V. NUTRIENTS ( continued ) : Yes No BMPs <br /> Sampling and Analysis: <br /> 76) . Is there a nutrient management plan that allows for optimum crop 0 0 D2 <br /> production based on soil, water, and plant sample analyses ? <br /> 77) . Is there a program of annual soil, leaf tissue and irrigation water 0 0 D2 -3 <br /> sampling, analysis and interpretation to formulate a nutrient <br /> recommendation based on crop response ? <br /> 78 ) . Are the samples obtained in precisely the same location each year? 0 D2-3 <br /> Equipment Maintenance: <br /> 79) . Is the machinery designed to apply fertilizers properly calibrated, 0 0 D4_ � <br /> maintained and operated, so that the desired rates are consistent <br /> with the form and sources of nutrients? <br /> Application Methods: <br /> 80) . Are nutrients placed directly on the root zone of trees, within the 0 0 D5 -1) 6 <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, 0 0 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 ? 0 0 D 13 <br /> 83 ) . Are a combination of liquid, dry, or foliar feeding used to maximize 0 0 D2213 , 1 5 , 18 <br /> plant uptake and minimize losses of nutrients ? <br /> Storage and Handling: <br /> 84) . If equipment or bulk trailers containing fertilizers are parked 0 0 D17 8 - 9, 11 <br /> overnight is adequate security provided ? <br /> 8 <br />
