Biofertilizer produced by biodegradable kitchen wastes and leaves of certain medicinal plants provide pathogen resistance to crop plants with high yield

摘要

The biofertilizer has been prepared from biodegradable kitchen wastes by the use of microbial culture and at the final stage dried and finely powdered leaves of Lawsonia inermis, Boerhaavia diffusa, Cordia myxa, Flacourtia jungomas and Terminalia arjuna were thoroughly mixed. The development and flowering of crop plants have been studied using this biofertilizer mixture. The experimental plants which were grown, using this manure, excelled on all the parameters tested (rate of seed germination, root- shoot ratio, chlorophyll contents in leaves and Nitrate Reductase activity) in comparison to traditional chemical fertilizers and therefore, the prepared biofertilizer has been found to be more effective nutrient supplier with increase rate of secondary metabolites and defence enhancer than the traditional chemical fertilizers without any toxic effect.
