Abstract
Gunapasalem, an organic foliar spray rich in protein, amino acid and humic acid is prepared from marine fish waste available in the market at a very economical price. Jaggery and non-chlorinated water are added to it to enhance fermentation and solubilizing complex molecules to simpler ones to ease plant assimilation. The role of Gunapasalem in the growth of Abelmoschus spin comparison with chemical fertilizers that are widely used at present by the farmers are studied and articulated through this study. This experimental study also explains the benefits of organic farming as a method to sustain soil and environmental safety.
