Plants Give Manure

Key Notes :

What is Manure?

• Manure is a natural fertilizer made from plant and animal waste. It helps plants grow healthy and strong.

How Plants Give Manure:

• Plants give manure when their leaves, stems, and roots decompose (break down) into the soil. This provides important nutrients for other plants.

Importance of Plants in Making Manure:

• Dead plants, like fallen leaves and stems, turn into humus (a type of manure) when they rot. Humus helps the soil stay healthy and rich in nutrients.

Types of Manure:

• There are two main types of manure: animal manure (from animals like cows and chickens) and plant manure (from decaying plant matter like leaves and grass).

Benefits of Plant Manure:

• It helps make the soil better by adding nutrients.
• It keeps the soil soft and airy, so plants can grow better.
• It helps plants get the water they need.

How Plants Help Farmers:

• Farmers use plant manure to grow crops like vegetables, fruits, and grains.
• Manure from plants helps plants grow faster and healthier, giving us food to eat.
