This book was released on 2009-05-07 with total page 277 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Agriculture is the main occupation in India and about 75% of its population depends directly or indirectly on agriculture for their livelihood. It is the dominant sector that contributes 18% of the gross domestic product. Thus, agriculture is the foundation of the Indian economy. The maximum share of Indian exports is also from the agriculture sector. As the population of the country is increasing trem- dously, approximately at the rate of 19 million every year over the existing popu- tion of more than 1 billion (approximately 1. 18 billion), the food grain production must necessarily be increased. This can be done by increasing crop production to match the population growth rate of 2. 2% per annum, which is expected to stabilize at 1. 53 billion around 2050. There is no doubt that the Green Revolution in India during the late 1960s brought self-sufficiency in food grain production, mainly through the increase in rice and wheat crop yields – the two main crops of the country which play an important role from food security point of view. However, the excessive use of fertilizers and pesticides, and the neglect of organic manures for these crops, has resulted in the deterioration of physical, chemical and biological health of the ri- and wheat-growing soils. Owing to the deterioration of the health of these soils, the productivity of the rice–wheat cropping system has now either got reduced or in some places has become constant for the last decade.

Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2017 in the subject Biology - Botany, grade: 3, , course: HORTICULTURE, language: English, abstract: This work focuses on horticulture, more precisely on integrated nutrient management in underground vegetable crops. Vegetable comprises large number of plants, consumed as leaf, fruits, flowers, stem, roots etc. They are rich in nutrients like carbohydrates, proteins, fats, minerals and vitamins. They are mostly cultivated around the year throughout the country. India is the second largest producer of vegetables next to China in the world. It is cultivated in an area of 9575 (‘000’ ha) with production of 166608 (‘000’ MT) with the productivity of 17.40 MT/ha (NHB, 2016). Nowadays, modern agriculture depends heavily on use of chemical fertilizers for boosting crop yield. However, indiscriminate use of fertilizers has an adverse effect on long term soil health and environment which has global attention. The realistic solution is Integrated Nutrient Management system are the combined application of chemical fertilizers, alongwith organic manure, green manure, bio-fertilizer and other organic recyclable materials for crop production.

Download or read book Integrated Nutrient Management in Wheat written by Kumar Santosh and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2015-10-20 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Continuous applications of only needy nutrients through chemical fertilizers have deleterious effect on soil health leading to unsustainable yields. Wheat contributes about 30% of total grain production in India. The major constraint in boosting up the wheat production is the poor soil health. Therefore; there is a need to improve nutrient supply system in terms of integrated nutrient management involving the use of chemical fertilizers in conjunction with organic manures coupled with input through biological processes. Balanced fertilizer is the application of essential plant nutrients in right proportion and in optimum quantity for a specific soil crop condition. Imbalanced use of fertilizer led to the deterioration in the soil fertility and decrease in soil productivity. Higher yield at balanced nutrition is a safe guard to soil fertility. Integrated plant nutrient management helps in meeting the goals of balanced fertilization.

This book was released on 2023-01-05 with total page 87 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Intensive agriculture system, while increasing food grain production, has caused second-generation problems concerning nutrient imbalance. Some, other problems like greater mining of nutrients from the soil, soil fertility depletion, emerging multiple nutrient deficiencies, secondary and micronutrients, fall of the water table and deteriorate water quality, decline organic carbon and an overall deterioration in soil health. In INM, crop yields can be increased while minimizing nutrient losses to the environment by managing nutrient supply in the root zone within a reasonable range, Soil physico-chemical and biological properties are closely related with SOC and OM, thus, any soil management practices that enhance soil organic matter, microbial biomass and soil health, for this, combined use of organic and inorganic nutrient sources might be the right proposition for these soils, primarily for the improvement of soil health.. The research main motive was to find out the best-integrated practice which can be used to find out the best INM practice that can help to overcome this problem.

Download or read book Nutrient Dynamics for Sustainable Crop Production written by Ram Swaroop Meena and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2019-09-06 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The cropping system is one of the important components of sustainable agriculture, since it provides more efficient nutrient cycling. As such, balanced fertilization must be based on the concept of sustainable crop production. Feeding the rapidly growing world population using environmentally sustainable production systems is a major challenge, especially in developing countries. A number of studies have highlighted the fact that degradation of the world's cultivated soils is largely responsible for low and plateauing yields. Soil is lost rapidly but only formed over millennia, and this represents the greatest global threat to nutrient dynamics in agriculture. This means that nutrient management is essential to provide food and nutritional security for current and future generations. Nutrient dynamics and soil sustainability imply the maintenance of the desired ecological balance, the enhancement and preservation of soil functions, and the protection of biodiversity above and below ground. Understanding the role of nutrient management as a tool for soil sustainability and nutritional security requires a holistic approach to a wide range of soil parameters (biological, physical, and chemical) to assess the soil functions and nutrient dynamics of a crop management system within the desired timescale. Further, best nutrient management approaches are important to advance soil sustainability and food and nutritional security without compromising the soil quality and productive potential. Sustainable management practices must allow environmentally and economically sustainable yields and restore soil health and sustainability. This book presents soil management approaches that can provide a wide range of benefits, including improved fertility, with a focus on the importance of nutrient dynamics. Discussing the broad impacts of nutrients cycling on the sustainability of soil and the cropping systems that it supports, it also addresses nutrient application to allow environmentally and economically sustainable agroecosystems that restore soil health. Arguing that balanced fertilization must be based on the concept of INM for a cropping system rather than a crop, it provides a roadmap to nutrient management for sustainability. This richly illustrated book features tables, figures and photographs and includes extensive up-to-date references, making it a valuable resource for policymakers and researchers, as well as undergraduate and graduate students of Soil Science, Agronomy, Ecology and Environmental Sciences.

This book was released on 2020 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.
