A banana is a fruit of a banana plant. It is protected from external influences with a yellow peel that contains a lot of vitamins, minerals and other nutrient substances. Most people throw the peel away, usually in the trash, because they are not aware of the fact that they can put it to good advantage for the preparation of a fluid fertiliser for fertilization of plants.

Purpose:
In this research assignment we wanted to discover if the fertilisers, prepared on a banana peel basis, are effective in the growth of beans.

Methods:
We have performed a growth experiment on 60 bean seedlings, which were formed in five groups. The first group of seedlings was only watered with rainwater (control group) and the rest four groups of seedlings were fertilised with the appropriate fertile.
