Abstract: The invention relates to a biodegradable agricultural sheet made from a blend of water hyacinth, rice straw, and castor plant residues. This sheet provides a sustainable solution to improve soil fertility by gradually releasing essential nutrients, such as nitrogen, as it decomposes. The materials are processed, blended in a specific ratio, pressed into flexible sheets, and dried for stability. When applied to the soil, the sheet enhances soil structure, aeration, and water retention, promoting healthier crop growth. This innovation addresses environmental challenges by repurposing invasive water hyacinth and agricultural waste, reducing the need for synthetic fertilizers, and supporting sustainable farming practices while minimizing environmental impact.
