Improving Soil Quality and Enhancing Quality Production of Vegetables Through Banana Peel

The study focused on the determination of phytonutrients found in Banana Peels as an alternative organic fertilizer which was presented into two objectives of the study. First, was to study the effects of using Banana peel as organic manure on production of tomatoes. Second, was to study the improvement of soil quality by adding Banana peel to the soil. Banana fruit peels are good source of nutrients like potash, calcium, iron, zinc etc. Thus, this project aims to give an in-depth overview of the preparation method of Banana peel-based liquid fertilizer due to their high potassium content on to improve crop yielding and Soil fertility. To prepare the liquid Banana peel based fertilizer is added to the soil and the plant growth is observed. The growth parameters such Root length, Shoot length, Number of leaves, Length and width of leaves also showed enhanced growth. In conclusion, the results revealed that application of organic liquid fertilizer such as Banana peel water enhanced the plant growth and soil fertility
