Addition of manures increases fertility of sandy soils by slowly recycling nutrients. Inorganic fertilizers, even if added in low installments, are rapidly lost from sandy soils due to excessive natural drainage. On the other hand, manures are not only nutrient carriers which release nutrients slowly and reduces nutrient loss, but they are also soil modifiers which help build up soil organic matter and improve the soil structure and water holding capacity.
