Question


Which of the following attributes differentiate fertilisers and manure?


Options:
A .   Increase of crop yield
B .   Direct cause of water pollution
C .   Increase water holding capacity of soil
D .   Improvement of soil structure
Answer: Option B
:
B

  Manures are the organic substances obtained by the decomposition of animal excreta and plant waste. Adding manure is a natural way of increasing soil fertility and in turn increasing yield.
  Fertilisers are artificially synthesised inorganic salts which also increase yield. Excessive use of fertilisers kill the micro-organisms present in the soil. They runoff into the nearby water bodies which would result in water pollution.
