Integrated nutrient management in maize aims to maintain soil fertility and optimize crop productivity by using a mix of fertilizers, organic materials, and biological sources of nutrients. By combining chemical and organic fertilizers, farmers can improve maize yield, nutrient uptake, and reduce environmental impact. Different organic materials like manure, compost, and crop residues have been successfully used in maize farming. This approach helps sustain agricultural productivity and food security while minimizing costs and nutrient losses to the environment.
