Abstract
Human hair waste is a rich proteinaceous raw material, affording rapid ity and ease of processing, in turn providing cost-effective and eco-f riendly bioefficaceous plant tonic. Its periodic spraying enabled 20-2 5% higher chlorophyll content and 50-64% more biomass in wheat seedlin gs and spinach. Its growth promoting effect on lawns, grassy crops and eucalyptus seedlings makes it a potentially useful agro-chemical to e nhance the productivity of food, forestry and feed.
