Biofertilizers from wastewater treatment as a potential source of mineral nutrients for growth of amaranth plants

Exploring alternative fertilizers is crucial in agriculture due to the cost and environmental impact of inorganic options. This study investigated the potential of sewage-derived biofertilizers on the growth and physiology of Amaranthus cruentus plants. Various treatments were compared, including co...
