A field experiment was conducted on organically managed medium black calcareous clayey soil at Junagadh (Gujarat) during rabi 2016-17 and 2017-18 to study the some cow-based bio-enhancers and botanicals for organic cultivation of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). Twelve treatments comprising Panchagavya as foliar spray @ 3% at 30, 45 and 60 DAS, Jivamrut @ 500 L/ha with irrigation at sowing, 30, 45 and 60 DAS, Banana sap as foliar spray @ 1% at 30, 45 and 60 DAS and Seaweed extract as foliar spray @ 3.5% at 30, 45 and 60 DAS were evaluated alone and supplemented with FYM 6 t/ha) in comparison to Vermi compost 4 t/ha + FYM 6 t/ha + Bio fertilizers, FYM 24 t/ha, Control and 100% RDF (outside the organic plot) in randomized block design with three replications. The experiment results revealed that next to 100% RDF, application of FYM 24 t/ha and Panchagavya as foliar spray @ 3% at 30, 45 and 60 DAS + FYM 6 t/ha were found superior in respect of the higher grain yield, straw yield, total uptake of NPK, available NPK, organic carbon and bulk density.
