At the core of ZBNF is Jeevamrutham, a fermented mix made from:

• Cow dung
• Cow urine
• Jaggery
• Pulse flour
• Local topsoil
• Water

It is the “starter culture” that activates soil microbes and supports long-term fertility.

How Much Does One Batch Produce?

A standard preparation creates 200 liters of Jeevamrutham.

The Exact Mixing Ratio (Field Standard)

A 200-liter batch — enough for 1–2 acres — is produced using:

• 10 kg cow dung
• 5–10 liters cow urine
• 2 kg jaggery (molasses)
• 2 kg pulse flour (e.g., chickpea flour)
• 1–2 handfuls local topsoil (microbial inoculant)
• Water to complete 200 liters

The ratio can be scaled up or down for any farm size, but the proportions remain constant.
This level of simplicity is intentional — it ensures that a farmer in a remote village has the same access as a farmer near a distribution network.
