Question

Why are manures and fertilizers added to the soil in a farm?

Answer 1

Manures and fertilisers are added to the soil in order to enrich its organic composition and replenish the nutrients in it. The plants absorb most of the nutrients from the soil, leaving the soil deficient of these nutrients. Manures and fertilisers are rich in organic matter and nutrients like nitrogen, potassium and phosphorous. Thus, according to the need of the plants, farmers add manures and fertilisers in the soil.
