Introduction
Bone meal is a b y- product of the meat industry
and is used as an organic fertilizer due to its high
phosphorus content. This study aims to
investigate how bone meal affects plant growth
and if it can be a sustainable alternative to
synthetic fertilizers. The research involves
experiments where varying amounts of bone meal
are added to soil to observe its impact on plant
growth.

RESULT AND DISCUSSION
Recommendations
Future research should concentrate on improving
bone meal formulations, analysing how it interacts
with other soil amendments, and determining how
it affects soil health over the long run.
Environmentally friendly farming systems,
increased soil fertility, and a decreased
dependency on commercial fertilisers can all result
from incorporating bone meal into sustainable
agricultural operations.
