Fertilizers are the protein supplements for your plants. Fertilizers are used to enrich the soil with nutrients that it does not inherently have. Fertilizers should be used strictly as a deficiency-buster. Excessive use of different types of fertilizers kills the naturally present ingredients in soil too. Organic fertilizers are made from naturally occurring substances, and include by-products or waste remains of the animals. Dead plants and dead animals cadaver are also often used as fertilizers in organic farming. They are naturally chemical-rich and contain high amounts of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium. On the other hand, the main difference between a chemical fertilizer and an organic fertilizer is that the chemical fertilizer comes out of a lab and the organic fertilizer comes from living beings. A chemical fertilizer is synthetically prepared to include the vital nutrients that are necessary for the plant growth process. All chemical fertilizers contain the normal NPK (nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium) requirement and any other nutrients as required.
One effect of Chemical fertilizers on Biological activities is that it kills the microorganisms in the soil, which, on the other hand, is one of the advantages of organic fertilizers since they boost microbial activity in the soil. These microbes help in reducing the complex compounds present in the organic fertilizers. However, Organic fertilizers may have a problem of overuse, but it is a slow nutrient releasing material, so the nutrients will anyway take some time to get absorbed. In addition to these Organic fertilizers has one of the greatest advantages, which is that they are easily available in nature, in plenty and with almost no adverse effect on the environment. Chemical fertilizers on the other hand might have the problem of nitrogen components seeping into groundwater streams or otherwise into the nearest lake or river and causing pollution. Organic
