Agriculture today increasingly depends on sustainable practices that boost productivity while reducing reliance on chemical inputs. Bio liquid fertilizers have emerged as environmentally friendly alternatives capable of improving soil health and crop performance. Within this category, seed treatments play a pivotal role in ensuring uniform germination and vigorous early growth. Beejamrit, a traditional cow-based bio liquid formulation, used in natural and zero-budget farming systems has gained attention as a potential low-cost, eco-friendly seed treatment. Despite its widespread traditional use, scientific literature on Beejamrit remains scattered, limited, and largely unstandardized, with key research gaps such as inadequate microbial profiling, absence of standardized preparation, minimal mechanistic studies, and limited evaluation under stress conditions. This review consolidates available knowledge on Beejamrit’s composition, microbiological properties, mechanisms of action, and effects on seed physiology, positioning it as a promising yet underexplored traditional biostimulant for sustainable seed management and low-input agriculture while underscoring the need for rigorous scientific validation.
