HORTICULTURE

Detailed explanation-1: -Manure is better than fertiliser. Manure is derived naturally and adds a lot more than just nutrients to the soil. They increase the activity of the microbes in the soil and increase its fertility.

Detailed explanation-2: -Phosphorus Uptake by Plant Roots Plant roots absorb phosphorus from the soil solution. In comparison to other macronutrients, the phosphorus concentration in the soil solution is much lower and ranges from 0.001 mg/L to 1 mg/L (Brady and Weil, 2002).

Detailed explanation-3: -Manure is an organic substance that is obtained from decomposition of vegetables and animal waste. Fertilizers are inorganic substances manufactured in factories. Manures are relatively less rich in plant nutrients, they only remove general deficiency of soil.

Detailed explanation-4: -Manure provides a lot of organic matter to the soil. It is slowly absorbed by the plants. Fertilizer does not provide any humus to the soil. It is quickly absorbed by the plants.
