Abstract
Synthetic fertilizers affect soil fertility when used for a long frame of time, negatively influencing human health. Biofertilizer, prevent damage to the natural origin of the soil, adds nutrient to soil and, to some degree, aid in cleaning nature from precipitated chemicals. This paper reviews the various type of biodigesters used in the production of biofertilizers, feedstocks, majorly waste from abattoirs, peels of various fruit, animal dung, human excrete and other agricultural waste. The study found that waste generated and disposed to litter the environment could be potentially harnessed for nontoxic and environmentally friendly fertilizer.
Keywords
