“…The use of chemical fertilizers is one of the ways to restore depleted nutrients. However, the higher cost of chemical fertilizers coupled with their low affordability by small farmers is the biggest obstacle for their use [2]. Additionally, the improper and imbalanced use of chemical fertilizers deteriorated soil health by producing serious effects on soil microorganisms, soil enzymatic activities, the atmosphere, and groundwater quality, causing health hazards and climate change [3].…”

Nutrient use efficiency is reported as a strong indicator of the buildup soil nutrient status for nutritional security of crops through an integrated nutrient management approach under a rice-wheat system. The data revealed that integrated application of manures and fertilizers reported maximum organic carbon (0.39%) in the treatment receiving 100% of the recommended dose of fertilizers (RDF) + farmyard manure and lowering the pH to 6.39. The maximum available N (360.8 kg ha−1) was found in 100% RDF + press mud treatment; available P (66.30 kg ha−1) was found in 75% RDF + poultry manure; and available K, Zn, Cu, and Fe (226.3 kg ha−1 and 2.220, 0.732, and 36.87 mg kg−1, respectively) in 100% RDF + farmyard manure treatments. Similarly, total macro- and micronutrient content in soil increased with the addition of organic manures alone or in combination with chemical fertilizers. The highest agronomic efficiency and utilization efficiency of nitrogen (41.83 and 102.55 kg kg−1, respectively) and phosphorous (83.57 and 204.9 kg kg−1, respectively) were recorded in the treatment receiving 75% RDF + poultry manure. This study concluded that the integrated application of manures and chemical fertilizers is a must for improving soil nutrient status and nutrient use efficiency and ultimately enhances nutritional security under a rice-wheat system.

“…Research has suggested that integrated nutrient management strategies involving chemical fertilizers and bio-fertilizers enhance the sustainability of crop production. Integrated plant nutrient managet (INM) is the combined use of mineral fertilizers with organic resources such as cattle manures, crop residues, urban/rural wastes, composts, green manures and biofertilizers (Kemal and Abera, 2015).…”

Iran is a major importer of maize in the world. Maize is one of the most important crops in the western Iran. Maize production in this region has two major problems: water shortage and low percentage of organic matter in soil. In this research, effects of vermicompost and Azotobacter as a boifertilizers and chemical fertilizers levels on yield and Some traits of leaves of Maize under normal and defi cit irrigation was investigated in two years (2014 and 2015). Results showed that grain yield, Leaf Area Index, leaf chlorophyll contents, the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) and Leaf relative water content (RWC) were decreased by defi cient irrigation. Use of Azotobacter and vermicompost signifi cantly increased these traits in normal and defi cit irrigation. Results also showed that using 6 ton/ha of vermicompost and Azotobacter in soil, 50% of the corn fertilizer supplied. The results showed that combined use of biofertilizers with chemical fertilizers increased the yield and other traits. Therefore the uses of biological fertilizers signifi cantly reduce the consumption of chemical fertilizers and reduce the adverse environmental effects. So biofertilizers could be considered as a suitable substitute for chemical fertilizer in organic agricultural systems. On the other hand from this experiment, application of vermicompost in combination with chemical fertilizers showed better performance than only chemical fertilizers, even in 100% recommendation based on soil test treatments. As a general conclusion these results suggest that integrating organic sources with 50% of recommended NPK fertilizers are appropriate for sustainable crop production in normal and defi cient irrigation.

“…High and stable yield could be attained through reasonable and balanced fertilization of organic and inorganic fertilizers [36]. Several studies showed INM significantly improved yield and yield traits of maize [37]. e combined use of poultry manure and chemical fertilizer was more effective in increasing nutrient availability and maize performance than the sole application of any of the fertilizers [38].…”

Boosting crop productivity can be attained through the application of inorganic fertilizer; however, safeguarding the environment for future generations is overbearing especially for continuous increase in the world population. Sustainable crop productivity might be attained through the judicious use of both organic and inorganic fertilizers. The substitution of parts of inorganic fertilizers with organic fertilizer could maintain and sustain soil productivity and improve crop productivity. This paper has reviewed the past research work carried out by various scientists. A comprehensive literature review revealed that integrated nutrient management enhances maize yield, nutrient uptake, and economic return compared with the sole application of organic and inorganic fertilizers.
