ABSTRACT

The objective of this study is (0 develop a simple and cost-effective method

to produce biofenili zer using agro-wastes Solid stat e fermentation was the method

used to produce such biofertilizer There were 5 types of agro-wastes being used in

this research They were wastes from water melon papaya pineapple citrus orange

and banana The met hod used to plant the vegetable samples were also exp lained in

detail within this report Physical propeJ1y tests were done on the plant samples of 5

weeks of age in order to determine the effectiveness of the biofertilizer The results

of the experiment showed that the plant samples treated with biofertilizer from water

melon papaya and banana wastes bad promising physical characteristics Other tests

such as analyses of pH values and potassium content in the biofertilizers were also

done in this research It was found that water melon biofertilizer had th e highest pH

value (5 15) The banana biofertilizer had the highest content of potassium with a

content of 3932g KlL Thus it was found that agro-wastes from water melon

papaya and banana were suitable to be used to produce biolertilizer using so lid state

fermentation method

ABSTRACT

The objective of this study is (0 develop a simple and cost-effective method

to produce biofenili zer using agro-wastes Solid stat e fermentation was the method

used to produce such biofertilizer There were 5 types of agro-wastes being used in

this research They were wastes from water melon papaya pineapple citrus orange

and banana The met hod used to plant the vegetable samples were also exp lained in

detail within this report Physical propeJ1y tests were done on the plant samples of 5

weeks of age in order to determine the effectiveness of the biofertilizer The results

of the experiment showed that the plant samples treated with biofertilizer from water

melon papaya and banana wastes bad promising physical characteristics Other tests

such as analyses of pH values and potassium content in the biofertilizers were also

done in this research It was found that water melon biofertilizer had th e highest pH

value (5 15) The banana biofertilizer had the highest content of potassium with a

content of 3932g KlL Thus it was found that agro-wastes from water melon

papaya and banana were suitable to be used to produce biolertilizer using so lid state

fermentation method

ABSTRACT

The objective of this study is (0 develop a simple and cost-effective method

to produce biofenili zer using agro-wastes Solid stat e fermentation was the method

used to produce such biofertilizer There were 5 types of agro-wastes being used in

this research They were wastes from water melon papaya pineapple citrus orange

and banana The met hod used to plant the vegetable samples were also exp lained in

detail within this report Physical propeJ1y tests were done on the plant samples of 5

weeks of age in order to determine the effectiveness of the biofertilizer The results

of the experiment showed that the plant samples treated with biofertilizer from water

melon papaya and banana wastes bad promising physical characteristics Other tests

such as analyses of pH values and potassium content in the biofertilizers were also

done in this research It was found that water melon biofertilizer had th e highest pH

value (5 15) The banana biofertilizer had the highest content of potassium with a

content of 3932g KlL Thus it was found that agro-wastes from water melon

papaya and banana were suitable to be used to produce biolertilizer using so lid state

fermentation method

ABSTRACT

The objective of this study is (0 develop a simple and cost-effective method

to produce biofenili zer using agro-wastes Solid stat e fermentation was the method

used to produce such biofertilizer There were 5 types of agro-wastes being used in

this research They were wastes from water melon papaya pineapple citrus orange

and banana The met hod used to plant the vegetable samples were also exp lained in

detail within this report Physical propeJ1y tests were done on the plant samples of 5

weeks of age in order to determine the effectiveness of the biofertilizer The results

of the experiment showed that the plant samples treated with biofertilizer from water

melon papaya and banana wastes bad promising physical characteristics Other tests

such as analyses of pH values and potassium content in the biofertilizers were also

done in this research It was found that water melon biofertilizer had th e highest pH

value (5 15) The banana biofertilizer had the highest content of potassium with a

content of 3932g KlL Thus it was found that agro-wastes from water melon

papaya and banana were suitable to be used to produce biolertilizer using so lid state

fermentation method

Page 7: UTILlZ.A.TION OF AGRO-WASTE TO PRODUCE BIOFERTILIZER

ABSTRACT

The objective of this study is (0 develop a simple and cost-effective method

to produce biofenili zer using agro-wastes Solid stat e fermentation was the method

used to produce such biofertilizer There were 5 types of agro-wastes being used in

this research They were wastes from water melon papaya pineapple citrus orange

and banana The met hod used to plant the vegetable samples were also exp lained in

detail within this report Physical propeJ1y tests were done on the plant samples of 5

weeks of age in order to determine the effectiveness of the biofertilizer The results

of the experiment showed that the plant samples treated with biofertilizer from water

melon papaya and banana wastes bad promising physical characteristics Other tests

such as analyses of pH values and potassium content in the biofertilizers were also

done in this research It was found that water melon biofertilizer had th e highest pH

value (5 15) The banana biofertilizer had the highest content of potassium with a

content of 3932g KlL Thus it was found that agro-wastes from water melon

papaya and banana were suitable to be used to produce biolertilizer using so lid state

fermentation method
