This
book
focuses
on
integrated
crop
nutrient
management
(ICNM)
in
a
tropical
subsistence
farming
system
relevant
to
South
Asian
Region
and
other
similar
environment.
The
major
objective
of
this
study
was
to
understand
the
nutrient
management
practices
at
the
farm
level
and
to
see
how
efficient
farmers
were
in
utilizing
integrated
sources
of
nutrients
to
sustain
food
productions,
enhance
incomes
and
their
livelihoods.
Integrated
crop
nutrient
management
is
a
topic
taking
prominence
over
the
years
due
to
the
challenges
of
growing
more
foods
to
meet
the
demand
of
the
fast
growing
world
population
without
further
damaging
already
fragile
and
degraded
natural
resource
base
and
the
environment.
Integrated
crop
nutrient
management
is
one
of
the
key
pillars
of
sustainable
intensification
of
agriculture
the
heart
of
which
is
to
produce
more
food
with
less
use
of
resources.
Without
a
balance
mix
of
nutrients
in
the
soil
from
all
sources,
the
basis
of
agricultural
sustainability
is
difficult
to
realize.
A
number
of
evidences
suggest
that
nutrients
and
in
particular
nitrogen
use
efficiency
in
cereal
yield
have
found
to
be
decreasing.
It
is
therefore
urgent
to
work
on
improving
nutrient
use
efficiency
rather
than
increasing
the
levels
of
fertilizer
applications.
This
is
the
area
where
much
of
the
book
is
focused
on.This
work
consists
of
10
chapters.
The
first
introduction
chapter
outlines
the
need
of
producing
more
food
to
feed
the
ever-growing
population
without
further
causing
declined
of
soil
nutrients
and
proposing
ways
to
arrest
nutrient
mining
in
the
soil.
Other
chapters
give
the
basic
understanding
of
the
concept
of
integrated
plant
nutrition,
farming
system
analysis,
soil
fertility
assessment,
analyses
of
nitrogen-yield
equations
in
paddy,
wheat
and
maize
as
well
as
the
environmental
impacts
of
fertilizers
and
sustainability
of
farming
systems.
The
text
is
presented
in
a
sequential
and
an
easy
manner
so
that
readers
get
straightforward
understanding
of
the
issues.
The
research
design
chapter
has
enriched
with
more
on
quantitative
procedures
in
which
students
in
general
have
less
interest
and
attention.
In
the
text,
therefore,
quantitative
approaches
is
employed
with
several
examples
to
illustrate
inferential
statistics
and
hypotheses
tests
with
appropriate
data
set
included
to
encourage
students
to
use
statistical
procedures
in
their
research works.
