Explain how fertilisers are different from manur
Answers
Explanation:
Fertilizers are chemical in nature and these are manufactured in factories. Manure is an inorganic substance that is obtained from decomposition of vegetable and animal wastes. Microbes are not needed for fertilizers formation. Microbes are needed to form manure since they degrade the organic substances.
Explanation:
Manure and fertilizers function in the same way that is adding fertility to the soil. But they are different from each other.
Manures are obtained or prepared from natural sources like kitchen waste, vermicompost, human waste, and by decomposing the biodegradable materials. Manures are environment-friendly and are produced at a low cost. It is cost economical to farmers.
The fertilizers are synthetically and chemically manufactured in the factories and industries. Fertilizers harm the microbes present in the soil which help in nitrogen fixation and other important microbes that are useful to crop. It also decreases the soil fertility if it is prolonged and used for a longer duration. It is not cost economical for farmers.
