All nutrient management plans must meet this standard. Answer Federal and State Regulations for 100

What is the 590 nutrient management standard? Back to the Game Board 3 Federal and State Regulations for 100

The 590 standard regulates these which can be applied to cropland. Answer Federal and State Regulations for 200

What are nutrients? Back to the Game Board Federal and State Regulations for 200

Two purposes of the 590 standard. Answer Federal and State Regulations for 300

What are: To budget, supply, and conserve nutrients for plant production. To minimize agricultural nonpoint source pollution of surface and groundwater resources. To properly utilize manure or organic by-products as a plant nutrient source. To protect air quality by reducing odors, nitrogen emissions (ammonia, oxides of nitrogen), and the formation of atmospheric particulates. To maintain or improve the physical, chemical, and biological condition of soil. Back to the Game Board Federal and State Regulations for 300

Nutrient management regulations are in place to protect environmentally sensitive areas from these two things. Answer Federal and State Regulations for 400

Back to the Gameboard Manure Management for 100 What is avoiding application of manure to frozen soils?

Most phosphorous is lost from the field in these Answer Manure Management for 200

What are eroded soil particles? Back to the Game Board Manure Management for 200

Three factors influence the amount of phosphorous lost in runoff (name one) Answer Manure Management for 300
