Abstract: Inherent hazardous effects involved in conventional chemical management in agriculture give rise to several ecofriendly innovative approaches. Hazardless of the chemical use, farmers tend towards organic farming. It is well known that organic products contains several nutrients like NPK and micronutrient, amino acid, vitamins and growth regulators like Auxin, Gibberellin which affect the growth of Plants. In Present study Six Bio-pesticides viz. Bio-enhancer, Butter milk, Panchagvya, Beejamrite, Cow urine, and Vermi wash were undertaken to assess their effect as seed treatment and spray at different doses on growth parameters of soybean and chickpea. All bio pesticide as seed dressers exhibited higher germination per cent, chlorophyll content index, vigour index (%), vigour in dry mass, dry weight over control. Among bio pesticides seed treatment with cow urine at 1:10 concentration gave maximum plant height, dry weight and vigour index mass of soybean and chickpea. Treatment cow urine and bio enhancer was found superior and increased chlorophyll content index whereas treatment cow urine and Panchagvya, exhibited higher vigour index per cent. So for as spray, all pesticide as crude form reduced the plant height over control but at 1:10 concentration increased the plant height. Among the bio pesticides, crude cow urine and Panchagvya as crude and 1:10 concentrations were found phytotoxic in chickpea and soybean. However spraying of cow urine at 1:10 concentration exhibited highest plant height, chlorophyll content index, fresh weight and dry weight followed by butter milk (1: 10) and Beejamrite (1: 20) over other treatments and control.
