Question

ertilizers
became accepted by farmers.
There are many types of manure and fertilizer currently being used. Manure is a substance
derived from animals and plants. The most important advantage of using manure is the fact
that they not only supply a wide range of plant nutrients, but also improve the structure of
the soil. It cements together the soil particles to form soil crumbs. The crumb structure is a
desirable condition of cultivated soil. The addition of manure to soil will increase the inorganic
and humus content which helps to prevent soil erosion and loss of plant nutrients when it
rains. The common manure used in farming consists of farmyard manure, compost, blood
meal, bone meal and fish meal.
Unlike manure, fertilizers are inorganic substances which do not improve the structure of
the soil. They only supply extra amounts of nutrients to the growing plants when applied to
the soil. The commercial fertilizers commonly used today can be classified into three major
categories, namely, nitrogen (N), phosphate and potash fertilizers. Besides knowing the type
of fertilizer to use, a farmer also needs to know when to apply the fertilizer and how to apply
it. The fertilizer should be applied at the time when the plants need a particular nutrient most.
The time and method of application will determine how profitably the fertilizers have been
used in farming. Fertilizers which have not been properly applied cannot be absorbed in large
quantities by plant roots. These fertilizers may be washed away by rain or they may kill the
plants. This would mean a definite financial loss for the farmer
