Cow Dung for Increasing the Ph of Acidic Soil and Cow Importance from Vedic Scriptures

Now a day‟s pollution is increasing rapidly whether it is related to land or it is related to soil, water and air. This is due to increase in industrial activities in which some industries releases their waste without treating them and ultimately polluting the environment and if these pollutants pollutes the soil than it will be consumed by plants through roots which ultimately affects the members of ecosystem or environment and also due to use of chemical pesticides soil gets polluted and also these pollutants enter the plants through roots and ultimately affects the members of ecosystem and environment. So we have to search for better alternatives for chemical pesticides. Now as soil are polluted so we have to search for treatment which does not pollute the environment but also helpful to change some soil properties. In this research cow dung was used for treatment of polluted soil which was polluted by sulphuric acid. Due to addition of sulphuric acid Ph of soil lowers down but with the addition of cow dung pH of soil increases which is good sign of treatment for soil. The historical importance of Indian Cow from vedic scriptures and her effective utilization of panchgavya (mixture of urine, milk, ghee, curd and dung of Indian Cow) and individual products mentioned in various vedic book like Bhagwat Geeta, Mahabharat,etc were studied which was suggested by the known holly persons who were using cow dung as a medicine ,as a thermal insulator, as a plaster, flooring etc.
