the measure of the plants height.
Livestock
Are the animals such as cattle and sheep which are kept
on a farm. This term is used to get its manure for the
fertilization of the plant.
Manure
Is animal faeces, sometimes mixed with chemicals, that
is spread on the ground in order to makes plant grow healthy

Break the seed coat lightly and soak the seeds in water

field.
Plant the second flush on the second day then throw all

CONCLUSION
We therefore conclude, that the comparison of using
organic and inorganic fertilizer is really helpful for the
farmers, if what should they used for better and effective
production. Organic fertilizer can create a wider leaves and
also remains the nutrients of the soil. The importance of
