Integrated Nutrient Management (INM)

INM refers to the maintenance of soil fertility and of plant nutrient supply at an optimum level for sustaining the desired productivity of a crop.

INM enables the adaptation of the plant nutrition and soil fertility management in farming systems to site characteristics, taking advantage of the combined and harmonious use of organic, mineral and biofertilizer nutrient resources to serve the concurrent needs of the economic, environmental and social viability of your production facility.

Most traditional farming methods take into account strictly what nutrient plants need and at what rates. INM takes into account multiple parameters of the ecological framework. Components of an INM plan include:

• Cultivation Management

• Foliar Nutrition Programs

• Access to Local Availability of Nutrients & Resources

• Farm Research Projects For Testing New Products

• Soil Testing

• Leaf Tissue Testing
