Explain how fertilisers are different from manure .

✓

Answer

Manure	Fertiliser
Manure is a natural substance obtained by the decomposition of animal wastes like cow dung, human waste and plant residues.	Fertiliser is a man-made inorganic salt which contains necessary plant nutrients.
Manure is relatively less rich in plant nutrients.	Fertiliser contains a rich amount of nutrients like nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium in concentrated form.
Manures are prepared in the field by decomposing wastes.	Fertilisers are prepared in the factories
Manure provides humus to the soil in large amount.	Fertiliser does not provide any humus to the soil.
Manures are not soluble in soil, therefore absorbed by plants at a very slow rate.	Fertilisers are highly soluble in water and readily absorbed by the plants.
