Fertilizers are substances that provide essential nutrients to plants, helping them grow healthy and strong. There are two main types: organic fertilizers and inorganic fertilizers. Organic fertilizers come from natural sources, such as compost, manure, or bone meal, and improve soil health over time. In contrast, inorganic fertilizers are synthetic and contain concentrated nutrients, like nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. They act quickly to boost plant growth but may not enhance soil quality in the long run. Choosing the right type depends on the specific needs of the plants and the soil conditions.
