Potential of Fish-Based Organic Fertilizers to Boost Plant Growth

Abstract

The fish-based organic fertilizer's ability to stimulate plant development. Nutrients including nitrogen, phosphate, and micronutrients can be found in abundance there. It dissolves easily and quickly absorbs up by plants, which makes it a great choice for giving plants a rapid nutritional boost. By developing methods for making organic fertilizer from canned-fish byproducts. Ground concentrated fish organic fertilizer can be made from waste from the canned fish industry, increasing the value of waste in the food processing industry. The process generates an excellent organic fertilizer. The study confirms previous findings that fish waste has potential as a biofertilizer. This study investigates whether fish residue can be processed into an effective biofertilizer. Our research focused on the chemical efficiency of Fish-based Organic Fertilizers (FOF), measuring the pH value, organic carbon concentration, C/N ratio, and levels of essential nutrients. The findings revealed that FOF has a pH value of 5.1, an organic carbon content of 23.79%, and a C/N ratio of 2.43. The biofertilizer contains a high amount of organic matter (41.02%) and total nitrogen (9.76%). Furthermore, it provides total phosphorus and potassium contents of 1.67% and 2.20%, respectively. These results suggest that FOF, being rich in small, decomposed molecules, can serve as a biological stimulant for sustainable agriculture.
