Nutrient Management Plan

Nutrient management plans provide farmers with information on how to grow crops to their potential for their farming system. This information includes when to apply nutrients, where to apply nutrients and how to apply them to achieve optimum slurry recycling and nutrient uptake by plants.

A nutrient management plan highlights where slurry and fertilisers should be applied to prevent over application of nutrients. This measure is applicable to those participants that do not require an NMP under current GAP regulations or other scheme requirements.

€400 is provided for the drawing up of this plan.
