Organic fertilizers differ from synthetic fertilizers are generally used in agriculture. Synthetic fertilizers only helps to increase production. Or on the other hand, organic fertilizers not only feeds the plant but also builds a healthy soil for your plant. organic fertilizer makes the soil loose and aerated it is essential to maintain moisture and nutrients in the soil. It is also essential to accelerate the growth of soil organisms and earthworms. Building healthy soil is the key to successful organic gardening.

Organic fertilizers are made from animal and vegetable. These materials must be degraded by micro bacteria for nutrients release of these elements in the soil. This process takes longer. For this reason organic fertilizer works slowly but provides long-term nutrition in the soil.

On the other hand, synthetic fertilizers will be good, if you want a rapid growth of the plant. synthetic fertilizers work fast and help the plant to grow rapidly. In fact, increases the top of the plant, but can not increase the root of the plant as the top portion. For this reason, these plants are weakened. On the other hand destroys the worms and soil organisms that are essential to soil health. The overuse of synthetic fertilizers burn the roots or create the concentration of toxic salts.

no synthetic fertilizers improves soil structure. It is composed of minerals which are responsible for killing soil organisms. As a result, not the formation of decomposition and soil can be produced. Use of chemical fertilizers is responsible for the loss of organic matter and the activity of soil microbiota.
