RB209 Section 1 Principles of nutrient management and fertiliser use

Guidance on good nutrient management as well as basic principles of crop nutrition, soils and fertiliser products and application.

Profitable farming requires continued development and use of a wide range of skills. Good nutrient management is an important aspect of this and can contribute to business efficiency and reduce environmental impacts.

The Nutrient Management Guide (RB209) aims to increase uptake and accuracy of crop nutrient management planning. The guide explains the value of nutrients, soil and how good nutrient management can save money as well as help protect the environment.

This section should be read together with Section 2 and the Section(s) most relevant to your farming enterprise.
