Excessive application of chemical fertilizers to attain higher yield has not only reduced the nutrient use efficiency but has also adversely affected the soil productivity and environmental stability. For this reason, immediate conversion to organic farming would drastically reduce production at initial phases which is of major concern to feed the growing population. This article is written with prime focus to notify on the yield variability under different integrated nutrient management approaches from research conducted worldwide. Organic manures like farmyard manure (FYM), green leaf manure (GLM), vermicompost (VC) and poultry manure (PM) are prioritized due to local availability with integration with inorganic fertilizers on growth and yield of rice. From the study, integrated nutrient management is the best practice over chemical fertilizers and also over complete shift to organic cultivation in terms of improving productivity and also maintaining soil health but over a long run. Selection of organic manures can be made from local availability to decrease the cost of cultivation over inorganic fertilizers as well as other organic sources of fertilizers.
