Abstract Summary
Researchers validated Jeevamrit, a traditional South Asian cattle-based biofertilizer, using genomic analysis and field trials. The fermented microbial consortium increased soil organic carbon by 96%, microbial biomass by 159%, and rice yields by 74% in degraded Himalayan soils. Genomic profiling revealed key functions: nitrogen fixation, phosphate solubilization, and nutrient cycling genes that explain field performance.
Why Brain? ðŸ§
Traditional fermented biofertilizer restores degraded soil through microbial action, increasing organic carbon 96% and crop yield 74%, offering scalable sustainable alternative to chemical fertilizers.
