Soil fertility management by integrated nutrient management is getting support to overcome the problems faced by chemical fertilizers, like soil pollution, nutrient leaching, and over dependent of costly external inputs. An organic fertilizer improves physical and microbiological properties of soil but they have comparatively low in nutrient content, so larger quantity is required for plant growth. However, inorganic fertilizers are usually immediately and fast containing all necessary macro and micro nutrients that are directly accessible for plants. But continuous use of chemical fertilizers alone causes soil organic matter degradation, soil acidity and environment pollution. So, replacement of a part of chemical fertilizers by organic manure through a simple technique of using minimum effective dose of sufficient and balanced quantities of organic and inorganic fertilizers in combination with specific microorganisms called integrated nutrient management has a bright solution in this area. Eco-friendly approach integrated nutrient management occurring a balance between fertilizers input and crop nutrient requirement and maintain the soil fertility is reviewed with regard to sustainable agriculture.
