ABSTRACT
Time and again farmers, plant growers, and backyard owners of vegetable garden have been complaining of rising cost of inorganic fertilizers such as complete and Urea. The result is that they disregard the use of these fertilizers and left their plants without it. In the end, the result is low produce and their plants are malnourished and worst less fruit. This Science Investigatory Project (SIP) entitled “Left-Over Rice: A Cheap and Practical Compost Enhancer for 28-32 days” was conducted in order to answer the problems of the farmers and plant growers. With this project, we used left-over rice from the canteens and from our households. Other materials were vegetable trimmings, fruit peelings like banana in which we got from wet markets. This Project is very useful to the community in general because they can make use of their biodegradable waste into productive use such as compost. On the other hand, compost are cheap and environment friendly organic fertilizers which can make the plants grow healthy as well as the soil fertile. The biodegradable waste such as rice instead of throwing them away can be made useful. In the end, this project will be a solution to the problem on poverty and hunger. The increase in farm output will effect additional income to the farmers. The abundant farm output can solve the problem in hunger. The community as well, can sell this compost, thereby augmenting also their household income.
