Fertilizers are any organic or inorganic material of natural or synthetic origin that is added to soil to supply one or more nutrients essential to plant. Organic farming is the method of cultivation and growing agricultural crops using biological pest control and fertilizers which are derived from animal and plant waste. The method was developed due to fact that chemical fertilizers have negative effect on ecosystem. Hence as an alternative to chemical fertilizer, natural fertilizers can be made from plant waste as these are also rich source of nutrients and minerals. The project aims at making fertilizers as formulation that can be used for growing crops as alternative to chemical fertilizer. The waste such as green pea pods, papaya, jackfruit and onion peels can be used for the purpose of making natural fertilizer. Peels of Onion, Papaya, Jackfruit and Peas were formulated in the form of powder, extract and mixed formulation. Three different concentration of each were applied in soil as a natural fertilizer. Spinach seeds were used to test effect of natural fertilizer on growth of the plant. Plant growth was measured after four weeks of application of fertilizer. In-vitro seed germination was carried out by supplementing fertilizer in the form media in Plant Tissue Culture. This if successfully implemented can also be used as one formulation media for in-vitro propagation of plants. Also, the extracts can be used as one novel media for the growth of industrially important fungi as from the results obtained it supported the growth of fungi.
