As the availability of chemical fertilizers has become increasingly popular and cheap, most farmers
question if it is worth it to use organic products. Moreover, since both types work in the same way, it
might give rise to several questions. So, here we will talk about how organic fertilizers are better than
chemical ones.
● The functioning of organic fertilizers is slow. First, the soil breaks them down, implying that both
soil and plants receive the nutrition on time. However, chemical fertilizers often overfeed the
plants, damaging them and doing nothing for the soil.

● Organic fertilizers can improve the soil texture, thus allowing it to sustain water for a long time,
thus increasing the fungal and bacterial activity in the soil. So, not only your plants but also your
soil is benefited out of it.
● Organic fertilizers are safe from the environmental point of view, whereas synthetic ones
require a good amount of fossil fuels to produce and process crops.
So, you now know what to choose while buying fertilizers.
