Introduction

• Organic manures are valuable by-products of
  farming and allied industries derived from plant
  and animal sources
• They have the advantage of supplying secondary
  and micronutrient along with NPK
• They increase the biological activity in soil and
  help in nutrient cycling
• Improve the soil texture, tilth and aeration,
  increase the water holding capacity, enrich humus
  and thus supplement in small quantities the loss
  of plant nutrients in soil

How are they different from inorganic fertilizers?

• Organic manures are about 20 more expensive than
  their inorganic counterparts. Yet over time they
  are economically more viable
• Organic manures improve the soil health and also
  contain trace nutrients other than the top three
  major nutrients (nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium)
• They release nutrients gradually and last longer
  in soil.

Let us sum up

• Organic manure are derived from living or dead
  organisms and not manufactured through chemicals
• Organic manures provide the best nutrients and
  minerals for a healthy crop because they are
  naturally occurring
• They provide almost all the nutrients therefore
  the performance of crop becomes better
• Improve soil health that is helpful for
  sustainable production
• Organic manures release nutrients slowly, for
  longer period and leaching losses are less
