This study presents the development of an innovative organic fertilizer derived from human hair, aimed at enhancing plant health and promoting sustainable agriculture. Human hair, a rich source of keratin and nitrogen, is typically considered waste. By repurposing it into a slow-release fertilizer, we address both waste reduction and nutrient needs of plants. The formulation process includes cleaning, sterilizing, and breaking down the hair into a form accessible for plant uptake. Experimental results show improved soil quality, enhanced root development, and sustained growth in treated plants compared to conventional fertilizers. This eco-friendly solution offers a cost-effective, nutrient-rich alternative for boosting plant vitality while contributing to environmental sustainability.
