different between manure and fertilizer?
Answers
Answer:
Manures:
*Manures are organic substances obtained from dead plants and animal wastes.
*Green manure such as rye grass, fenugreek are cultivated specifically to plough into the soil. *This improves the fertility of the soil.
*Animal manure consists of animal wastes. Compost is a manure obtained by the decomposition
of dead plants and animal waste. It is rich in organic nutrients but not in some important nutrients like nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium.
Fertilizers:
*Fertilizers are human-made chemical substances that contain one or more nutrients essential for
*Plant growth. Mostly used ones are NPK fertilizers rich in nitrogen (N), phosphorous(P) and
potassium(K) salts.
*These are easy to store and handle, soluble in water. Hence can be directly absorbed by the
plants and greatly increase crop yields.
*If over used, fertilizers harm the soil by making it porous. Excess fertilizers get washed into
water bodies and harm aquatic animals.
*Farmers normally use a combination of manures and fertilizers.
