According to the History of Fertilizer by Dr. James Beaton*:
800-200 BCE Greek writers were writing about the use of manure to adjust the richness of soil for crops.

Theophrastus (Θεόφραστος) (4th-3rd cent. BCE)** was an ancient Greek who wrote two (surviving) botanical texts: Enquiry into Plants and On the Causes of Plants.

In Classical Greece: ancient histories and modern archaeologies (ed. Ian Morris), Theophrastus is cited as writing up some of the earliest lists on the strength of different kinds of manure as fertilizer. The order of strength at this time: human, swine, goat, sheep, ox and pack animals.
