Assessing the Impact of Sustainable Nutrient Regimens on the Growth Metrics, Floral Dynamics and SoilHealth of Viola × wittrockiana

As contemporary environmental challenges increasingly threaten the sustainability of agricultural
production systems, natural farming emerges as a cost-effective and eco-friendly solution. By
employing agro-ecological principles, NF not only bolsters soil health and biodiversity but also
minimizes input costs. By improving microbial dynamics and enzymatic activity in the soil, this
methodology contributes significantly to climate change adaptation and resilient food production. A
research study was executed to evaluate the influence of Ghanjeevamrit and Jeevamrit on two potted
pansy cultivars. The results indicated that administering Ghanjeevamrit at an 80 g per pot rate, along
with a 10% Jeevamrit foliar application, yielded the earliest flowering, optimized plant height and
spread, maximized flower count, extended flowering duration, improved pot presentability ratings and
recorded the highest total viable microbial counts, in addition to elevated soil chemical properties.
The investigation on the effects of Ghanjeevamrit and Jeevamrit on potted pansy cultivars grown in
mid-hill settings has numerous limitations. The controlled, small-scale experimental design limits the
applicability of findings to open-field circumstances or other crop species. Furthermore, the study's
short length limits an evaluation of the long-term effects of these natural inputs on soil health, insect
dynamics, and overall ecosystem sustainability. Unstandardized preparation and application
techniques for natural inputs, such as Jeevamrit and Ghanjeevamrit, might result in unpredictable
outputs, limiting repeatability and scalability across agro-climatic zones.
