Nitrogen Management Plan (NMP)

A Nitrogen Management Plan (NMP) is a strategic approach used by farmers and land managers to optimize the use of nitrogen fertilizers. Its goal is to ensure crops receive enough nitrogen for healthy growth while minimizing environmental impacts like water pollution and greenhouse gas emissions. The plan involves assessing soil conditions, crop needs, and timing fertilizer applications carefully. By managing nitrogen effectively, they enhance crop yields, reduce costs, and protect the environment. Overall, an NMP promotes sustainable farming practices by balancing agricultural productivity with ecological responsibility.
