Humus is the component with a dark brownish tint made up of dead and decaying plant and animal debris. It makes the soil more fertile. Humus is an organic material that benefits farmers since it gives the soil a lot of fertility. The top layer of soil, known as humus, typically contains the decomposing and dead remnants of plants and animals. Humus can be easily obtained by a procedure called composting. Mineral soil is another name for it.
