Crop Nutrient Management Partnership

We update the Nutrient Management Guide (RB209) in partnership with many organisations. The partnership includes a Steering Group supported by three Technical Working Groups (TWGs). The partnership coordinates the research and knowledge exchange it funds to generate independent, scientifically robust and practical data on crop nutrient management for the UK.

All research used to update RB209 is published by AHDB.
