Abstract

This paper aims to devise an alternative low-cost optimized solution of using urine as a fertilizer. Urine bio-waste from humans and livestock has unrealized potential and can increase the yield of crops if used correctly. For Triticum aestivum (Common wheat), 30% of urine can be potent in promoting growth. A comparative assessment was conducted to validate the applicability of the proposed method. Several plant growth parameters like chlorophyll content, average leaf length, and percentage germination were evaluated to reach the optimized urine dosage for enhanced plant growth. The study also provides a schematic model for an economically feasible waste collection system that can treat the urine and produce easy-to-use fertilizer using the proposed method.
