Abstract:
Banana peels of Musa sapentium species contains important phytonutrients that are renewable and can be nanotechnologically modified into useful, cheap and resoucefull bio fertilizers. The natural peels were characterized for Proximate and anti-nutritional analysis prior to Physico-chemical characteristics of the banana peel alkaline activated nano fertilizer and image J analysis of SEM result of the alkaline (sodium hydroxide)activated banana peel nano particles. The fertilizer at the nano scale was estimated to be 1660.20± 823.35nm2 in average area and 2739nm as the range between the nano irregular particles.The synthesized nanofertilizers was initiated with 0.5kg of Musa sapentium peels with 1000ml distilled water and alkaline modification with 10g Sodium hydroxide for 30 miuntes at 105oC being stabilized with urea and dispered with citric acid both at the strength of 5% and pH of 5. Banana peels generally should be an excellent and cheap sources of plant macro (NPK),micro and elemental nutrients as compared with the standards from International Center for Soil Fertility and Agricultural Development Alabama, USA.
