STUDY ON EGGSHELL AND FRUIT PEELS AS A FERTILIZER
Main Article Content
Abstract
Repetitive use of soil for farming losses its nutrients. Fertilizer is organic material added to soil to supply essential nutrients to the growth of the plant. The present study deals with the utilization of eggshell and fruit peels for effective growth of the plant. By experimenting eggshell and fruit peels formulation for assessment of pH, we can regulate the amount of eggshell powder, sweet lime powder and banana peel powder required for a particular soil. The aim of this paper is to study and analyze the carbon (C), nitrogen (N) and hydrogen (H) content from eggshell powder and fruit peels using CHNS Analyzer. The final result of this study showed that Sweet lime peel powder has a higher percentage of nitrogen (1.197% in 2.114 mg) and carbon (38.053% in 2.114 mg) whereas Banana peel powder has a higher percentage of hydrogen (6.153% in 2.256 mg) compare to remaining samples. This experimental study proves that eggshell powder and Fruit peel powder can be used as fertilizer with no cost bearing as this eggshell and fruit peels are collected from household waste
