Mention 4 advantages of using fertilizer over manures
Chemical fertilizers have many advantages over the manures as given under:
1. Chemical fertilizers have smaller bulk and hence are easy to store, transport and apply.
2. Chemical fertilizers are nutrient specific. Thus for supplying a particular nutrient we can select some specific chemical fertilizer. For example, super phosphate is used in case the soil is deficient in phosphorus.
3. Chemical fertilizers are soluble in water and hence are easily absorbed by plants.
