V. NUTRIENTS ( continued ) , Yes \ o BAIPs <br /> Sampling and Anahisis: <br /> 76 ) . Is there a nutrient management plan that allows for optimum crop - _ D2 <br /> production based on soil , water, and plant sample analyses ? <br /> 7 7 ) . Is there a program of annual soil , leaf tissue and irrigation water <br /> sampling, analysis and interpretation to formulate a nutrient <br /> recommendation based on crop response ? <br /> 78 ) . Axe the samples obtained in precisely the same Iocation each year ? = D2 - 3 <br /> Equipment Maintenance: <br /> 79 ) . Is the machinery designed to apply fertilizers properly calibrated , = D4 - 5 <br /> maintained and operated, so that the desired rates are consistent <br /> with the form and sources of nutrients ? <br /> Application Aletltods: <br /> 80) . Are nutrients placed directly on the root zone of trees , within the = D5 - D6 <br /> drip - line, on the high side of the bed , carefully avoiding placement <br /> in the furrow or ditch ? <br /> 81 ) . Are "high risk" fertilizer applications (such as prior to a storm, �i D7 <br /> on bare soils with a high potential for erosion, or when <br /> the water table is at or near the surface) avoided ? <br /> 82 ) . When applying foliar fertilizers is care taken to minimize drift ? � J D 13 <br /> 83 ) . are a combination of liquid , dry, or foliar feeding used to maximize I _ D2 . 18 15 . 18 <br /> plant uptake and minimize losses of nutrients ? <br /> Storage and Handling: <br /> 84 ) .
