Nitrogen Management

Nitrogen management refers to the practice of effectively using nitrogen, an essential nutrient for plant growth, in agriculture and gardening. It involves determining the right amount and timing of nitrogen application to promote healthy crops while minimizing environmental impacts like water pollution. Farmers and gardeners analyze soil conditions, crop needs, and weather patterns to optimize nitrogen use, which can enhance plant yields and sustainability. Proper nitrogen management helps prevent nutrient runoff into waterways, supporting overall ecosystem health and reducing the risk of harmful algal blooms and other environmental issues.
