an alternative against chemical fertilizers and pesticides.
