Some examples of fertilising plants organically are; Agricultural waste Manure from livestock Industrial waste However, inorganic fertilisers exist too which are responsible for directly affecting the soil through chemicals. Phosphate rock is a popular material for the manufacturing of this fertiliser.

Reducing greenhouse gas emissions means moving away from the use of high-energy and polluting nitrogenous fertilizers. Diverse plants and manure must take their place. In contrast, today’s dominant players genetically engineer and mass produce seed alongside complementary inputs including fertilizers and pesticides.
According to new data from the Association of Equipment Manufacturers (AEM) , U.S. Poultry litter is rich in nitrogen and phosphorus, and much of the waste product is applied to farmland as a low-cost fertilizer. million by the National Resources Conservation Service to study nutrient runoff from manurefertilizer.
