Question

Raj Thakur and Ram Das were given fertilizers and manure both to use in their field. Ram Das selected to use manure. Why did he not select fertilizers?

Answer 1

Ram Das did not select fertilizers because the continuous use of fertilizers in an area can destroy soil fertility because the organic matter in the soil is not replenished and useful micro organisms in the soil are destroyed by the fertilizers. On the other hand, manure helps in enriching soil with nutrients and organic matter and increasing soil fertility hence he selected manure and not fertilizers.
