         minutes before use ) ( Subs tute 2‐ 2 litres of tender coconut water
         kept in a closed plas c container for 10 days )

         Method of Prepara on:
         Panchagavya has to be prepared in a wide mouth container made of
         mud, concrete or plas c. The container should not be made of any
         metal.  The  first  step  is  to  mix  fresh  cow  dung  and  ghee  in  the
         container. Mix it twice a day for 3 days. On the fourth day, add the
         remaining ingredients to the container. S r the mixture twice a day
         for the next 15 days. On the 19th day, the Panchagavya mixture will
         be ready for use.

         Storing Panchagavya:
         Panchagavya  should  be  kept  in  the  shade  and  be  covered  at  all
          mes.  Care has to  be taken that  no insect  falls in  the  mixture  or
         panchagavya  recipelays  eggs  in  it.  To  prevent  this,  the  container
         should always be covered with a wire mesh or plas c cover.
         Panchagavya  can  be  stored  for  60  days  without  any  effect  to  its
         quality,  provided  that  it  is  kept  in  the  shade  and  is  being  s rred
         twice a day.
         In the event that  the  solu on  thickens over   me, water must  be
         added appropriately.
