Effectiveness of Mango Leaves as

fertilizer

 Sanado,J,Auverry,N.(2019) stated that the use of chemical fertilizers can lead to soil acidification,
resulting in reduced crop yields because of a decrease in organic matter in the soil. Too much utilization
of chemical fertilizer can a of Abelmoschusso result in decreased growth, defoliation, wilting and plant
death in extreme cases. Hence, much study is needed on organic fertilizer. The main purpose of this
study was to determine the effects of foliar application of liquid fertilizer from Mangiferaindica
(mango), Musaacuminata balbisiana (banana) and Citrus maxima (pomelo) peelings in the growth of
Abelmoschus esculentus (lady fingers).
 Friends,(2008) that this study investigated the effects of foliar application of liquid fertilizer from fruit
peelings on the growth of Abelmoschus esculentus (lady fingers). Results showed no significant
difference in height, area of leaves, number of leaves, branches, fresh weight and dry weight.
Researchers have considered using fruit peels as an alternative to common fertilizers, but there is still a
lack of study regarding the utilization of mango peels as fertilizers. Previous studies have confirmed that
mango peels are suitable, but there is still a lack of study regarding the utilization of mango peels as
fertilizers.
 Farirah, U, (2019) stated that Pakcoy (Brassica rapa war. Chinensis) is a
popular vegetable in Indonesia due to its high vitamin A and vitamin E
content. It also contains calcium, phosphorus, iron and vitamins, which
are important for health. Organic planting systems such as hydroponics
are expensive and hard to afford for farmers with limited financial
resources. To reduce the costs of organic plants, organic liquid fertilizer
made from Moringa leaves (Moringa oliefera) and rice washing water
waste can be used. Fertilizer is made by fermentation, with the largest
mineral and cytokinin content being in the leaves. Moringa leaves
(Moringo oliefera) are cleaned and mashed, added with rice washing
water and an ingredient to speed up the decomposition process. After
two weeks, the mixture changes shape, color and aroma to brown water,
which can be used as organic water fertilizer on hydroponic Morings
leaves and rice wash water. Results show increased leaf width, length,
number of leaves and weight per sample.
 This research aims to provide an environmentally friendly and
affordable fertilizer that provides more nutrients to plants and ensures
soil fertility. It concludes that ground mango (Mangifera Indica) leaves
as an alternative fertilizer to pechay (Brassica Rapa Pekinensis) is very
effective in terms of height, leaves, color, time, germination, and
number of leaves.

 Mango leaves have been traditionally used as a natural fertilizer due to their high nutrient content. They
are rich in minerals such as nitrogen, potassium, phosphorus, and calcium, which are essential for plant
growth. The effectiveness of mango leaves as a fertilizer can depend on several factors, such as the type of
soil, the plant species, and the amount of leaves used as fertilizer. Some studies have shown that mango
leaves can improve soil fertility and plant growth when used as a natural fertilizer. In general, mango
leaves can be used as a green manure by incorporating them into the soil before planting or by using them
as a mulch to cover the soil around plants. Mango leaves can also be used to make a liquid fertilizer by

there are several advantages of using mango leaves as a fertilizer:
1. Nutrient-rich: Mango leaves contain high levels of essential nutrients such as nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, and calcium, which are important for plant growth and development. When used as a fertilizer, mango
leaves can help replenish these nutrients in the soil, promoting healthy plant growth.
2. Cost-effective: Mango leaves are a readily available and inexpensive source of organic fertilizer. Using mango leaves as a fertilizer can be a cost-effective alternative to synthetic fertilizers, which can be expensive and may
have negative environmental impacts.
3. Eco-friendly: Mango leaves are a natural and eco-friendly fertilizer option. Unlike synthetic fertilizers, which can contribute to soil and water pollution, mango leaves are biodegradable and do not harm the environment.
4. Improves soil structure: Mango leaves can improve soil structure and texture, making it easier for water and air to penetrate the soil. This can help create a healthy and fertile environment for plants to grow.
5. Pest control: Mango leaves contain compounds that can help repel pests and insects. Using mango leaves as a mulch or incorporating them into the soil can help deter pests and reduce the need for chemical pesticides.
