Accomplish of Integrated Nutrient Management in Fodder Crops: A Review

Abstract

The availability of quality fodder in good quantity is necessary to improve the productivity of the animal. Since India place 2nd in population around the world, so to address the need for milk, the requirement of good quality fodder is necessary. In our country, there is a shortage of quality fodder due to less work being done to improve its quality and availability of lesser areas of land for its cultivation. This review paper goes through the previous work done to analyse the effect of combined nutrient sources. The application of inorganic nutrients with the combination of organic nutrients leads to improve crop yield with improvement in soil health and its productivity without deteriorating the environmental conditions. Soil is the primary source of nutrients for crops, and any degradation of the soil can result in a decrease in crop yield. Therefore, it is necessary to implement Integrated Nutrient Management (INM) practices to ensure the sustainability of natural resources and increase crop productivity.
