Abstract
One of the most important challenges facing humanity today is to conserve/ sustain natural resources, including soil and water, for increasing food production while protecting the environment. When tackling the problem of improving crop yield, the rising food demands of a growing human population and the requirement for an environmentally appropriate plan for sustainable agricultural development. The goal of an integrated nutrient management (INM) is to achieve harmony in the concurrent, legal, and effective application of chemical fertilizers. INM takes environmental concerns into account by adjusting fertilizer application to crop needs and soil conditions in order to avoid both excessive applications that raise the possibility for loss to water or air and insufficient applications that cause the degradation of soil fertility. INM has a lot of potential for supplying the expanding nutritional needs of intensive agriculture. Without decreasing the standard, it can also help maintain production sustainability.
