Abstract

Nutrient management involves the strategic management of nutrients and soil amendments to optimize economic benefits while minimizing environmental impacts. It focuses on factors like the right rate, timing, source, and placement of nutrients to enhance crop yields and quality while reducing off-site specific nutrient transport that can harm the environment.  Key practices include selecting the appropriate fertilizer type, applying the correct amount at the right time and place.
