Abstract: Use of organic fertilizer is being promoted as the sustainable method of agriculture for maximizing yield. In this study the six different combinations of Panchagavya are prepared and laboratory growth study is made using seed. Vigour index is used for quantifying growth rate of seeds. Result indicates that 500ml of tender coconut water added to the control combination gives maximum yield. The efficacy of the optimal Panchagavya combination from the lab study is applied to the field directly yielding much higher growth than the other methods used by the farmers.
