Question

Organic manure is considered better than fertilizers because ___ .

• A. it can be prepared in the fields
• B. it is less rich in plant nutrients
• C. it improves the texture of the soil
• D. it decreases the water holding capacity of the soil

Answer 1

The correct option is C it improves the texture of the soil

Organic manure improves the texture of the soil by not altering the pH of the soil. It has more moisture and organic content. Organic manure is usually derived from animal matter, animal excreta, human excreta, and vegetative matter (e.g. compost and crop residues). As a result, it causes less damage to the environment.
