The benefit of using fertilizer during the Neolithic era was that soil was made richer for growing plants, and fields could be replanted for many years. Fertilizers helped to enhance soil fertility, which allowed for more consistent and productive agricultural practices, reducing the need for shifting cultivation methods like slash-and-burn. This contributed to the development of settled farming communities and the growth of agriculture during that time.
