The sustainability and feasibility of utilizing banana by-products are the future
prospects and challenges for directing these by-products such as peels, leaves,
pseudo stem, stalk. bananas are rich in minerals including potassium, phosphorus,
calcium, and others. Potassium is the most important element that is used as
fertilizer. It is essential for promoting general plant vigor, build up, and resistance to
pest and disease; necessary to help fruit grow; involved in regulating around50
enzymes in a plant; and literally hang onto tree trunks in nature and vertical
vegetables (DIY Fertilizers 2012).The signs of potassium deficiency in plants can be
seen as the older leaves have brown veins. Potassium content inbanana peels is
about 200 mg of the fruits or 40%. Using banana peels in the garden provides
nutrients that plants need to thrive, and it acts also as a pest repellent (Haider 2013;
Hulbert 2014).

The present study deals with the utilization of fruit peels for the effective growth of
plants and higher yield, by mainly focussing on Nitrogen, Phosphorous and
Potassium. Different fruit peels such as Pomegranate, Orange, Sweet lime and
Banana were used. These fruit peels have nutrients like potash, iron, zinc, calcium,
citrate content etc. There are two types of fruit peel powder like a) citrate peel
powder which consists of orange, sweet lime and pomegranate peel and b) alkaline
peel powder consisting of banana peel. Both type of peel powder have different pH.
Generally alkaline peel powder is used for reducing acidity content present in soil.
Similarly, acidic peel reduces salinity of soil. whereas Alkaline Peel powder has
higher quantity of Phosphorous(4.2 mg/g) and Potassium(2.1 mg/g).

At 42% potassium, banana peels are a fantastic source. They are one of the highest
organic potassium sources, and is loads higher in potassium than even wood ash.
They do not contain nitrogen, which makes using this fertilizer for tomatoes and
peppers a perfect choice because they both have a low nitrogen need. Banana peels
also contain calcium, which helps plants take up more nitrogen, which some
potassium loving plants need. They also contain manganese, which helps with
photosynthesis; sodium, which helps movement of water between cells; and
magnesium and sulfur, both of which are helpful in the formation of chlorophyll.
Here’s the basic recipe: banana peels, quart mason jars, plastic mason jar lids,
water. Add one banana peel to each quart jar.Fill jars with water and seal. Allow to
sit for about a week before using on your potassium loving plants.

The objective of this study was aimed to study the efficacy of fruit peel i.e., banana
and sweet lime peel as natural fertilizers in herbs i.e., coriander and mint, as well as
their effect on plant growth and soil composition. The materials required Treatments
and Experimental designs The fruit peels were washed, dried (shade dried) and
ground to a coarse powder. Backyard composting was used as a method of
composting. 3 formulations and a control were prepared for both coriander and mint.
Formulation 1 comprised of soil containing sweet lime peel, Formulation 2 comprised
of soil containing banana peel and Formulation 3 comprised of a combination of
banana and sweet lime peel in a ratio of 1:1. The powdered peels were mixed with
soil in a ration of 1:10 (50gms of ground fruit peel was mixed to 500gms of soil). The
mixtures were kept in open containers for 15 days and turned manually daily for
proper aeration. Control comprised of soil without any fruit peel. It contained 550gms
of soil which was kept separately in polythene bags to prevent them from drying.
After 15 days the formulations were ready for planting.

The soil normally contain clay, pebbles, root, rock pieces, these soil is sieved by
using 5mm sieve to remove the pebbles, root, rock pieces. The collected soil was
taken separately and filled with many pots. Each pot contains 4 kg of soil. The soil
samples were air-dried, the dried soil was crushed with wooden mortar pestle and
care should be taken to avoid crushing of pebbles, concretions, roots. Collected fruit
peels were washed thoroughly with tap water to remove the unwanted material
including seeds. The washed peels were cut in to small pieces [1-5 cm] and air dried
in sunlight for 20 days. The dried fruit peels were powdered individually, sieved and
stored at room temperature. Different formulation of fruit peel powder was used to
compare the plant growth. Each formulation was mixed with water in different
quantities. 1g of fruit peel powder of pomegranate, orange, sweet lime, banana were
taken in 100 ml of distilled water and mixed thoroughly for the preparation of extract.
Three formulations of fruit peel powder were applied in soil and properly mixed for
uniform distribution. Control and three replications were maintained for each
formulation.

decomposition of banana peelings ... - DOST SciNet-Phil
This study was done to produce organic fertilizer from the decomposition of three
varieties of banana peelings locally known as latundan, bongolan, and amas by
cellulase-producing bacteria from soil. The cellulase-producing bacteria was
cultured and isolated for 18-24 hours. The cultured medium was positive for the
presence of cellulase-producing bacteria. This was indicated by the negative result
for iodine test. Two treatments were used for the decomposition process of the
different banana peelings. Treatment 1 was done by mixing 100g of each variety of
banana peelings with the cultured medium of cellulase-producing bacteria in nine(9)
separate bottles for three replicates. Treatment 2 was done by just palcing 100g of
each variety of banana peelings in another 9 bottles (without cellulase). The mixture
with the cellulase-producing bacteria decomposed faster than without the cellulase-
producing bacteria. T-test was used to interpret the obtained result. The statistical
test showed that there is significant difference between with and without the
cellulase-producing bacteria.
The organic fertilizer produced by the action of the cellulase-producing bacteria
was applied to the varieties of corn plants. Commercial fertilizer was also applied to
the same varieties of corn plants. The growth of the corn plants was measured in
terms of their height. Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) was done using the two-way
classification with significant interaction. Statistical data showed that there is no
significant difference in the average height of the three varieties of corn plants when
different kinds of fertilizers were used. The organic fertilizer produced was
comparable with the commercial fertilizer.
