Dr. YS Parmar University of Horticulture and Forestry, Nauni, Solan- 173230, Himachal Pradesh, IndiaThe experiment was carried outat Model Farm, Zero Budget Natural Farming (ZBNF) system and the research farm of Entomology, Dr. Y. S. Parmar University of Horticulture and Forestry, Nauni, Solan, Himachal Pradesh (India) during the years 2018-20, to study the biological properties of soil under zero budget natural farming (ZBNF) system, where only indigenous cow urine and dung based on-farm produced formulations viz. Beejamrit, jeevamrit and ghanjeevamrit were used, in comparison to conventional farming (CF) practices with recommended fertilizer and pesticide doses in cauliflower ecosystem. The results indicated that the increased in soil micro-flora (bacteria, fungi and actinomycetes) and enzymes (dehydrogenase, phosphatase and urease) activities were higher in ZBNF than CF system. This study explored new and exciting possibilities for the restoration and promotion of a healthy agro-ecosystem to sustain crop production and enhance soil nutrients carrying capacity.
