Organic fertilizers are fertilizers produced from residues, fresh or rotten or even highly decomposed plant or animal origin, while inorganic fertilizers are synthesyzed  by chemical or chemo-mechanical processes to supply one or more essential plant nutrient elements. Though "Urea" fertilizer is usually called inorganic fertilizer, but myself have termed this "Urea" as synthetic organic fertilizer (in my MS theses dissertation in1987, CLSU, Philippines) as the compound contains Carbon (C) in its chemical composition.

Organic fertilizers refer to decomposition of biomass through natural process. Decomposition of plant residue in the form of compost, cowdung and human excretion  increase soil fertility. Crop residues and litters decaying are also important source of organic fertilizer that use to increase soil fertility.

 

Inorganic fertilizers are chemical prepared to maintain soil fertility and improve productivity, Inroganic fertilizers nuirish soil with major nutrients such as potassium, nitrogien and phosphorous and micro nutirients such as calcium, magnesium etc...

the organic or natural fertilizers are essential elements added to the plants as it was found in nature etc,,,flesbar for potassium , rock phosphate for phosphorus , compost for nitrogin 

this formula will provide the plants with needed elements without the use of conventional fertilizers 

 

the converntional fertilizers are coming from same source but go through some process to increase the contents of target elements to be more available for the plants

Organic food or crop are produced without using any synthetic pesticides and chemical fertilizers, although certain organically approved pesticides may be used under limited conditions. In general, organic foods are also not processed by using irradiation, industrial solvents, or chemical food additives. While there may be some differences in the amounts of nutrients and anti-nutrients when organically produced food and conventionally produced food are compared, the variable nature of food production and handling makes it difficult to generalize results, and there is insufficient evidence to make claims that organic food is safer or healthier than conventional food. Claims that organic food tastes better are generally not supported by evidence.
