Question

How are organic fertilizers different from chemical fertilisers?

Answer 1

Sr. No.	Organic fertilizers	Chemical fertilisers
1	Natural organic fertilisers are made from plants, animals, and living things.	They are chemical.
2.	They release their nutrients over a longer period than synthetic fertilisers.	Synthetic fertilisers are rapidly absorbed by plant roots.
3.	Assing organic matter is important for feeding the soil.	They help the plant to grow, but they do nothing for the soil.
4.	Organic matter in organic fertiliser promotes an environment conducive for earthworms and increases the capacity of holding water and nutrients. This makes the soil healthy and retains the soil quality.	The use of chemical fertiliser leaves the soil depleted and devoid of life.
5.	Organic fertilisers are broad spectrum containing at least twenty nutrients.	They can supply three to five nutrients only.
