Question

The organic manure is considered better than fertilisers because

• A. It can be prepared in the factories.
• B. It is less rich in plant nutrient.
• C. It improves the texture of the soil.
• D. It decreases the water holding capacity of the soil.

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

It improves the texture of the soil.

Organic manure contains a high amount of organic matter which increases the capability of the soil to hold water. They are prepared by the decomposition of organic matter by the microbes. They are rich in plant nutrients. They also help to improve the quality and texture of the soil as they form humus, which is hygroscopic. The gaseous exchange takes place easily in this soil which allows the germination and growth of the plants properly.

Thus, the correct answer is option C.
