Answer:

The alternatives of chemical fertilizers that can be used to reduce soil and water prevention are:

Plant-based natural fertilizers:

  • Compost: Organic natural fertilizer produced by composting decomposed plant matter.  
  • Green-Manure cover crops.  
  • Kelp meal: Made from seaweeds .
  • Mulch: Organic fertilizer sourced from old twigs, shredded leaves and other plant parts, hay etc. This prevents soil erosion and increases nutrient absorption by the plants.
  • Cottonseed meal: Cotton byproduct used best for flowering plants, shrubs and vegetables.
  • Molasses: Sugarcane or beet sugar byproduct.
  • Legume cover crops: Like alfalfa, cowpeas, vetch etc., to fix nitrogen in roots.

Animal-based natural fertilizers:

  • Manure: Age-old type of organic fertilizer sourced from livestock animals. These have excellent water-retention qualities
  • Bone meal: Made from grounding dried bones of mostly slaughtered animals.
  • Blood meal: Made from dried blood products.
  • Fish emulsion: Made from fish parts.
