Abstract

Integrated Nutrient Management (INM) involves the application of a combination of organic and inorganic fertilizers, biological agents, green manures, and other soil amendments to improve soil fertility, nutrient use efficiency, and crop productivity. This presents an overview of the importance of soybean as a source of protein and oil and its significance in sustainable agriculture. It discusses the nutrient requirements of soybean and the factors that affect nutrient availability and uptake. The paper highlights the potential benefits and challenges of using INM for soybean production and presents case studies and numerical examples of the impact of INM on soybean Growth, yield, and nutrient uptake.
