Choose whether the given statement is true or false.

Increased use of fertilizer decreases soil fertility whereas manure helps in improving soil texture and replenishes nutrient content. 

The given statement is true.

The overuse or misuse of fertilizers can lead to a decrease in soil fertility due to the accumulation of excess nutrients, such as nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, which can alter the soil's pH and mineral balance. 

On the other hand, manure provides organic matter, which helps in improving soil texture, structure, and water-holding capacity, and also replenishes the nutrient content of the soil in a natural and sustainable way.
