Prophylactic use of natural phage cocktail for plants and potential for human applications

Phages targeting specific bacteria have been used for control of bacterial pathogens in plants and humans. We report results prophylactic use a natural cocktail phages on plants. Water was collected from upper reaches the Alaknanda river where more than 200 isolates reported. The water April 2020 before onset monsoons stored with sediments. sprayed twice weekly spinach, cabbage coriander did not isolate, identify or multiply phages. its condition after diluting it to 10 percent normal spring that is irrigation area. Control plots were only. find 47 higher yields 6 40 coriander. Natural Ganga could provide an inexpensive approach improvement plant yields. Implications humans are discussed.
