What is a Nutrient Management Plan?

A nutrient management plan is a formal document that balances crop nutrient needs with nutrients that are applied in the form of commercial fertilizer, animal manure, or biosolids. A plan contains:

soil test results
manure and biosolids analyses (where applicable)
yield goals
estimates of residual nitrogen to generate field-by-field recommendations
