The Integrated Nutrient Management approach which includes utilization of chemical fertilizers as a major sources of plant nutrient, organic manures as a supplementary source of plant nutrients in combination with nitrogen fixing bacteria as a biological source of nitrogen may prove very useful as well as economic in reducing the requirement of chemical fertilizers and increasing the yield.
