Question

Why do farmers normally use a mixture of manure and fertilizers in their fields?

Answer 1

Farmers normally use a mixture of manure and fertilizers in their fields to increase the yield and production of crops.

Manure is good for plants as it provides them with organic nutrients but it lacks some important nutrients like nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium.

Along with manure, farmers also use fertilizers such as NPK fertilizers that provide Nitrogen, Phosphorous and Potassium.

So manure fulfill the organic nutrient and fertilizers fulfill the requirement of other important nutrients.
