Is there a program of annual soil , leaf tissue and irrigation «•ater - 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 Iocation each year" = D2 - 3 <br /> Equipment Maintenance: <br /> 79 ) . Is the machinery designed to apple 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 Methods: <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, 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 ) .
