Effects of kitchen waste biofertilizer on growth and development of Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) crop

Abstract

The growth and development of Wheat (Triticum aestivum Linn.) plant has been studied using
self-prepared kitchen waste biofertilizer. The experimental plants which were grown using the
biofertilizer prepared using the kitchen biodegradable wastes 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 than the traditional chemical fertilizers.
