Abstract
Integrated nutrient management (INM) is a management strategy that aims at maintaining or adjusting of soil fertility and plant nutrient supply to an optimum level for sustaining the desired crop productivity through all possible sources of plant nutrients in an integrated manner through a balanced use of fertilizers combined with organic sources. Growth parameters, yield components, yield of maize were highly enhanced by integrated use of chemical and organic fertilizer is crucial for assuring food security. Combined use decreases the nutrient losses by slow release and reducing the input cost of fertilizer. Different kinds of organic materials such as FYM, animal manures, green manures, crop residues, composts, and industrial wastes have been used in maize systems. The concepts and research evidences from eminent scientists proves that integrated nutrient management enhances the productivity of maize and soil fertility sustenance.
