Benefits of using Organic Fertilizers or Manure

Biofertilizers are fertilizers derived from animal matter, animal feces (manure), human excreta, and vegetable matter (such as manure and crop residues). Naturally organic fertilizers include animal waste from meat processing, peat, manure, slurry, and guano.

Benefits of using organic fertilizers or compost

1. The use of organic fertilizers increases the organic level of the soil, thereby increasing the number of beneficial bacteria and making the soil very fertile.
2. Biofertilizers provide essential minerals for plant growth, which are available to the plants through the micro-organisms present in the soil, which keeps the plants healthy and increases production.
3. Compared to chemical fertilizers, organic manure is cheaper, sustainable, and easier to make. Improves the fertile condition of the soil.
4. For the growth of plants, adequate nutrients like nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium are required and a sufficient amount of nutrients can be met by the use of organic fertilizers.
5. Pest, disease, and weed control are largely controlled by crop rotation, natural enemies of pests, resistance varieties, and organic products.
6. Biofertilizers give organic acid on decomposition, which converts the insoluble element of the soil into a soluble element, and reduces the pH value of soil below 7. Therefore, the availability of micronutrients increases with it. This element is essential in crop production.
7. The use of these fertilizers gives nutrients to the plants for a sufficient period of time. This compost leaves its residual properties in the soil. Therefore, the use of these fertilizers in one crop benefits another crop. This helps in maintaining the balance of soil fertility.
