Research on the manufacture and the use of organic and inorganic fertilizers and how these affect the environment?

Answer 1

Organic fertilizers are manufactured using only naturally existing elements, while inorganic fertilizers use chemical compounds that contain the same types of minerals and nutrients as organic fertilizers. An organic fertilizer might use fish emulsions to add certain nutrients to the soil, while an inorganic fertilizer might use a man made acid based compound to fulfill the same need as the fish emulsions. Organic fertilizers are often times absorbed much more easily into the environment with little side effects, although any runoff of nutrient rich water can affect a watershed's territory. The main problem with inorganic fertilizers is that they use "steroid" like compounds to maintain faster vegetative and flowering growth cycles.

Answer 2

Inorganic fertilizers normally dissolve quicker when exposed to water than organic fertilizers.

----------------

Organic fertilizer is only a source of nitrogen; chemical manmade fertilizers can offer nitrogen, potassium, phosphorous and other microelements. These fertilizers are stable and can be easily transported at long distances.

Natural fertilizers are insufficient for all the world.

Answer 3

The manufacture and use of inorganic fertilizers involve processes that contribute to greenhouse gas emissions and can lead to soil acidification and nutrient runoff, causing water pollution. Organic fertilizers, such as compost and manure, are less harmful to the environment as they release nutrients slowly and improve soil health. However, improper management of organic fertilizers can also lead to nutrient leaching and contamination of water sources. In general, a balanced approach to fertilizer use, considering environmental impact and soil health, is essential for sustainable agriculture.
