Abstract

In the human diet vegetables and fruits play a major role. It is a healthy part in diet system of our body. There is no single fruit and vegetable will provides all the nutrients in the diet. There is lot of health benefits in consuming fruits and vegetables. There is some fruits and vegetables that can cure some diseases. (Ademollo N,et.al ., 2017). Vegetable waste is a biodegradable material wasted in large amounts which is dumped on the land. It can be emits the foul odor. So the vegetable wastes such as peels, rotten, seeds are used for the fermentation process in many industries to produce alcohol which are used as a solvent system.( AI-Jasser, A.O., 2009).Fruit and vegetable skin are contains many nutrients they are fiber, vitamins, minerals and anti oxidants. But the people eat only the pulp of the fruit. So the peel of the fruits were wasted. Fruit waste is also a bio degradable material which was wasted in large amounts now a days. The fruit wastes such as skin of the fruits and seeds of some plants are used in the format of eco enzyme.(AI-Jasser, A.O, 2009). Eco enzyme is a fermented solution from mixture of brown sugar ,waste and water in the ratio of 1: 3 : 10. Usually the eco enzyme is acidic in nature because the solution in the container will convert carbohydrates into a volatile acids. So the pH of the solution should be  maintained through the acidic condition (C.Arun and P.Sivashanmugam, 2015) Brewed tea leaves make a fabulous fertilizer, both in your garden as well as helping potted plants indoors. The brewed leaves contain high levels of minerals, carbohydrates, and other nutrients that create a rich soil. In this study the eco enzymes are prepared from the vegetable and fruit waste and poured it into a soil to detect the nutrient level. At the same time the waste tea powder is collected then made up into compost and poured in the soil. After that the soil was taken for the experiment and evaluates the value of soil nutrients and then analyzed the plant growth. From the soil sample the best growth of the soil was characterized. The coriander plant was taken for the experiment.
