In the era of globalization, usage of pesticide has increased tremendously to accommodate the need of overgrowing population by agriculture. The pesticide used by most farmers is chemical pesticide. As an alternative for this chemical pesticide, we have come up with the idea of creating a composed organic pesticide. This pesticide is basically made from food waste such as banana peel, rotten tomatoes, and coffee and tea grounds. Normally we will throw all the food waste directly into the trash can and only some use this food waste to convert it into organic pesticide. The food waste can be turned into useful elements required by the plants to grow healthily. Eventually, any type of natural material of pesticide that used to soil or plant tissues to provides nutrients. Natural pesticides are the best for plants compared to chemical ones. Converting food waste into pesticide by composting is the most efficient treatment to produce environmentally safe and agronomically advantageous organic waste amends. Composting can also be a good way to recycle food waste rather than throwing it away. Corga pesticide used well balanced NPK formula. Collected liquid dilute with ratio 1:18 of water. The seed germination was observed after 3 days, and length of plant were measured by ruler. The results show that organic pesticide is highly rich in nutrients and a useful source of organic pesticide. Moreover, this organic pesticide is an economical product and viable for farmers without any environmental impact. Added more green material to compost can speed up the rate of decomposition compared to brown organic material. Besides that, cutting or chopping down food waste into smaller sizes can increase the surface area and this helps bacteria to break down the waste into compost easily. This corga liquid is environmentally friendly and very safe to use for plants and soil.
