The utilization of fruit and vegetable peels as organic material for composting to produce fertilizer has gained significant attention due to its potential environmental and agricultural benefits. Fruit and vegetable peels, often discarded as waste, contain valuable nutrients such as potassium, phosphorus, and nitrogen, essential for plant growth. This study investigates the composting process using fruit and vegetable peels to develop a nutrient-rich fertilizer. The research focuses on optimizing composting conditions including carbon-to-nitrogen ratio, moisture content, and aeration to enhance the decomposition of fruit peels. The composting process involves microbial activity, where microorganisms break down organic matter into simpler compounds, releasing nutrients that are readily available to plants. The resulting compost is analyzed for nutrient content and compared with conventional fertilizers to evaluate its effectiveness in promoting plant growth. Benefits of fruit peel compost include improved soil structure, water retention capacity, and reduced dependence on synthetic fertilizers, contributing to sustainable agricultural practices. Overall, this abstract provides a brief overview of the potential of fruit and vegetable peel compost as a viable alternative to chemical fertilizers, emphasizing its environmental benefits and agronomic advantages in enhancing soil fertility and plant productivity.
