The higher proportion of α-proteobacteria was observed in 19th day of Panchagavya preparation while 21st Day Panchagavya formulation was found to be dominated by Firmibacteria, β-proteobacteria or Actinobacteria. The presence of unknown/novel microbes were higher in 21st day old Panchagavya on the basis of results of Metagenomic analysis.

a)Panchagavya contained dominant bacteria of nitrogen fixing, phosphate solubilizers and potash mobilizers. Moreover, it showed antagonism towards plant pathogenic fungi like Helminthosporium(47%), A.flavus(45%), A.niger(35%) and Sclerotiumrolfsii(40%) invitro. Elemental composition of Panchagavya showed higher concentration of Fe(158.94ppm), Ca (2789.99ppm), Mg(1553.76 ppm) and Mo(25.50ppm). It also contained N-Methyl-2-pyrrolidinone used as insecticide, herbicide and fungicide. Phenylacetaldehyde is a second major compound found which has very important antibiotic compound.

It also contained important compound 5(6)-EpETrE-EA which has antagonist activity against pathogenic microbes. 17beta-Nitro-5alpha-androstane is theaza-steroid which enhances the germination of plant seed.

c) Liquid organic preparation of Jivamrut has bacteria, fungi, actinomycetes, N- fixers and P-solubilizers and K-mobilizers. Jivamrut inhibited Helminthosporium (40%), A.flavus(30%), A.niger(25%) and Sclerotiumrolfsii(35%), Fusarium oxysporum(35%). Jivamrut contains high concentrationof Fe (115.09 ppm), Ca (1575.78 ppm), Mg (621.57ppm) and Co (88.90ppm). LC-QToF analysis showed Pyropheophorbide is anantioxidant found in Jivamrut.

d) Amrutpani is a good source of micronutrient which includes high concentration of Fe(208.44 ppm), Ca(2276.73 ppm), Mg (1119.15 ppm) and Ti (73.05 ppm). LC-QToF analysis revealed that AdouetineZ is an insecticidal cyclic peptide and (5alpha, 8beta, 9beta)-5,9-Epoxy-3,6-megastigmadien-8-ol is an antioxidant compound found in Amrutpani.

e)Sanjivak has antagonist activity and micronutrient content with important compound like Methyl jasmonate.
