RB209 Section 2 Organic materials

Information on the nutrient content of organic materials, such as manures, compost and digestate.

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 1 and the Section(s) most relevant to your farming enterprise.
