Green Revolution aims to boost food production and feed millions of Indians, but it also has negative effects on agriculture and society's health. Natural manures like cow dung and cow urine can counteract the adverse effects of inorganic fertilizer on soil along with improving physicochemical qualities, maintaining the soil quality, and increasing crop output. Zero Budget Natural Farming (ZBNF) formulations like Jivamrit promote soil health and microbial activities and are an excellent source of macronutrients, other micronutrients needed for plant growth, plus adds beneficial microbes, nitrogen (N2), phosphorus (P), potassium (K), and natural carbon (C). Further, conventional agricultural methods, like monocropping and heavy tillage, can damage soil bacteria which contributes to sustainable agriculture through nitrogen fixation, siderophore synthesis and nutrient absorption. A sustainable agricultural system is resource-efficient, socially and commercially competitive, ecologically sound, and supportive of society. Jivamrit, a natural organic manure, is gaining interest due to concerns about the sustainability of input-intensive agriculture systems. It promotes crop growth, quality, and yield, enhances soil pH, population, and activity of beneficial microorganisms, and helps with nitrogen fixation, phosphate solubili-zation, and easy decomposition. Long-term use of Jivamrit, may disrupt soil microbial balance, may leading to overpopulation of certain species. The current review on the Jivamrit emphasizes on the biological and chemical characterization and its significance to the agriculture.
绿色革命旨在提高粮食产量，养活数以百万计的印度人，但它也对农业和社会健康产生负面影响。牛粪和牛尿等天然肥料可以抵消无机肥料对土壤的不利影响，同时改善土壤的物理化学性质，保持土壤质量，并提高作物产量。像吉瓦姆里特（Jivamrit）这样的零预算自然农法配方能促进土壤健康和微生物活动，是植物生长所需大量营养素、其他微量营养素的优质来源，还能增加有益微生物、氮（N2）、磷（P）、钾（K）和天然碳（C）。此外，传统农业方法，如单一作物种植和深耕，会破坏土壤细菌，而这些细菌通过固氮、铁载体合成和养分吸收对可持续农业起到促进作用。可持续农业系统资源高效、具有社会和商业竞争力、生态健全且有利于社会。由于人们对投入密集型农业系统的可持续性感到担忧，天然有机肥料吉瓦姆里特正受到关注。它能促进作物生长、提高品质和产量，提高土壤pH值，增加有益微生物的数量和活性，并有助于固氮、磷的溶解和易于分解。长期使用吉瓦姆里特可能会扰乱土壤微生物平衡，可能导致某些物种过度繁殖。当前对吉瓦姆里特的综述着重于其生物学和化学特性及其对农业的重要性。
