A biannual trial on greengram was carried out in agriculture research farm of Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi during cropping year 2020-21 and 2021-22 to assess the consequences of Panchagavya, Jivamruta and fertility levels on health of soil. HUM 16 variety of moong bean was cultivated in sandy clay loam soil. Greengram improves soil fertility through biological nitrogen fixation and addition of root material. The research was carried out in split plot design with 3 main plot treatments (3 levels of RDF) and 4 subplot treatments (fertilizer control, Panchagavya, Panchagavya+ Jivamruta and Jivamruta). At the end of trial, Lowest pH (7.69), highest EC (0.285 dSm^-1), highest SOC (0.503%), highest available N (195.53 kg ha^-1), P (22.67 kg ha^-1), K (207.74 kg ha^-1), DHA (27.96 µg TPF g^-1 soil day^-1), APA (64.97 µg P-NP soil h^-1) was found with Panchagavya treatment (in subplot). And Jivamruta recorded highest SMBC (348.8 µg g^-1 soil). Liquid organic manures like PG and JM can reduce the use of agro-chemicals in greengram and maintain soil health.
