Good cultivable lands are not only limited but also differs in their production potential. Man made artificial fertilizers are turning its negative facet to farmers slowly destroying the fertility of the soil and decreasing the quality of produce. This has et an alarming situation to farmers and other sector in the field of agriculture. Organic manures play a key role in sustaining crop growth and productivity and use of liquid organic manures as foliar application to boost the leafy vegetables biomass is a viable option owing to quick response. With this background the present investigation was conducted to assess the effect of foliar application of biostimulant products viz., Egg amino acid and Panchagavya at various concentrations from 0.5-3.0 per cent and in combinations on the growth and yield of Greens, Palak and Amaranths and on changes in soil nutrients status. This study demonstrates that the use of organic sprays EAA and Panchagavya could be used as a valuable organic liquid fertilizer for better yield and also without the harmful effects of chemical fertilizers.
