“…Application of Panchagavya as seed treatment led to a significant decrease in Phytophthora blight and anthracnose in capsicum [83], and early blight in tomato [84]. Rathore and Patil [85] observed inhibition up to 66.7% and 83.3% in Fusarium solani, and 100% and 100% inhibition in Sclerotium rolfsii at 5% and 10% Panchagavya-amended potato dextrose agar (PDA), respectively, thereby making Panchagavya suitable for integrated disease management programme against damping-off disease of vegetable crops.…”

Panchagavya, a fermented liquid bio-formulation derived from cow-based products such as dung, urine, milk, curd and ghee, has recently gained importance in agricultural practices due to its reported effectiveness in enhancing vegetable crop production. Its formulation involves a fermentation process that harnesses the diverse microbial communities present in cow-derived substances, resulting in a potent nutrient-rich solution that is believed to possess plant growth-promoting properties. One of the primary mechanisms underlying its efficacy lies in the diverse array of microorganisms present in the formulation. These microorganisms, including beneficial bacteria, fungi and actinomycetes, play crucial roles in nutrient cycling, disease suppression and soil conditioning. Additionally, Panchagavya contains plant growth-promoting substances such as hormones, enzymes, vitamins and amino acids, which contribute to enhanced nutrient uptake, root development and overall plant vigour. Furthermore, application of Panchagavya has been shown to improve soil health by enhancing microbial activity, increasing organic matter content and improving soil properties. These soil improvements not only benefit the current crop but also have long-term positive implications for soil fertility and sustainability. This multifaceted approach to crop management offers a holistic solution to enhance crop productivity while reducing reliance on synthetic inputs. This review aims to comprehensively analyse the literature on the effects of Panchagavya on vegetable crops, highlighting its mechanisms of action and potential benefits for increased vegetable crop production.

“…Onion is preferred for its flavor and pungency, attributed to the presence of the volatile oil "allyl propyl disulphide". Onion bulbs are rich in carbohydrates, protein, vitamin C, phosphorus, and calcium and also possess valuable medicinal properties [4]. It can be consumed as raw, in salads, fried, boiled, or roasted, and is also used to enhance the flavor in soups, canned food products, and other savory dishes.…”

Climate change has brought about unpredictable temperature fluctuations and altered rainfall patterns, which directly impact onion cultivation. Adjustment in planting and harvesting schedules in the context of changing climate and environmental factors is not only academically significant but also holds practical implications for agriculture, resource management, climate adaptation, economic development, and food security in Bangladesh. The present study was carried out to observe the influence of the transplanting and harvesting time on maximizing onion production. The experiment followed a RCB design with three replications, involving the cultivation of BARI Piaz-1 as the test crop with varying transplanting dates on November 1st, November 15th, and December 1st, and harvesting periods at 120, 130, and 140 days after planting (DAP). The study's results indicated that the choice of transplanting date and harvesting period had significantly influenced onion yield and yield attributes. Improved performances, including increase in plant height, number of leaves per plant, neck diameter, bulb diameter, bulb length, bulb weight, and overall yield were observed when onions were transplanted on November 15th and harvested after 130 days from planting. The highest yields, specifically 10.32 t/ha in 2018 and 11.33 /ha in 2019, were achieved under this conditions. Conversely, the lowest yields 6.28 t/ha in 2018 and 6.70 /ha in 2019 were obtained when onions were transplanted on December 1st and harvested after 120 days from planting. Additionaly, early planting (November 1st) exhibited a higher incidence of bolting, while late planting (December 1st) showed a higher disease incidence. Therefore, optimizing transplanting dates to align with November 15th and a 130-day harvesting period proved to be the most effective strategy for maximizing onion yield and other attributes, while late planting and early harvesting adversely affected these key attributes.

Two species of Alternaria were collected from southern Ghors of Jordan, isolated and characterized: A. porii, the causal agent of purple blotch of onion, and A. solani, the causal agent of early blight of tomato. Among planted onion cultivars, Beit Alpha was found to be highly susceptible to purple blotch, and Tebal was highly resistant under field conditions. Morphologically, there were distinct differences in conidia and mycelial growth rates between A. porri and A. solani. Alternaria porii was able to infect tomato and cause severe symptoms on its leaves; however, A. solani was not able to infect onion in vitro. Copper sulfate was the most effective salt in reducing the growth of both species in vitro and completely inhibited their fungal growth.
