Effect of vegetarian Kunapajala on pigments and soluble protein content in rice

Ancient Indian study of plants, known as ‘Vrikshayurveda’, was meticulously organized into 325 Sanskrit slokas and published in a book the same name by Surapala about 1000 years ago with number recommendations for promoting plant development warding off illness. “Kunapajala” is referred here nutrient solution. Kunapajala liquid ferment from animal wastes that contained flesh, dung, urine, bone marrow skin. The fermented product contains essential components such amino acids, sugars, fatty keratins, macro nearly all micronutrients available form. Y.L. Nene formulated special vegetable origin instead raw meat people showed reluctance towards using 40% do not eat meat. As organic farming natural are need hour reduced usage synthetic fertilizers, vegetarian rice to its effect on pigments, soluble protein height. Field experiment conducted during summer 2021 at Wetland farm TNAU Coimbatore RBD three replications variety CO-51. had 10 treatments viz., T1 - Foliar spray water, T2 water + cow urine (9:1), T3 3%, T4 3% T5 Soil application 10%, T6 T7 T8 (9:1) T9 10% soil application, T10 Control (no foliar application). Observations were recorded parameters like chlorophyll a, b, total chlorophyll, carotenoid, height 25, 40 55 DAT (10 days after each spraying). Growth height, carotenoids significantly influenced along urine. Among treatments, plots provided 3 % (T9) produced plants greater (35.07, 55.07 81.25 cm), more content (2.25, 3.09 3.11 mg g⁻¹), b (2.04, 2.81 2.88 (4.28, 5.90 5.99 (3.61, 4.82 4.81 g⁻¹) (11.34, 15.09 18.75 25,40 i.e., ten every respectively followed (3 %) (T7) (T8).
