Experimental Investigation Into Home Based Biodegradable Material As A Fertilizer Source

This project aims to investigate the functional group of hand-made Blackstrap Molasses Fertilizer using Blackstrap Molasses, Epsom Salt, and food wastes. The product was modified to enhance existing fertilizers in terms of environment, time, and cost. Several procedures were carried out started with...

The product was modified to enhance existing fertilizers in terms of environment, time, and cost. Several procedures were carried out started with a collection of food wastes, boiling food wastes with water until the food wastes were fully composted, cooling the food wastes and mixing with additives ingredients (Blackstrap Molasses and Epsom Salt).

Amines, phosphorus, and urea are components that are important for plant growth development as these components are based on nitrogen and carbon elements.
