Nitrogen Management Strategies for Augmenting Soil Fertility

Soil is living heart of agriculture. Soil health is the fitness of soil for use. The heart of soil health is the integration of the soil physical, chemical and biological process and its function. Soil healths are degraded due to improper management practices. Hence conjoint use of organic and inorganic fertilization will improve the soil health by altering the physical, chemical and biological properties of soil. Therefore integrated nutrient management is key for sustaining the productivity and improving soil quality. The first chapter of the book deals about importance of organic and inorganic fertilization of soil. The chapter 2 and 3 provides review of literature used and method of experiment carried out; chapter4, 5 and 6 emphasized the results, discussion and summary of the research; chapter7 and 8 enlist the tables and figures derived from the research findings and chapter 9 gives the references list used for the research. The book, it is believed, will meet the growing demand of researchers; students; teachers and other users such as soil scientist, Agronomists, Administrators and land -use planners.
