Integrated fertility techniques combine organic and conventional fertilization methods to improve soil health and crop productivity. This approach involves a balanced use of organic materials like compost and manure, alongside chemical fertilizers, to provide crops with the essential nutrients they need. By using soil testing and precision agriculture, farmers can apply fertilizers more efficiently, reducing waste and minimizing environmental impact. Integrated fertility practices also emphasize crop rotation and the use of cover crops to naturally replenish soil nutrients. This sustainable approach not only supports higher crop yields but also enhances soil structure and health, contributing to long-term farm viability and environmental sustainability.
