Manure is added to soil when soil is too acidic.
Explanation:
- Manure supplies plants instantly with nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and other nutrients by warming the soil, which speeds up decomposition, and lowers the soil's acidity level, or pH, less than chemical fertilizers.
- As the soil absorbs manure, nutrients are released. Adding manure to compacted soil helps loosen the soil.
- Manure produces increased soil carbon, which is an important source of energy that makes nutrients available to plants.
- Other benefits of manure include reduced runoff and leaching of nitrates in the soil.
