Abstract
Due to unethical methods, market waste (waste of fruits and vegetables) is greatly increasing today. The main challenge with this waste is finding a way to get rid of it without harming the environment. In this study, these wastes can be used to make biofertilizers, which is an alternate and effective usage. Zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZON) catalyze this breakdown process to shorten the time it takes to occur. Chemical precipitation is used to make ZON, and it may be recognized by its distinctive nanostructural properties. This nanoparticle-infused biofertilizer is being evaluated for its effectiveness in strengthening crops. A study was conducted to evaluate the biofertilizer produced in terms of moisture content, pH, total solids, volatile solids, organic matter, electrical conductivity, nitrogen, phosphate, and potassium content. Lady's finger growth at regular intervals is used to measure the effectiveness of biofertilizer in field trials. Analyses using the SEM method revealed that the typical nanoparticle size ranged between 10 and 30 nm and was erratic. The number of blooming days, vegetable size, weight, and branch height were all taken into account to determine the biofertilizer's efficacy at frequent intervals of 15, 30, 45, and 60 days of growth. ZON was found to produce the highest yield when compared to ZON-free controls. A significant increase in plant yield of 30 to 40% was observed when comparing biofertilizer with ZON to biofertilizer without ZON, chemical fertilizer, and soil.
