Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L.), a key cereal crop in semi-arid regions, demands effective nutrient management to ensure sustainable production. Nutrient management enhances crop productivity, soil fertility, and resource use efficiency while minimizing environmental impacts. Innovative strategies like the 4R framework (Right Source, Rate, Time, and Place), integrated nutrient management, and the use of bio-fertilizers and organic manures have shown promising results in improving yields and soil health. Challenges include soil nutrient imbalances, low organic matter, and overdependence on chemical fertilizers. Adopting sustainable practices, along with farmer education, is crucial for enhancing sorghum productivity and environmental resilience.
