V. NUTRIENTS (continued): Yes No BMPs <br /> Sampling and Analysis: <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 /> 77). 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). Are the samples obtained in precisely the same Iocation each year? 7 = D2-; <br /> Equipment Maintenance: <br /> 79). Is the machinery designed to apply fertilizers properly calibrated, 7 = D4-5 <br /> maintained and operated, so that the desired rates are consistent <br /> with the form and sources of nutrients? <br /> Application Afethods: <br /> 80). Are nutrients placed directly on the root zone of trees, within the 7 _ 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, 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? u D 13 <br /> 83). Are a combination of liquid, dry, or foliar feeding used to maximize D2,13,1 x,18 <br /> plant uptake and minimize losses of nutrients? <br /> Storage and Handling: <br /> 84). If equipment or bulk trailers containing fertilizers are parked Li DI, 8-9 11 <br /> overnight is adequate security provided? <br /> 8 <br />
