Organic Fertilizer from Shrimp Waste, Tested on Chili

Shrimp processing leaves behind a lot of waste, and most of it is thrown away. This study turned that waste into an organic fertilizer and tested it directly on chili plants, a real crop grown by real farmers, rather than stopping at a lab analysis. It is a practical example of the kind of waste-to-fertilizer pathway we help manufacturers build.
