Science Investigatory Project of Group 7
Background of the Study
Fruits peels of Banana, Orange and other fruits are highly rich in potassium, ion, zinc etc .If these Peel are added in the soil these will become fertilizers. Fertilizers are any organic or inorganic material of natural or synthetic origin that is added to a soil to supply one or more plant nutrients essential to the growth of the plant. Good fertility is fundamental to successful plant growth and the application of fertilizers and manures is an essential graining act activity. The maintenance of adequate levels of nutrients in the soil is essential for healthy plant growth. The present study deals with the utilization fruit peels for the effective growth of plants and higher yield. Different fruit peels such as, Orange pineapple and banana were used.
Scope and Limitations:
This investigation is limited only to prove if orange, banana, and pineapple peelings can help to lower the acidity of soil. The acidity of soil is tested by the litmus paper .this investigation may finish within one week.
Significance of the Study
Orange (citrus sinensis), banana (Musa acuminata) and pineapple (Ananas comosus) peeling possesses special properties that is needed to control the acidity of the soil..These materials will be used a fertilizer and tested its ability to germinate mung beans(vigna radiata).
This study will promote the relevance of farming by using these materials as a fertilizer and as new crop. It encourages households to recycle their orange and banana peelings to compost it in their plots and grow mung beans as an alternative crop. Finally, it inspire people to further study and search for more benefits from fruits, vegetables and other agricultural products.
