Manure and fertilizers are the main sources of
nutrient supply to crops They help to increase soil fertility which
further improves the quality of yield

Manures
are advantageous than fertilizers because of
the following reasons:

It improves soil
texture

It improves water retaining capacity of
soil

Since manure is not nutrient specific so it
replenishes all the nutrients of soil

micro-organisms in soil

It does not cause water
pollution
It does not change the chemical nature of
soil so it does not harm the fertility of
soil

Manures provides the soil with organic matter
which improves water holding capacity in sandy soils and prevents
water logging in clayey soil
