Abstract
This review summarizes the current knowledge on the effect of integrated use of lime, organics, inorganic fertilizers and biofertilizers on improving fertility status and biological properties of soils. Most of the investigators confirmed that combined application of lime, organics, inorganic fertilizers and biofertilizers on improving fertility status and biological properties of soils. Long term application of organics, inorganic fertilizers and biofertilizer resulted in increase in soil organic carbon status. Organic manures improve soil biological properties but as because they are low in nutrient content, so for plant growth it requires larger quantity of organic manures. However, inorganic fertilizer usually releases nutrients immediately and they are directly accessible to plants. But continuous application of inorganic fertilizer is harmful for soil health and it results in environmental pollution. Combined application of lime, organics, inorganic fertilizers and biofertilizer is very much effective for sustainable and cost effective management of soil fertility. The objective of present review is to assess the effect of integrated use of lime, organics, inorganic fertilizers and biofertilizer on improving fertility status and on improving the biological properties of soil.
