dc.description.abstractRecycling of discarded fabrics to develop bio-fertilizer and its efficacy assessment Management of discarded fabric has become one of the problems we are facing today. The huge amount of discarded fabric generated mostly by textile mills, manufacturing units, boutique, tailor’s shop and household sectors. Considerable amount of discarded fabric is dumped in open areas and incinerated after removing small percentage for recycling and reuse. This accumulation of discarded fabric from all over the country causes certain serious environmental problems and health hazards. Keeping this in view, the present research was conducted in Udaipur city under the phased manner: Phase-I (Survey): 20 tailor shops / boutiques were selected and questionnaire was designed to find out and collect type of discarded fabric available. Discarded biodegradable fabrics i.e. cotton and silk, available in high amount at tailor shops / boutiques and used for development of bio-fertilizer. Under phase- II (Experimentation): Six treatments (T1C1, T2C2, T3C3, T4S1, T5S2 and T6S3) were taken to standardize decomposing technique for selected discarded fabrics and evaluation of the physico-chemical quality of developed bio-fertilizer. Under this, significantly higher nutrient content and high rating score obtained in standardized cotton bio-fertilizer T3C3 (1:10, discarded cotton fabric: cow dung) and silk bio-fertilizer T5S2 (1:20, discarded silk fabric: cow dung). Eight treatments (T1, T2, T3, T4, T5, T6, T7, and T8) were taken to study the efficacy of developed bio-fertilizer on plant growth. T3C3 and T5S2 bio-fertilizer application gave highest growth of marigold plant and the lowest growth was achieved in control and while slightly lower in Farm Yard Manure (FYM) treatment. For phase III (Awareness generation): 60 rural women were selected and designed pre-post test questionnaire was used to find out the impact of training about developed technology. In pre test, MPSs of the respondents ranged between 50 to 66.66 which indicates average knowledge and in post test, 75 to 95.83 which indicates good to excellent knowledge about developed technology. Hence, it can be concluded that ornamental plants grown using the biofertilizer made from discarded cotton and silk fabric had very good growth rate. Rural women gain good knowledge about developed bio-fertilizer technology. Dr. Sudha Babel Mrs. Jaymala Daveen_US
