Abstract from DBPedia
    Liquid manure is a mixture of animal waste and organic matter used as an agricultural fertilizer, sometimes thinned with water. It can be aged in a slurry pit to concentrate it. Liquid manure was developed in the 20th-century as an alternative to fermented manure. Manure in both forms is used as a nutrient-enriched fertilizer for plants, containing high levels of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium present in farm animals' excretions and originating from the food they consume.

    有機資材(ゆうきしざい)は農業において肥料として用いられる有機物である。有機資材は、有機物と土壌中でバクテリアに吸収される窒素のような養分を投入することにより、土壌の肥沃性の向上に寄与する。さらに高次の生物が菌やバクテリアを餌とし、土壌食物連鎖を構成する。
