Answers
heya mate!
Fertilisers..
Inorganic chemical substances rich in plant nutrients..
They are prepared in factories..
Do not provide humus to the soil..
Increases crop production but leads to soil and water pollution..
Manures..
Natural organic substances obtained by decomposition of plant residues, animal and plant wastes..
They are prepared in fields..
Provide humus to the soil..
Not harmful but may not help in removing specific nutrient deficiencies..
They increase the water holding capacity of the soil, improve soil texture, and makes soil porous which facilitates gaseous exchange..
They are quite bulky and difficult to transfer..
Hope it helps mate..!

Manure contains many organic substances of biological origin which can be easily degraded and observed by plants.
It helps in recycling of biological waste. Manure increase the fertility of soil for long duration without causing any harm.
However, the chemical fertilizers improve soil fertility for short duration but cause environmental hazard.
Continuous use of fertilizers in a particular area or crop field causes destruction of soil fertility.
