Assessment of The Impact of Natural Farming Practices on The Biochemical Composition of Mangifera indica L. var. Kesar fruit: A Comprehensive Analysis

Abstract - A field study with Amritjal and Ghanamrit application in mango var. kesar was carried out on 10 years old mango var. kesar trees at Ahmedabad during 2022-23 and 2023-24 seasons. The objective is to study the effect of natural formulations like Amritjal and Ghanamrit on biochemical parameters of the fruits. Amritjal and Ghanamrit are liquid and solid manure respectively with healthy microbial load used in natural farming prepared from cow urine and cow dung. The research addresses the growing reliance on chemical fertilizers in farming, which poses significant risks to environmental health and quality of crop. Results indicates that natural treatments substantially enhance key parameters, such as protein, moisture and vitamin C levels. In contrast conventional method of farming with chemical fertilizers initial benefits in nutrient content but fail to sustain with a time. Overall, the findings of this research highlight the advantages of adopting natural farming practices to improve the quality of mango fruit while promoting sustainable farming methods.
