Abstract

This project aims to investigate the hand-made properties of Blackstrap Molasses Fertilizer using Blackstrap Molasses,Epsom Salt and food waste which is implicated by the results of the study.This fertilizer is a modified product in order to improve the existing fertilizer in terms of environment,time,costing and so on.The fertilizer contains food waste and some additives ingredients which are Blackstrap Molasses and Epsom Salt. Several procedures were carried out started start with collection of food waste,boiling food waste with water until the food waste was crushed,cooling the food waste and mixing with additives ingredients (Blackstrap Molasses and Epsom Salt).Two types of testing used to test the fertilizer,which are plant testing and the Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR).The plant testing produced the plant growth rate and FTIR produced graph data that should be interpreted by referring to the Spectroscopy chart.The results showed that the high content of Amine C-N,Alkene CC,Phosphorus P-H and Urea, NH in the plant affected the degradation of plant growth response.
