Advantages of Chemical Fertilizers......
Chemical fertilizers are made with synthetic ingredients designed to stimulate plant growth. Commercial chemical fertilizers have the advantage of predictability and reliability. Formulations are blended with accuracy and you can buy different blends for different types of plants. Commercial chemical fertilizers contain a balanced distribution of the three main essential nutrients needed for optimum plant growth: nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium. Many formulas also contain iron, sulfur and cooper. The amount of the three main ingredients are listed in that order, by percentage, on commercial fertilizer labels as the N-P-K ratio. Percentages of trace minerals are not always listed. Commercial formulated fertilizers allow you to know exactly which nutrients you're giving your plants, rather than guessing at the composition of organic formulas.
Disadvantages of Chemical Fertilizers..........
Commercial chemical fertilizers are more expensive than natural fertilizers. They may contain ingredients that may be toxic to the skin or respiratory system. You also need to mix and measure them accurately. If you use too much, you can kill your plants. Chemical fertilizers can build up in the soil, causing long-term imbalances in soil pH and fertility.

ADVANTAGES
•By utilizing chemical manure, we can replenish the quality of soil easily.
•There can be separate synthetic manure for supplying a suitable variety of nutrients.
•Chemical fertilizers are readily dispersible in water and are readily assimilated by the plants.
•By utilizing chemical fertilizers we can guarantee a good yield.
DISADVANTAGES
•Constant usage of chemical fertilizers diminishes the natural productivity of the soil.
•These chemicals penetrate the food connection through the plants and as a consequence of biomagnification, these chemicals pose a threat to existing creatures that absorb them directly or obliquely.
•The soil is contaminated and its natural condition is diminished.
