manures and fertilizers should be added to the soil so that the fertility could be maintained.it is also used to give the soil nutrition which is present in less amount and to maintain the health of the crop
To increase the fertility of the soil .
We add them - to increase the minerals and nutrients for the plants to grow in.
Indeed fertilizers help us to increase our yield very much but they have large number of disadvantages .few of them are: 1. Manures increase yield as well make lot of humus 2.contineous use of fertilizers make soil barren.
Manures contains many organic substances of biological origin which can be easily degraded and absorbed by plants.Its helps in recycling of biological waste they increase soil fertility of the soil for long duration without causing any harm.The chemical fertilizers on other hand,improve soil fertility for short duration but cause environmental hazards.Continose use of fertilizers in particular area causes destruction of the soil fertility.
The excessive chemical fertilizers are likely to be washed off the soil by rain, and pollute nearby watercourses, streams and rivers. This pollution can rob the water of oxygen, distress or kill off fish and other water dependant creatures, and increase chocking weed and algae growth. Chemical fertilizers are costly, and may provide good crop growth over the short time, but, unlike natural manures and green crop ploughing, there is not much goodness put back to enhance the quality of the soil.

The substances which are added to the soil in the form of nutrients like animal waste, plant waste for the healthy growth of plants are called manures and fertilizers are compounds which supply a specific nutrient to make the soil fertile.
Controlled contents and releases are reasons why fertilizers can be better than manures. Fertilizers have to comply with application, labeling and proportion requirements. Plant and soil enrichment programs offer pathogen-, pest-, weed-free, slow-release applications that will not be guaranteed by manure (that is not composted).
farmers use a mixture of manures and fertilizers so that the nutrients which cannot be fulfilled by the manures can be fulfilled by the plants and the nutrients which are not in the fertilizers can be fulfilled by the manures ex-NPK [nitrogen, phosphate and potassium] fulfill the nutrients which are not present in the manures

fertilizers
1. the manures enrich the soil with nutrients . 2. the addition of manures reduces soil erosion . 3. they provide food for soil organisms , like soil friendly bacteria .

Yes, it is okay to have organic ingredients. Many gardeners will only use organic manures and fertilizers because they believe that organic ingredients are beneficial to the plants and improve the soil texture.
Fertilizers place nutrients in the soil that are not naturally there. Just keep in mind the difference between fertilizers and soil conditioners. Soil conditioners are items that overall help the soil. So fertilizers are soil conditioners but not all conditioners are fertilizers.
