An evaluation of the fertilizing properties of a fish waste produce
A fish waste product from a vitamin oil extraction process was tested to ascertain its value as a fertilizer. In order to obtain an evaluation, comparisons were made with three other well known fertilizers. In both Lettuce and Carrot crops, under field conditions, the fish waste proved as good as dr...
