- Biofertilizer are typically environmentally safe, cheaper and has the capability to recover the nutrient demands of crop. Cyanopith and jiwamrita used as a valuable biofertilizer for environment. The degraded coir pith by cyanobacterium (Oscillatoria annae) is called cyanopith. Jiwamrita is made up of naturally available farm wastes and it is rich in beneficial microbes. Preparation of organic manure from three different particle sizes of cyanopith with jiwamrita enriched the microbial population consequently the existing nutrient has been enhanced in organic manure. Hence, the present study was carried out for the production of organic manure from three different particle sizes of cyanopith with jiwamrita and to analyse the microbial population present in the organic manure. Conclude that the application of cyanopith with jiwamrita enhanced both the composting process as well as microbial population. Also the aqueous extracts of 3rd particle size organic manure enhanced the percentage of seed germination, radicle length and biochemical parameters of Trigonella foenum graecum.
