Can Plants Eat Bones?

Just imagine a situation when plants can eat bones of all dead animals and humans. Can that be  possible????

Saral Baweja and Nishi Paliwal says "Yes". Both school students hailing from New Delhi, presented a research paper titled “Production of Bio Soil-Enhancer by Phosphate Solubilizing action of Bacillus subtills on bones”.

Confused..................................................?

They are on a mission for producing organic fertilizers from bones of dead animals which won’t decompose for many years.

They discovered that a certain kind of bacteria named Bacillus subtills have the ability to convert insoluble phosphorus present in bones into soluble phosphorus, making fertilizer organic in nature which can be easily absorbed by plants.

This Bone meal (a mixture of crushed bones and soil from poultry and livestock industry) used as a slow release fertilizer, can be easily procured from a fertilizer shops.


 The short term goal of increasing plant yield ends up harming environment and soil in long run. But this organic substitute will not do such harm with a produce that is healthier & better.
