Integrated nutrient management for sustainable mungbean production: A review of the opportunities and challenges

Abstract

This review paper delves into the comprehensive analysis of the influence of integration of organic & inorganic nutrient management on mungbean cultivation. Through a meticulous examination of existing literature, this review synthesizes the outcomes of diverse organic, inorganic and it’s combine fertilization approaches, encompassing vermicompost utilization, FYM, biofertilizers (Rhizobium and PSB), Leaf compost, integration with inorganic fertilizer (as. Phosphates, potassic, micronutrients) and incorporation and their consequential effects on mungbean growth, yield, and soil quality. The review elucidates the underlying mechanisms by which organic nutrients modulate mungbean physiology and productivity, underscoring the significance of sustainable agricultural methodologies. The synthesis of findings underscores the potential of organic nutrient management to augment mungbean yield, ameliorate soil fertility, and foster environmental sustainability. Several research demonstrated that INM increases crop yields when compared to conventional approaches, improves water-use efficiency and the economic benefits to farmers, while boosting grain quality, soil health, and sustainability. In conclusion, the paper identifies research gaps and advocates for future investigations to refine organic nutrient management practices for the sustainable advancement of mungbean cultivation.
