RB209 Fertiliser Update

The updated Nutrient Management Guide (RB209), should provide farmers with an easier to understand resource to better plan their use of manures and fertilisers this season.

The new guide, in essence, communicates the same information as before - providing details of the correct amount of fertilisers and muck to apply to land to maximise efficiency and protect the environment. However its layout has been changed, a number of parameters altered and some sections added. This Farming Note summaries the changes in the latest RB209.
