Question

Manure helps in all of these, except:

• A. Increasing soil fertility
• B. Increasing soil microflora
• C. Preventing weathering of rocks
• D. Increasing water holding capacity of sandy soil

Answer 1

The correct option is C Preventing weathering of rocks

Manure activity is not related to the prevention of rock weathering. It is used to increase the fertility of the soil. Manure is rich in organic content. It is usually made up of dried leaves, animal and human faeces. It can improve the soil structure so that the soil holds more nutrients and water, and therefore becomes more fertile.
