ABSTRACT

Vegetable wastes are produced in large quantities in the markets across the world, to make use of this waste and to reduce the pollution they can be used to produce biofertlizers. Since biofertlizers are one of the best tool that is used in the agricultural field, which is applied as a replacement of conventional fertilizers. The nutrients present in the fertilizers were determined and comparative study was undertaken to evaluate the efficiency of produced fertilizers. The different crops like green gram, horse gram and soya bean were grown and bioassay of the plants was performed to compare the efficiency of fertilizers. The main objective of this work is to build a platform that biofertlizers obtained from vegetable waste are better than the conventional fertilizers.

Keywords: Fertilizer, comparison, application, bioassay.
