Nutrient management plans

A Nutrient Management Plan is a tailored strategy that guides the proper application of fertilizers to crops or soil. Its goal is to supply plants with the right amount of nutrients they need for healthy growth while preventing excess that can harm the environment. The plan considers factors like crop type, soil health, weather, and irrigation practices. By following this plan, farmers can improve yields, reduce waste, and protect water quality. Essentially, it’s a science-based approach to ensure crops get adequate nutrition efficiently and sustainably.
