Abstract

Due to the decline in agricultural productivity from the careless use of chemicals and unscientific intensive farming, a shift towards eco-friendly organic methods is necessary. Organic inputs like Kunapajala can enhance soil health and protect plants, boosting productivity. Kunapajala, an ancient organic manure from India, decomposes animal feces and recycles bio-waste into nutrients. It includes dairy excreta, products, natural resources, and non-edible by-products. This traditional formulation, adapted over time, contains essential vitamins, enzymes, growth hormones, and bio-pesticidal compounds. Kunapajala can be used alone or with other nutrients, promoting sustainable crop production.
