Abstract
Abstract Fruit peels of Banana Pomegranate Sweet lime and Orange are highly rich in potash ion Zinc etc. Above fruit peels powder were formulated from the trace amounts and gradually increased for the preparation of three formulations as Formulation 1 Formulation 2 and Formulation 3. Three different formulations were applied for plant growth in two methods such as fruit peel powder fruit peel powder extract as a natural fertilizer. Fenugreek seeds were used to test the utilization of fruit peel powder as a natural growth enhancer. After 45 days of application of fertilizer plant growth was measured and the yield of fenugreek vegetables was counted. Among the three formulations of fruit peel powder and fruit peel extract formulation 1 was found more suitable for plant growth. Cheapest and harmless materials were used in the present investigation.
