State the differences between manure and fertilizer.
Manure: The term “manure” refers to a natural material that is produced as a byproduct of the decomposition of either animal excrement or agricultural leftovers. In order to produce manure, farmers must first dispose of waste from plants and animals by dumping it in pits located in open places where microorganisms may break it down.
The material that is produced as a result of the decomposition process is referred to as organic manure. It has a high concentration of organic material but only a modest quantity of plant nutrients.
Fertiliser: The word “fertiliser” refers to a chemical, which may be natural or synthetic and it is a substance that includes a significant amount of plant nutrients. Plant nutrients are essential for the development and production of plants. It is worked into the ground in order to boost the production of many crops, including wheat, maize, rice and others. These fertilisers are designed to dissolve quickly in water and provide immediate nutrition to plants when they are applied to the soil.
