Manures and fertilizers are used in fields to improve soil fertility and enhance crop growth by providing essential nutrients.
Reasons for Using Manures and Fertilizers:
- Nutrient Supply – They replenish essential nutrients like nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, which are necessary for plant growth.
- Improved Soil Fertility – Manures enhance the organic content of soil, making it more fertile and productive over time.
- Better Crop Yield – Fertilizers supply specific nutrients in the right amounts, leading to higher crop production.
- Soil Structure Maintenance – Organic manures improve soil texture, water retention, and aeration, promoting healthier plant roots.
- Faster Growth – Chemical fertilizers provide immediate nutrients, boosting plant growth and reducing the time required for crops to mature.
