Beyond NPK: Why Cow Dung Could Be the Game-Changer for Organic Sweet Potato Farmers in Nigeria

While inorganic fertilizers offer a quick nutrient release that plants can absorb rapidly, they tend to be expensive and may degrade soil health over time. In contrast, organic fertilizers present a more sustainable and cost-effective alternative. Not only are they readily available and affordable for most farmers, but they also enrich the soil with both macro and micronutrients, enhancing its structure and long-term fertility. Their ability to improve soil health while supporting impressive crop yields makes organic inputs a smart and economical choice for today’s resource-conscious farmers.
