Types of Manure

Manure can be divided into green manure, farmyard manure, and compost manure. The various forms of manure that farmers use are as follows:

Green Manure

Using green manure increases the amount of organic matter in the soil. This type of manure has deep roots in the ground. These aid in weed management and the avoidance of soil erosion.

Farmyard Manure

Farmyard manure improves soil texture and is used as a natural fertiliser. It increases the ability of the soil to retain more water and minerals. It also increases mineral delivery and plant nutrition by increasing soil microbial activity.

Compost Manure

It improves soil structure as well as water and nutrient retention. As a result, it increases plant health by increasing nutrient value.

Manures are organic wastes from plants and animals that are applied to crops as fertilizer. As they decompose, they release beneficial nutrients. Based on the density of the nutrients, manures can be divided into bulky organic manures and concentrated organic manures. These are more cost-effective in the long run and are better for the environment. It is a natural resource that can continually be supplied. These organic materials are good for soil health and do not affect the environment.
