Abstract: Indian agriculture, long rooted in traditional eco-friendly practices, now faces soil degradation, pollution, and declining productivity due to excessive chemical inputs. To restore sustainability, organic fermented liquids—such as Kunapajala, Jivamrit, Amritjal, and Panchgavya—are emerging as viable alternatives. These indigenous bio-formulations enhance soil microbial activity, improve nutrient availability, and boost crop resilience, reducing dependency on external agrochemicals. Rooted in ancient Indian texts like Vrikshayurveda and Krishi Parashara, their use aligns with modern sustainable initiatives such as Bhartiya Prakritik Krishi Padhati. This review highlights the composition, preparation, and benefits of these organic fermented liquids, emphasizing their potential to rejuvenate soil health, support zero-budget natural farming, and promote sustainable agriculture.
