Re: Panchagavya: A multipurpose formulation in organic agriculture

[Miguel Braganza]

Dear Dr. Sultan,

Thanks for the input. I am putting it out on three net groups of plant lovers and garden enthusiasts for the information, application ... and benefits thereof ... for a larger target population.

Your presentation at the Festival of Plants & Flowers of BSG member Green Heritage SFX School, Siolim, is remembered by many and your website www.erfindia.org  is always a source of inspiration and information.

As the ActionAid slogan says, "RAMzan, diwALI, who are we to draw the line?" All festivals are a time for goodwill and good cheer ...and Diwali is here.

Happy Diwali.

Warm regards,

Miguel

hi all

please try vermiwash+panchagavya combo works too good.

3 lites panchagavya + 10 litres vermiwash in 87 litres of water... to make 100 litres.

for crops you require at an average 250 litres of the diluted mixture per acre.

regards

Dear Norvin,

Thanks for the link to the PANCHAGAVYA book extract on line. It was a pleasant surprise.

We are still getting the Panchagavya and Vikarsha from Agrihelp, Kerala. It is available at GREEN ESSENTIALS, near Ideal High School, Taleigao-Goa [just outside Panaji]. You can contact Yogita via email or call 9960643245 for additional information.

Syamantak, School Without Walls, produces Panchagavya but I am yet to see it packaged independently by the school which has it blended in the vermi-wash and composts that are also available at Green Essentials. We hope to see the availability at a wider network of Green shops ...and a rise in their usage due to easier availability.

Hello Miguel,

How are you?
Has your friend started production of panchagavya? At what rate is she selling it? How do I get in touch with her?
Btw, the manual by Dr Natarajan is available online free at this link:
