Metabolic analysis of liquid formulations of organic manures and its influence on growth and yield of Solanum lycopersicum L. (tomato) crop in field

Biochemical and Microbiological Analysis of Different Organic Manures: Their Effect on Germination of Coriandrum sativum (Cilantro) and Solanum melongena (Eggplant)

“…We have tabulated few of the major biochemical pathways based on the identified metabolites (Table 1, Figure 4 -OM 4 and Figures S1-S3 for OM 1-3, respectively). In all cases, we observe that pathways involved in amino acid and nitrogen metabolism were predominate in all OM corroborating with previous finding [2], followed by carbohydrates, vitamins/co-factor, bile salts and quinolone metabolic pathways. In addition to it, we also noticed predominance of pathways involving bile salts and xenobiotics.…”

“…It is thus necessary to tailor OM formulations for different seeds and soil types. efficiently in black soil for Brinjal and perhaps can be generalized for the Solanaceae family, as the previous report was tested on tomato [2]. The germination rate was efficient in red soil as well but one has to further tailor the formulation to enhance seed germination over GA 3 .…”

“…But extensive fertilization using chemicals has decreased soil fertility Hence we have to enrich soil by using organic rich manures that have ability to increasing crop yield, improve soil health and are also comparable to their synthetic counterparts. In one of our earlier publications, we had reported the metabolic profile and the pathways involved in Panchagavya and Jeevamrut [2]. Herein, we have presented data on OM that have been prepared by modifying industrial wastes and can be readily utilized for farming purposes.…”

“…During fermentation, the microflora in animal dung degrade the complex biomolecules in the ingredients of organic manure into a myriad simple organic molecules that can be easily assimilated by the plants for their growth and crop yield. Some of the well-known traditional formulations include -Kunapajala, Panchagavya, and Jeevamruth to name a few [1][2][3][4][5].…”

“…Two very popular formulations in India are liquid organic manure (OM) viz. Panchagavya (Pc) and Jeevamrut (Ja) [1][2][3]. Recently our group, studied the metabolomics of Pc and Ja using non-destructive NMR spectroscopy method and it revealed the presence of vitamins, nucleobases, reducing sugars, amino acids, siderophores, organic acids and several plant growth hormones [2].…”
