Abstract

In India, Panchagavya is an organic blend of five or more cow-derived components used in Hindu rituals and agriculture. This biofertilizer and plant growth enhancer is made from five cow products, with "Panchagavya" meaning "five cow derivatives" in Sanskrit. Valued in sustainable agriculture, Panchagavya enhances plant health, soil fertility, and protection methods. It also boosts immunity in animals by promoting antibody production and is used to increase appetite, heal wounds, and treat conditions like psoriasis in humans. This article explores the modern uses of Panchagavya in pest and disease management.
