Abstract

Utilizing organic fertilizer is essential for supplying nutrient diversity to various plant species, improving the physical and chemical properties of the soil, increasing the soil's water-holding capacity, and boosting microbial activity. Liquid organic fertiliser has all of the components necessary for optimal plant growth, including macro and micro nutrients, microbial biology, and growth regulators. The aim of this study was to produce organic fertilizer from breads and banana peels, to evaluate the effectiveness of the organic fertilizer on growth of Pak Choy (Brassica Rapa Chinensis). The banana peels were collected from Aiman Mall and breads were bought from Taka Cake House. The 100g and 200g of banana peels and breads were fermented in bottles contain 1.5 ml of water for 2 weeks. A Completely Randomized Design (CRD) was used with four replicates as follow: T1: 100g bread/1.5 mL; T2: 200g bread/1.5 mL; T3: 100g banana peel/1.5 mL; T4: 200g banana peel/1.5 ml. The evaluation on the growth and development performance of Pak Choy in relation to plant height, number of leaves, chlorophyll contents and above ground biomass were determined. Pak Choy grown on 100 g bread fertilizer showed higher number of leaves, plant height, chlorophyll contents and above ground biomass than other treatments.
