Abstract
The growth and development of Wheat (Triticum aestivum, Rice (Oryza sativa) and Maize (Zea mays) plants has been studied using self-prepared kitchen waste biofertilizer. The experimental plants which were grown, using the biofertilizer prepared using the kitchen biodegradable wastes, excelled on all the parameters tested (rate of seed germination, root shoot ratio, chlorophyll contents in leaves and Nitrate Reductase activity) in comparison to traditional chemical fertilizers and therefore, the prepared biofertilizer has been found to be more effective nutrient supplier than the traditional chemical fertilizers.
