Question

Give some differences between fertilizers and manure.

Answer 1

Hint: Both fertilizers and manure are added to the soil to increase its nutritional value. It assists the plant to grow in spite of the environmental condition. One of them is harmful if used excessively while the other is natural.

Complete Answer:

FERTILIZERS	MANURE
Fertilizers are chemical substances applied to the plant-soil or on the plant or in the soil, to enhance the quality of the soil.	Manure is the organic matter from dead remains of plants and animals that increase the fertility of the soil.
They can have a side effect on the growing crop and can deteriorate the quality of the plant’s fruit.	They are natural substances therefore they do not have any side effects.
This way chemicals are inorganic substances that are added to the plant stem or plant body which makes it easy for the plant parts to grow.	Manure is a mixture of cattle dung, substances from dead remains of plants and animals, waste leaves, and other stuff. These assist the efficient growth of the plant

On the other hand, Both manure and fertilizers are added to the growing plants that increase the growth of plants but fertilizers are chemical or inorganic substances.

Additional information:
1. Manure is made up of green waste or compost which enhances the quality of the soil. It includes dead remains of plants, animals, or microbes.
2. Manure is of three types compost, farmyard, and green manure
3. Alpaca and poultry manure are the most used natural manures.
4. There are many types of fertilizers such as nitrogen, phosphorus, calcium or magnesium, etc.
5. Be it fertilizer or manure, both increase the fertility of the soil and enhance the growth and development of the plant in a particular type of soil.

Note:
It is naturally done in nature by mixing dead remains of plants and animals with the soil, it happens in nature as a cycle. The dead remains and dung of plants and animals may help in increasing the nutritional value. When the seed is sown in the soil those nutrients help the seed to grow fully to its maturity, thus this cycle goes on and forms a self-sustained system.
