Question

Write short notes on Fertilizers and manures in forming.

Answer 1

Manure

Manure is a natural fertilizer. To make manure, decomposition of plants and animal waste is done by farmers. The product of this decomposition is a material rich in organic matter which we call manure. Manure does not have a high content of nutrients. Instead, it gives fertility to the soil by adding humus (organic component of the soil). This improves the soil’s physical properties, with better retention of moisture and more aeration.

And since manure is made entirely of organic materials it does not contribute to any form of pollution. In fact, it reduces waste on the farm, by decomposing waste materials to make manure.

Fertilizers

Fertilizers are natural or synthetic materials that we add to the soil to provide the plants with the nutrients they need. They can be organic or inorganic in nature. They work by providing plants and crops with nutrients they need to grow to their fullest and at a faster rate than attained via a natural process. Chemical-based fertilizers also act as an insecticide, protecting plants from pests and insects.

Fertilizers are economically very beneficial to farmers. They expedite plant growth and are not very expensive to procure. Fertilizers also increase the yield from a farm. The plants also have a superior appearance i.e. they appear greener and healthier when we use fertilizers.

However, fertilizers can also have a harmful effect on the environment. They contain synthetic chemicals which are not biodegradable. They can cause both soil and water pollution. Over time fertilizers also make the soil acidic in nature causing soil degradation. So between manure and fertilizers, fertilizers are a better source of nutrients for the plant, manure is a better alternative as far as the environment is concerned.

Answer 2

menu or contain large quantity of organic matter and also slide small quantity of nutrients to the soil manure is prepared by the decomposition of animal excreta and plant waste manure help in enriching the soil with the nutrient and organic matter and increasing soil fertility.



fertilizer
fertilizer are commercial to reduce plant nutrient fertilizer supplies nitrogen Phosphorus and potassium they are used to ensure good quality vegetative growth giving rise to health plant fertilizer r a factor of higher yield of high cost farming
