Sustainable agricultural production at higher level to meet the demand of growing population with minimal environmental pollution under the scenario of wide gap between demand and supply of key inputs in agriculture viz., water, nutrient and energy can only be achieved by appropriate intermediate technologies for improving the use efficiency of these inputs and efficient management of natural resources. The input use efficiency can be improved by minimizing losses of water, nutrient and avoiding excess use of fossil fuel by following conservation tillage practice and optimal allocation of these inputs synchronizing with the demand of the crops and cropping systems. Instead of piecemeal approach of improving single input use efficiency there is need to find out synergistic combination among different inputs and integrated use of different inputs in a holistic manner to improve the overall input use efficiency. Site-specific technologies should be developed for maximizing the use efficiency of different inputs under integrated input management for different crops and cropping systems under different agro-climatic regions and soil types through multidisciplinary research.
