Nutrient Management Plans
Rates, Methods and Timing
Nutrient management planning matches nutrient inputs (fertilisers and organic manures) to crop demand. Ensuring that nutrients are applied appropriately is essential for crop yield and quality.
Applying nutrients to increase crop yield and quality
Planning your nutrient management needn't be complicated or time-consuming, and you will be sure reap the benefits in the long run. Nutrient plans minimise the amount of fertilisers you need to use, reduce ammonia emissions, reduce damage to sensitive habitats caused by excess nutrients carried in the air or through water, and also reduce greenhouse gas emissions, ultimately helping to reduce the effects of climate change. The ideal time to prepare a nutrient management plan is in late winter or early spring, before crops are most likely to take up nutrients.
