Preeti Rawat

Abstract

Abundant use of chemical fertilizers has attracted the attention of everyone in across the globe as theuse of inorganic fertilizers is leading to depletion of the valuable nutrients and microbial flora from thesoil and also causing many environmental hazards. To overcome this environmental hazard and protectsoil, biofertilizers provide the promising solution to the problem. Everyone is fascinated with the wordorganic and prefers organically produced products. The organic products are produced with the helpof biofertilizers. These biological fertilizers are produced by the number of methods using variety ofraw material. In this paper, authors have tried to produce biofertilizer using waste fruit peels. Thebiological fertilizer made from fruit peel restrain different properties like antioxidative, antiinflammatory,antimicrobial, nutraceutical, polyphenolic, and many more. The fruit scarps helps inincreasing the nutrient level of soil and as well as manage waste also. The fertilizer produced from thewaste fruit material maintains nutrient pool in soil.
