This practice increases yields and leads to consumption of health friendly foods.Provide and release plant nutrients faster, however their cost is high and may not be sustainable.Provide and release plant nutrients slowly and for a longer period. They are locally available, environmentally friendly, improve soil structure, conserve soil moisture and support beneficial micro-organisms in soil.
