Nowadays the global food demands of a growing human population and need for an eco-friendly strategy for sustainable soil-plant-microbes-environmental system, require significant attention when addressing the issue of enhancing agricultural productivity. One possible way to enhance crop productivity by chemical fertilization, but due to injudicious uses of chemical input in agricultural system detonated the soil, food, environmental and human health, chemical fertilization also increasing their prices 21st century. However, it is not possible to supply all the nutrient requirements of crops through organic manures. So by taking into consideration the above facts, integrated nutrient management (INM) has been developed. Here we discuss the role of INM in resolving these concerns, which has been proposed as a promising strategy for addressing these challenges. INM has multifaceted potential for the improvement of plant performance and resource efficiency while also enabling the protection of the environment and resource quality. Lower inputs of chemical fertilizer and therefore lower human and environmental costs (such as intensity of land use, N use, reactive N losses and GHG emissions) were achieved under advanced INM practices without any negative effect on crop yields. A comprehensive literature research revealed that INM increases crop yields by 8-150% as compared with conventional practices, increases water and nutrients use efficiency and the economic returns to farmers, while improving grain quality and soil health and sustainability. Strong and convincing evidence indicates that INM practice could be an innovative and environment friendly practice for sustainable agriculture worldwide. © 2015 Journal of Pure and Applied Microbiology.

The present investigation was aimed for improving growth and yield of crop using waste products of different activities and also useful in ecological stability of soil environment. Although, this objective is either an economic option for poor farmer or an effective strategy for increasing yield. The experiment was conducted in the organic farming plot of the Institute of Agricultural Sciences, BHU, Varanasi during Kharif season of mungbean crop in 2014. The field experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design having 10 treatments and replicated thrice. Application of graded level of biochar, carpet waste FYM and PGPR was found to significantly enhance the straw and grain yield of mungbean. Application of BC2, CW1 FYM1 and PGPR was found 60.17% higher over the control treatment. Application of BC2+ CW1 + FYM1 t ha-1 + PGPR resulted in significantly higher straw yield by 54.85% then the straw yield obtained from the control treatment.
