Abstract

This study aimed to produce lime sulfur broth through a systematized process to reduce energy expenditure, polluting gases into the atmosphere, and waste. The experiment was conducted in 2021. Through a design of experiments, a series of mixtures (sulfur-lime-water) were generated, which were made using control instruments within the process. Optimal mixtures were applied to Persian lime trees as a foliar fertilizer to see their behavior. The process was shown to be sustainable, clean, and cheap, and it generated little waste and has the same impact on trees as the empirical process. The sustainable process reduced polluting gases by 20%, polluting waste by 15%, and production costs by up to 30%.
