Effect of integrated nutrient management practices on soil chemical properties: A review

Abstract

A long term imbalanced use of fertilizers is adversely affecting the sustainability of agricultural production eventually causing environmental pollution. The major issue for the sustainable agricultural production will be management of soil organic carbon and rational use of organic inputs as integrated plant resource management. It play a vital role in improving stocks of plant nutrient in soil by increasing the efficiency of plant nutrients, thus limiting losses to the environment. It optimize the function of the soil biosphere and ultimately sustaining the physical, chemical and biological function of soil. This paper has reviewed the research work carried out by various scientist on impact of integrated nutrient management on different soil chemical properties in India and abroad.
