Excessive use of chemical fertilizers has let to soil degradation, water pollution and long time harm to ecosystems. As concerns about environmental sustainability grow, there is increasing interest in natural alternatives. This experiment explores the potential of mildly fermented rice water as an eco-friendly fertilizer. while unfermented rice water contains benefical nutrients, its impact may be limited. By adding natural fermenting agents like milk or tempe, fermentation boosts microbial activity and nutrient availability. This study investigates the optimal fermentation period (1-3 days) and evaluatesthe effects on plant health, growth rate and nutrient uptake. Results show that mild fermentation enhances the fitilizing properties of rice water, making it a promising, sustainable althernative to synthethic fertilizers.
