Shamarao will have better crop production. Organic manure is considered better than fertilisers because

  1. It enhances the water-holding capacity of soil.
  2. It makes soil porous due to which the exchange of gases becomes easy.
  3. It improves soil texture.

Chemical fertilisers are rich in one type of nutrients and overutilisation of chemical fertilisers can harm soil organisms and affect soil texture.
