Observed Effects of Panchagavya in plants
Panchgavya should be used in gardens, in agriculture fields, on fruit plants, at homes, everywhere as it enables us to avoid toxic chemicals. Toxic chemicals are the reason for increasing diseases, decreasing immunity, deteriorating human health, and worsening environmental health. Pesticides, herbicides, growth promoter chemicals once enter the food chain do not degrade but go to the next trophic level and get concentrated at each trophic level (biomagnification process). These chemicals are responsible for increasing cancer in humans.
Panchgavya can help in avoiding poisonous chemicals in food and in our environment.
Cost-Wise
Cost of preparation of 30 Lt of concentrate solution comes to Rs 1200-1350 or 40-45 Rs per litre.
This 30 litre solution can be used up to 10 times if used for direct spray or up to 3 times, if given through soil.
On one hand this cost is much lesser as compared to any other chemical supplement and on the other it has no toxics and thus beneficial to humans, birds, bees, insects, and all pollinators.
Concluding….
Areas where humans come in close contact with plants like, homes, gardens, agricultural fields, Panchgavya should replace chemicals.
The miraculous effects of Panchgavya do offer us peace of health and mind.
