Bioremediation of Marigold: Determination of Pigment Extraction and Sustainable Utilization of Residues

Abstract: This research explores the bioremediation of floral waste, specifically marigold residues, into eco-friendly and value-added products such as organic fertilizers, dyes, paints, and carotenoid extracts. The study emphasizes the sustainable transformation of floral waste to address the environmental pollution, enhance agricultural productivity, and promote green industries. Through the innovative production of marigold residue-based organic fertilizers, natural dyes, eco-friendly paints, and carotenoid extracts, this research provides practical solutions for waste management. The presence of key nutrients like Nitrogen, Phosphorus, and Potassium (NPK) in marigold residues, coupled with their use in dyeing, painting, and agrochemicals, underscores the potential for sustainable development and the promotion of green habits.
