The manure/fertilizer should have:

Nitrogen(N): For the plants to evolve and green parts to grow.

Phosphorous(P): For the root system to develop and plant quality.

Potassium(K): For bud placement and fruit quality.

• Important things while thinking about agriculture:

1. pH of the soil.

2. Calcium content in the soil: Kummayam/Kakka/Egg Shells/ Calcium Carbonate can be used: Calcium is important for cell strength of plants.

3. Carbon content in the soil: Decayed parts of trees/leaves/stem cane be used.

4. Magnesium content in the soil: Dolomite can be used: Magnesium is important for the Chlorophyll content of plants.

5. Urea in the soil: Cow dung/urine can be used after diluting it ten times.

6. Fat in the soil: Fish manure can be used.

7. Protein in the soil: Kadalapinnak/Kappalandi Pinnnak can be used.

8. Trace elements in the soil: This include Boron, Iodine, Zinc, Phosphorous for giving the plants immunity against diseases.

Calcium,

Dolomite, Urea,

Protein products,

Trace elements

can be made available.
