Answer 2

Explanation:

Manure is actually animal dung that is used to improve the deficiency level of minerals found in the soil. They are used along with the compost. As the soil absorbs it, there is an increase in nutrients and enrichment of the soil. It helps in retaining the moisture level and in loosening the soil.

Fertilizer can be either natural or synthetic manure to supply nutrients for the plant’s growth. Fertilizers can improve the aggregation of soil so that it can hold nutrients and can remain fertile. It improves the microbial activity in the soil also.
