Best Management Practices: Managing Crop Nutrients

This Best Management Practices book (2008) is a general but detailed primer on meeting the nutrient demands of your crops without wasting resources or risking loss to ground and surface water. This resource for nutrient management planning:

• explains what crop nutrients are
• where they come from
• and how they move through soil, plants, water and air
• shows why and how to test soil and manure as the best means to determine what nutrients your crops need
• provides BMPs for nutrient application, to ensure you apply the right rate at the right time in the right place.

Replaces Nutrient Management (1997).
