INTEGRATED NUTRIENT
MANAGEMENT IN VEGETABLE CROPS
Integrated nutrient management means combined application of
different sources of plant nutrients like organic inorganic and
bio fertilisers for sustainable crop production without degrading
the natural resources on long term basis . The objective or aim to
integrate the use of natural and man made soil nutrients to
increase crop productivity and preserve soil productivity for future
generation .
▸ INM involves maintenance or adjustment of plant nutrient supply to an optimum level for
sustaining the desired crop productivity.
▸ It involves proper combination of chemical fertilizers, organic manures, crop residues,
nitrogen fixing crops and bio-fertilizers suitable to the system of land use and ecological, social
and economic conditions.
WHY INM?
•Unbalanced use of N:P:K have caused deleterious long term effects on soil fertility and productivity.
•In intensive cultivation, application of mere chemical fertilizers (N:P:K)
Not sufficient for sustaining the yields
Leads to deficiency in the soil for secondary nutrients and
Deficiency of micro-nutrients in the soil which limit crop productivity
•Use of organic manures, green manures, crop residue and biodegradable rural and urban waste
•Supplement the major nutrients.
•Increase the efficiency in other nutrients supply
•Leading to improvement in physical and biological properties of the soil
GOALS OF INM
 To maintain soil productivity To ensure productive and sustainable agriculture
 To reduce expenditure on cost of purchased inputs by using farm manure and crop
residues etc.
 To utilize the potential benefits of green manures, leguminous crops and bio-fertilizers
To prevent degradation of the environment
 To meet the social and economic aspirations of the farmers without harming the
natural resource base of the agricultural production
PRINCIPLES OF INM
 In the soil, replenishment of chemicals removed by the crop
 Maintenance of organic matter content in the soil
 Avoidance of weeds, pests and diseases occurrence
 Control of soil acidity and toxicity
 Control of soil erosion by improving soil physical properties

• Soil physical properties - Improvement in soil granulation, porosity, water holding and
drainage capacity, aeration etc.
• soil health - Prevent deterioration of better tolerance to biotic and abiotic stresses.
• Enrichment of soil with beneficial soil micro organisms. Improves & sustain Physical, Chemical and
biological functioning of soil.
• Balanced nutrition - Balanced nutrition to the crops, better nutritional uptake and hence better
plant growth and yield
• Nutrient demand - Enhance the availability of nutrient. Improvement in the organic matter content
in the soil - Inorganic sources insufficient for nutritional needs. -
• Multiple nutrient deficiency - Maintenance of soil nutrients reserve. Minimize antagonistic effects of
nutrient imbalance.
• Pollution. - Reduced use of chemical fertilizers , reduce nutrient losses , reduces pollution of ground
water and environment.
• Use of available nutrient sources for sustainable agriculture -
• Enhance crop yield & improve produce's quality appearance, taste and nutritional richness.
• Fruitful utilization of farm wastes, organic sources are cheaply available minimize production cost &
residual effect remains beneficial to succeeding crops.
