Question
Give two limitations of using manure.
Advertisements
Solution
Limitations of using manure are as follows:
1. Manures have a low nutrient content and are very bulky. Hence, they are inconvenient to handle, store, and transport.
2. Manures are not nutrient-specific. Hence, they are not much useful when a particular nutrient is required in the soil for a particular crop.
