Abstract

Insects impose widespread damage to Mangrove leaves and in severe cases even kill the Mangrove trees. Controlling of them through natural method is necessary because they are eco-friendly. The present study deals with Pesticide effect of Panchagavya and Jeevamrutham that intensify plant growth and ameliorate soil health.

Both fertilizers were reported in efficient antibacterial effect. Conclusion of this study, we reported both fertilizers them as the efficient natural plant growth stimulants. Moreover, the Pesticide activity of fertilizers was studied in Mangrove seedlings against the dangerous pests and its antibacterial activity was also scrutinized.
