Abstract
This study examined the influence of natural farming practices, specifically jeevamrit and ghanjeevamrit applications, on leaf micronutrient content and quality parameters in pea (Pisum sativum L.). Conducted during 2020-21 at Dr. Y S Parmar University of Horticulture and Forestry, Solan, the experiment used a randomized block design with seven treatments, including various organic combinations and a chemical fertilizer control. Key assessments included DTPA-extractable micronutrients (Fe, Mn, Cu, Zn) in leaves, as well as seed protein, ascorbic acid, and total soluble solids (TSS). Results showed that frequent and well-managed applications of jeevamrit and ghanjeevamrit significantly enhanced leaf micronutrient status, with values comparable to those under conventional fertilization. The highest protein and ascorbic acid contents were observed in treatments with recommended chemical fertilization or frequent organic amendments, while TSS remained consistent across treatments. Improvements in nutrient uptake and quality were attributed to better soil health, increased microbial activity, and enhanced nutrient cycling from organic inputs. Overall, the findings indicate that natural farming practices can effectively sustain or improve pea nutritional quality and market value, offering a sustainable, eco-friendly alternative to chemical fertilizers that supports both crop productivity and long-term soil fertility.
