Human urine is rich in plant nutrient. It contains higher Nitrogen, Phosphorus, and Potassium than animal urine. ...
It can be concluded that the compost with urine gave better quality fertilizer, and gave more complete composting activity, shorten composting time, and higher compost temperatures.
"It (urine) also repels pests such as Aphids which damage vegetable leaves. ... Under normal circumstances, an adult person releases 11 grams of nitrogen/urea, 1gram of phosphorus/super phosphate, 2.5 grams of pottasium in urine. ... Patrick Makhosi, also a soil scientist with Kawanda Agricultural Research Organisation confirms the efficacy of human urine as a fertiliser. He says that applying urine once every week for at least two months will more than double the yield of vegetables. ...
The urine should be diluted with water at a ratio of 1: 9 and applied to the plant, ..."
What’s in urine?
Urine, 95% of which is water, 2.5% of which is urea, and 2.5% of which is a mixture of minerals, salts, hormones, and enzymes, is not a toxic waste product. Urine is a blood byproduct and though it contains some body waste, it is non-toxic. In 1975, Dr. A.H. Free, published his book Urinalysis in Clinical Laboratory Practice, in which he presents a few critical nutrients found in urine:
Alanine, total ..... 38 mg/day
