Hey dear here is your answer
Definition of Manure:
Manure can be described as a natural substance, derived from the decomposition of animal dung or crop residue. To prepare manure, farmers dump waste of plants and animals in pits at open areas, for decomposing it, with the help of micro-organisms. The matter so obtained after decomposition is called organic manure. It is rich in organic material but contains little amount of plant nutrient.
Manure is considered very helpful in increasing the fertility of the soil, by enhancing its capacity to retain water, by improving the texture of the soil, and by increasing the number of friendly microbes. Moreover, manure makes the soil porous, that facilitates the exchange of gases.
Definition of Fertilizer:
As it is evident from the name, fertilizer is a natural or synthetic substance that contains a lot of plant nutrients which are necessary for the growth and productivity of the plants. It is applied to the soil to increase the yield of crops, like wheat, maize, paddy, etc.
There are two types of fertilizers, i.e. organic fertilizer and synthetic fertilizer. Organic fertilizers are the ones made up of natural material like composted plant materials, peat moss, bone, seaweed etc. Synthetic fertilizers are the inorganic ones that are industrially manufactured chemicals, which easily dissolve in water and are used by plants instantly as they are added to the soil.
Fertilizer not only improves the fertility of soil but also replaces the chemical substances used by earlier crops from the soil. However, excessive use of synthetic fertilizer can harm the effectiveness of soil.
Examples of fertilizer are urea, superphosphate, potash, NPK (Nitrogen, Phosphorous, Potassium) etc.
The difference between MANURE and FERTILISER:-
Manure can be described as an organic material prepared by decomposition of crop residue or animal excreta, that can be added to the soil to improve its fertility. Unlike, fertilizer is described as any substance (organic or inorganic), that is added to the soil, increase the yield of crops.The manure is prepared in the field, by dumping the animal and plant waste in open pits, to decompose it. Conversely, fertilizers are produced in factories through the chemical procedure.As manure is generated out of the decayed plant and animal waste, it provides humus to the soil, which increases the water holding capacity of the soil. Unlike, fertilizer does not provide humus to the soil.Manure is not as much rich as fertilizers in terms of plant nutrients, as fertilizers are rich in plant nutrients.As manure is insoluble in water, it is slowly absorbed by the soil. On the other hand, fertilizers get easily dissolved in water, and that is why it is used by the plants immediately.While manure is economical, as it can be prepared by farmers themselves, fertilizers are industrially manufactured chemical; it is costly.Manure does not cause any harm to the soil; in fact, it raises the quality of the soil in the long run. In contrast, use of fertilizer in excess can decrease the effectiveness of the soil, as well as it causes harm to the organism present in the soil.

Difference between Organic Manures and Fertilizers. The term natural or organic manure is generally used for nutrients from natural sources and fertilizers are nutrients from artificial sources. Organic manures include excreta of animals, animal matter such as blood, bones, flesh, horn etc. and decomposed vegetation.
