Zero budget natural farming components Jeevamrit and Beejamrit augment Spinacia oleracea L. (spinach) growth by ameliorating the negative impacts of the salt and drought stress.

This article discusses the use of traditional biofertilizers, Jeevamrit and Beejamrit, in enhancing the growth of spinach plants under salt and drought stress conditions. The study found that these biofertilizers increased nutrient uptake and antioxidant enzyme activity in spinach plants, mitigating the negative effects of salt and drought stress. The treatment also improved germination percentages, reduced electrolyte leakage, and increased relative water content in the plants. The study also identified and characterized plant-beneficial bacteria present in the bio-inoculants. These findings suggest that the presence of these microorganisms contributes to the growth stimulation observed with Jeevamrit and Beejamrit treatment. [Extracted from the article]
