Integrated Nutrient Management (INM): A Sustainable Approach to Crop Nutrition
18 June 2025
Integrated Nutrient Management, commonly known as INM, is a scientifically proven strategy to supply crops with the right balance of nutrients while maintaining long-term soil health. It combines chemical fertilizers, organic manures, and biofertilizers to ensure efficient and eco-friendly nutrient delivery to plants.
What is INM?
INM is the judicious and balanced use of different nutrient sources:
- Chemical fertilizers for immediate nutrient availability
- Organic manures like farmyard manure (FYM), compost, and green manures for improving soil structure
- Biofertilizers like Rhizobium, Azotobacter, and phosphate-solubilizing bacteria that support natural nutrient cycling
- This combination helps maintain soil fertility and improve crop yields without degrading the environment.
Why is INM Important?
- Maintains and improves soil fertility
- Reduces over-reliance on chemical fertilizers
- Increases nutrient use efficiency
- Enhances microbial activity and soil biodiversity
- Promotes sustainable crop production
Key Components of INM
- Chemical Fertilizers: Provide quick and targeted nutrients such as nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium.
- Organic Sources: Compost, vermicompost, green manure, and crop residues contribute to organic carbon and micronutrients.
- Biofertilizers: Living microorganisms that fix nitrogen, solubilize phosphorus, and stimulate plant growth.
Practical Example
In sugarcane farming, a farmer might use:
- 60 percent of the recommended nitrogen through urea
- 20 percent through well-decomposed compost
- 20 percent through Azotobacter biofertilizer
This ensures continuous and balanced nutrient availability throughout the crop cycle.
