Introduction
Soil is an important natural resource which forms a basis for
agriculture. For efficient management of this soil, fundamental
knowledge about soil, its behavior and its influence on crop growth
is required. Plants require nutrient for their successful growth.
The essential plant nutrients and their major role in the growth
and development of plants are described in order to identify the
principal factor limiting the crop production. Fertilizers and
manures are used to supply plant nutrients. It is very important to
learn about fertilizers and manures, since they are not only
important in agriculture but also in environmental safety.
