In the light of heavy demand of electricity, consistently developing environmental pollution and substantial demand of power, the country with monstrous population living in towns having scarcity of power have driven the world to think genuinely for research in the areas which focuses and utilizes the human power as a source of energy. A couple of authors of this paper have already discovered a pedal operated human powered flywheel motor (HPFM) as a source of energy for various applications. In this paper an endeavor is made to create and tentatively validate human powered nursery fertilizer mixing machine to mix nursery compost in proper degree which is then used as a fertilizer in small size farming. This paper reports the development of model through dimensional and regression analysis for response variable resistive torque in the phenomena of mixing of various ingredients of fertilizers. Dimensional analysis is utilized to make the dependent and independent variables dimensionless to get dimensionless equation. Afterward, by applying multiple regression analysis to this dimensionless equation, index values are obtained. The mathematical model for resistive torque is then formulated using these obtained index values
