NVZs & Nutrient Planning
Nitrate Vulnerable Zones (NVZs) are areas designated as being at risk from agricultural nitrate pollution. They include about 55% of land in England. The Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) reviews NVZs every 4 years to account for changes in nitrate concentrations.
Farmers with land in NVZs need to keep a host of records and carry out a range of calculations on nutrient management planning, fertiliser application and organic manure production, storage and use. Green Shoots Farm Consultancy can help you with these.
​
Soil and manure sampling are significant in farming as they enable farmers to evaluate the fertility, nutrient composition, and overall condition of their soil. This understanding empowers farmers to make well-informed choices regarding fertiliser application, crop selection, and irrigation management.
