2. What is Organic Fertilizer? Derived from natural sources like plants, animals and minerals. They provide nutrients to plants indirectly by feeding soil organisms, which in turn release plant available nutrients

3. Benefits of Organic Fertilizer Improved soil health: enhances soil structure, nutrient retention, and microbial activity. Sustained nutrient release: provides gradual nutrient availability to plants. Reduced environmental impact: generally considered more environmentally friendly than synthetic fertilizers Enhanced plant growth and resilience: promotes healthy plant development and resistance against to pests and diseases.

4. TYPES OF ORGANIC FERTILIZERS PLANT-BASED EXAMPLE ( SARGASUM (ARAGAN))
