1. Which of the following should be used by a farmer with a large farm to harvest
The substances which are added to the soil in the form of nutrients for the healthy
growth of plants are called manure and fertilisers. Soil supplies mineral nutrients
to the crop plants. These nutrients are essential for the growth of plants. In certain
areas, farmers grow crop after crop in the same field. Fertilisers are produced in
factories. Some examples of fertilisers are urea, ammonium sulphate, super phos-
phate, potash, NPK (Nitrogen, Phosphorus, Potassium).The use of fertilisers has
helped farmers to get better yield of crops such as wheat, paddy and maize. But
excessive use of fertilisers has made the soil less fertile.
