Organic fertilizers can be derived from:

Organic fertilizers can be derived from: Correct Answer animal and plant materials

  • Organic manures are natural products used by farmers to provide food (plant nutrients) for crop plants.
  • These are plant and animal wastes that are used as nutrients after decomposition.
  • Organic manures are classified into bulky organic manures and concentrated organic manures depending on the nutrient content in them.

Key Points

Organic Manure

 Characteristics

Animal manure

 
  • Animal manures are the solid, semisolid, and liquid by-products generated by animals grown to produce meat, milk, eggs, and other agricultural products for human use and consumption.
  • It contains urine, dung, wash water, residual milk, and waste feed, dairy manure, poultry litter a mix of manure, water, spilled feed, feathers, and bedding material.

Plant manure

 
  • Plants provide various types of crop residues.
  • When crushed, seeds of oil crops leave behind oil cakes.
  • Non-edible oil cakes are unfit for cattle consumption and can be used as manure.
  • Plant compost is a mass of rotted organic matter made from farm waste like sugarcane trash, paddy straw, weeds and other plants.


Thus, organic fertilizers can be derived from both animal and plant materials.

By studying all following options, select a pair that uses most closely similar reasoning. a. Researchers have looked at the communication between different animals and found that meerkats have a series of alerts and calls that fail into two categories, greetings and alarms. Since we can be sure that this meerkat is not calling as a greeting, we must accept that he is attempting to raise the alarm. b. Farmers must choose between using organic or non-organic fertilisers on their land. Organic fertilisers can produce a lower crop yield and farmers may find it difficult to change to organic methods if they have been using non-organic methods for some time. Farmers should, therefore, consider the longer-term impacts of their decisions. c. Either young persons are getting cleverer each year or examinations are becoming easier for students to pass. Since there is very little evidence from IQ testing and other supposed benchmarks that young persons are more intelligent now than in the past, we must conclude that the examination system is easier for students today than it was in the past. d. Closed wood burning chulhas are a better way to cook your food than open fire chulhas. Closed wood burning chulhas are highly efficient, whereas the open fire of open fire chulhas loses a great deal of heat in the air. More people should, therefore, use closed wood burning chulhas in their homes.

Read the given passage and answer the question that question that follow. Not all farmers in India can afford to buy pesticides and fertilizers for their crops and so the Government gives a subsidy on pesticides and fertilizers to all the Indian farmers.
