Jeevamrutha is a natural liquid fertilizer.[citation needed] It is made by mixing water, dung (in the form of manure) and urine from cows with some mud from the same area where the manure would be applied. Food is then added to speed up the growth of microbes: jaggery or flour can be used.[according to whom?]

Jeevamrutha has been used by Indian farmers for centuries, falling out of use for some time[clarification needed] before being revived in the 2000s.
