Abstract: The current global scenario firmly emphasizes the need to adult eco-friendly agricultural practices for sustainable agriculture. Chemical agriculture has made an adverse impact of the health-care of not only soil but also the beneficial soil microbial communities and the plants cultivated in these soil. This eventually has led to a high demand organic produce by the present day health conscious society and sporadic attempts are being made by farmers all over the world to detoxify. The land by switching over to organic farming dispenses with chemical fertilizers, pesticides, fungicides and herbicides. In India, organic farming was a well-developed and systematized agricultural practice during the past and this "ancient wisdom" obtained through Indian knowledge systems such as Vedas, specify the use of Panchagavya in agriculture. The increasing concern for environmental safety and global demand for pesticide residue free food has evoked keen interest in crop production using eco-friendly products which are easily biodegradable and do not leave any harmful toxic residues besides conserving nature. So it is necessary to use natural products like Panchagavya to produce chemical residue free food crops and hence Panchagavya can play a major role in organic farming.
