Question

Can anyone describe me the difference between manure and fertilizer

Answer 1

Manure is organic matter, mostly derived from animal feces except in the case of green manure, which can be used as organic fertilizer in agriculture. Manures contribute to the fertility of the soil by adding organic matter and nutrients, such as nitrogen, that are trapped by bacteria in the soil.

Fertilizers are materials used to provide plant nutrients which are deficient in soils. Many fertilizers are extracted and purified from natural deposits in the earth.
