Manure and Nutrient Management
| Nutrient
Management is
a process that will plan for the application of nutrients to optimize crop
yields while minimizing the movement of nutrients toward surface and
groundwater. To be economically and environmentally sound, a nutrient plan
evaluates available sources and rates of manure and commercial fertilizer
along with the placement and timing of nutrient sources. |
