Manasvi Shinde, a student of class 9th division A at Montfort School, wrote about manure in her biology subject. Her teacher is Shankar sir and the principal is Rev. Bro. Dr. Anthony Reddy. Manure is obtained through the decomposition of plant and animal wastes by microbes and contains nutrients needed by crops. While manures contain small amounts of nutrients, applying large quantities enriches the soil without pollution by improving texture, aeration, water holding and drainage.

2. Manure
• Manures are organic substances
obtained through the decomposition of
plant wastes (like straw) and animal
wastes (like cow dung). The
decomposition is brought about by the
action of microbes.
• Manures contain nutrients in small
quantities and therefore are needed to
be supplied to crops in large quantities.

3. • Manures are recycled and do not
cause pollution.
• They enrich the soil with nutrients.
• Being rich in organic matter,
manures improve soil texture and
soil aeration. Water holding
capacity in case of sandy soils and
drainage in clay soil is increased.
