Introduction

Welcome to the OMAFRA Nutrient Management software upgrade site. NMAN is a software tool enabling farmers to track nutrients from livestock manure, fertilizer applications and previous crops in order to determine suitable nutrient application rates for current and future crops. For more information about NMAN, visit the NMAN Software Home Page.

The most recent version of NMAN can be downloaded from this page.

Who can use the Online Download?

This download can be used by anyone who needs a copy of NMAN 2.1. If you are currently using NMAN June 14, 2004 R4 or older, we strongly suggest that you attend a Nutrient Management training course to become familiar with recent changes to the software.

When do I have to Start Using this Latest Version?

If you are using NMAN to prepare Nutrient Management Strategies/Plans, the Approvals, Certification and Licensing Unit will only accept applications prepared using NMAN 2.0.1, NMAN 2.0.2 or NMAN 2.1.

Downloading NMAN

To download NMAN 2.1, click the link below and follow the instructions.

  1. When you click on the link below, depending on your Windows configuration you will be asked whether to Save the File or Run the File from the Current Location. Both options work equally well. It may be convenient to save the file to your Desktop and then delete it once the upgrade has been completed.

  2. Once the file is downloaded, double click the file or click "Open" and the online upgrade will engage InstallShield©, a program which assists in the installation of the new version. Follow the InstallShield instructions.

  3. When installing NMAN 2.1, existing versions of NMAN 2 are updated. This installer will not overwrite or impact older versions of NMAN installed on your system (NMAN June 14, 2004 R4 or older).

  4. When upgrading, your ".NMP" data files will not be changed, modified, or deleted. New copies will be made, upgraded and saved as ".NM2" data files.

Troubleshooting When Installing NMAN

If you are unsuccessful in downloading the upgrade, you can contact any OMAFRA Regional Office to receive a new NMAN CD in the mail. Please consider the following common problems before calling the NMAN hotline number (1-866-242-4460):

  1. When downloading, if your internet security settings are set to a restrictive level you may not be able to download an executable (program) file. Downloading any file from the internet has risks. If you lower your security settings in order to download this file, you should reset them to their previous levels afterwards.

  2. The download file is very large (85 MB) because it contains the InstallShield© software and Adobe Acrobat Reader. On slow internet connections, the downloading process may be slow.
