Details of Innovation	Now a days, chemical fertilizers are more popluar than the dung ones which are actually more beneficial to the plant, helping to increase yield. First, the farmer sowed same crop in two seperate fields, while applying dung fertilizer in one. During the first year, there was more crop production in the field treated with chemical fertilizer than the on treated with the dung fertilizer. This trend continued for four years. After that, in the 50 Years, the trend reversed and dung-treated crop production was higher. The soil of the field treated with chemical fertilizer had turned harder and its quality continued to deteriorate. The dung-treated field, on the other hand, turned soft. He continued this experiment for 8 years. The farmer calculated and found that the average productionvity of the field treated with dung fertilizer was higher than the one treated with chemical fertilizer.
