Our interactive nutrient management plan (NMP) template can be used or adapted to suit your circumstances. Please familiarise yourself with our Code of Practice before using it.
The below diagram sets out the steps involved in preparing and using the nutrient management plan template.
A good NMP:
ensures that nutrient management meets all legal and industry requirements
includes a nutrient budget which compares nutrient inputs from all sources with all nutrient outputs
achieves desired changes in nutrient levels and production (e.g. increasing soil fertility from a poor base to support a higher stock carrying capacity; altering soil nutrient status to suit future crops)
minimises the cost of supplying nutrients and avoids wasted spending on unnecessary or unused nutrients
