| Abstract | This material gives an introduction to organic fertilizers, focusing on their definition, types, advantages, and disadvantages. Organic fertilizers are derived from natural sources such as animal manure, compost, green manure, and fish meal, and are used to improve soil structure, retain moisture, and enhance nutrient availability to plants. The document highlights both the benefits, such as cost-effectiveness and sustainability, and the drawbacks, including variability in composition and labor intensity. The training emphasizes how agro-dealers can advise farmers on integrating organic fertilizers into their agricultural practices. The manual also encourages understanding the distinction between organic and non-organic fertilizers to guide effective use. | |
