Abstract
score of 0.9733 demonstrates the model's integrity and reliability. Thus, the RSM approach resulted in a fine grain dark brown Nutri-compost that proved effective in enhancing soil fertility. This procedure is recommended for a scale-up process where large quantities of the hydrophyte could be treated for conversion into Nutri compost.
