Differences between fertilisers and manure:
Fertiliser | Manure |
Fertilisers are commercially available plant nutrients. | Manure is a natural substance prepared by the decomposition of animal excreta and plant wastes. |
They can be organic or inorganic in nature. | Manure is known to have a large quantity of organic materials and very little amount of plant nutrients. |
They ensure healthy growth and development of plants by providing them with nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, etc. | They help in enriching the soil with organic matter and nutrients. |
The addition of fertilisers to the soil requires special guidelines such as dose time, post addition precautions, etc., to be followed. | The addition of manure does not require any special guidelines. |
A fertiliser does not provide any humus to the soil. | Manure provides humus to the soil and increases soil fertility. |
Its excessive use causes water pollution. It cannot replenish organic matter of soil. | It protects the environment and helps in recycling farm waste. |

The Kharif crop is the autumn harvest (also known as the summer or monsoon crop). Kharif crops are usually sown with the beginning of the first rains in July, during the south-west monsoon season. The term Kharif means autumn.
| Rabi is a summer crop, while kharif is a rainy season crop. The Rabi season crop is of a relatively shorter duration time and hence more fertilizers (inorganic) are used in comparison |
Kharif season is about 150 -160 days (June to November) | Rabi season is for about 120- 135 days from December to April next yr) |
yield in Rabi is higher | yield in kharif is comparatively lower. |
