Nutrient Management & IPM Workshop – Elgin

Good nutrient management is about making the most of inorganic fertiliser and organic manure. By carefully planning and matching applications to crop need, farmers can cut unnecessary costs, make better use of their resources, and get more consistent yields and quality from their crops. At the same time, it reduces the risk of nutrient losses to water and air, helping to protect the environment and cut greenhouse gas emissions.

Nutrient budgeting also supports compliance with regulations and assurance schemes, builds healthier soils and more resilient farming systems for the future. In short, it saves money, supports productivity, and safeguards the environment — a win win for both farm businesses and the wider countryside.

Join us for a practical workshop covering soil management and the practical considerations for optimising soil and nutrient management. We will help to build your knowledge and understanding of soil and nutrient management and demonstrate how the use of analysis and preparation of a nutrient management plan can help you to improve efficiency, lower emissions and improve soil and crop health.

This event is suitable for New Entrants.
