As the world grapples with the challenges of sustainable development, it is crucial to address the environmental impacts of various industries. We at Aloe Ecell are working to solve the problems caused by single used hazardous dry cell batteries. Sustainable agriculture, in particular, calls for innovative solutions that minimize resource consumption and waste generation. This article highlights the need for recycling single-use primary batteries in the context of sustainable agriculture. It also showcases the efforts of Aloe Ecell, a pioneering company committed to making a better battery world.

Micronutrient deficiencies in soils of India have been reported as a significant hindrance to crop productivity, particularly in the semi-arid regions. In this study, we evaluated the efficacy of recycled liquid manganese (2.11% Mn) obtained from dry cell batteries on the growth and yield of wheat plants. Two application methods, foliar application and seed priming, were tested with varying concentrations. Under foliar application, three concentrations were used (0.5%, 0.75%, and 1%), while under seed priming, two concentrations were used (0.05M and 0.1M) combined with different foliar applications. The pot trials showed a significant increase in the yield of wheat with foliar application of manganese. The best results were obtained with 0.75% and 0.5% foliar application, showing early booting and a higher number of plants per 10 cm2. Germination rates were higher in the 0.05M concentration, which combined with 0.75% foliar application, showed the best results. Additionally, resistance to various soil-borne diseases was observed, and the tests were conducted under water stress conditions. Our findings suggest that recycled manganese from dry cell batteries can be an effective and sustainable solution to improve crop yield in regions with micronutrient-deficient soils.
