Integrated nutrient management: An approach to boost sustainable wheat production


Author(s): Arvind Kumar, VP Singh, Rajeew Kumar and DS Pandey

Abstract: Wheat is an important food crop in India. The increasing population and decreasing soil health are serious issues to sustain wheat production. The increased and uncontrolled uses of chemical fertilizers are also a great concern which posses the serious threat to soil health and the environment. Organic farming has the potential to improve soil health and crop productivity. But, overburdening population can need a steady rise in production which can’t be achieved with organic farming. So, The integrated nutrient management for sustainable wheat production is one of the opportunities to overcome on the above issues. The integration of chemical and organic fertilizers with biofertilizers not only improved the soil health but also increases wheat production. The soil organic matter content, soil nutrient status, water holding capacity, cation exchange capacity, and biological activity were observed to be improved while pH and bulk density ware observed to decrease. So, ultimately improved soil fertility status with integrated nutrient management positively influences sustainable wheat production.
