Telangana palm oil farmer earns lakhs of rupees monthly by selling cow-based liquid fertiliser
A palm oil farmer from Telangana, Kasana Chandra Mohan, has been earning lakhs monthly by selling a cow-based liquid fertiliser called Jeevaamrutham to other farmers in his nearby areas.

Chandra Mohan, a native of Maddikonda village in the Aswaraopeta mandal of Bhadradri Kothagudem district, cultivates a palm oil garden on his 80-acre farmland.
The garden faced severe insect infestation due to the excessive use of water and chemical fertilisers to boost production. Seeking solutions, Chandra Mohan consulted various agriculture experts who advised him to protect the garden from insects by using the cow-based liquid fertiliser Jeevaamrutham.
Taking this advice, he constructed a goshala in his farm field and began preparing Jeevaamrutham by mixing cow urine and dung with jaggery and water. He set up two cement tanks to preserve the liquid fertiliser. After nine to 12 days, farmer-friendly insects developed in the Jeevaamrutham. Chandra Mohan then applied the liquid fertiliser to his crops, resulting in significant improvement as the crop became free from insects.
In addition to benefiting his own crops, Chandra Mohan started earning  40,000 to 50,000 monthly by selling the cow-based fertilizer to other farmers at a rate of 3 to 4 per litre.
He stated, "I am achieving a good yield after applying Jeevaamrutham in my farm field. The cow-based fertiliser enhances the soil's fertility, promoting the growth of farmer-friendly insects beneath the land. To encourage chemical-free agriculture in our village at a low cost, I am selling the fertiliser to other farmers in the surrounding areas."
