Role of INM in Sustainable Rice–Wheat Cropping System

  • Chapter
Integrated Nutrient Management (INM) in a Sustainable Rice—Wheat Cropping System

To meet the ever-increasing demand for food of the huge population of the Indian subcontinent and to exploit the high yield potential of cereals, it requires higher fertilizer doses, which are a non-renewable source of energy. However, long-term fertilizer experiments have revealed that continuous application of suboptimal doses of chemical fertilizers to soil has resulted in the deterioration of soil health, environmental pollution and stagnation or decrease in crop productivity. Thus, integrated use of organic manures with optimal levels of NPK fertilizers is the need of the day that will not only improve the nutrient status and soil health but has also shown greater potential in stabilizing crop yields over a period of time. The integrated use of organics and chemical fertilizers at optimum levels as determined by soil tests in long-term fertilizer experiments indicate the build-up of micronutrient and secondary nutrient reserves such as Zn, Cu, Mn, Ca, Mg and S. Therefore, INM in sustainable rice-wheat cropping system is of paramount importance. It will also ensure increased crop productivity in an efficient and environmentally benign manner, without diminishing the capacity of the soil to produce for present and future generations. In other words, INM system is an ecologically, socially and economically viable approach, which on the whole is non-hazardous. In this chapter, the importance and beneficial role of various organic sources (organic manures like FYM, compost, green manures, crop residues, vermicompost, bio-fertilizers, leguminous crops and locally available nutrient sources) in conjunction with chemical fertilizers are discussed.
