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 ID ❑ 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 0 132 -3 <br /> Equipment Maintenmtce: <br /> 79) . Is the machinery designed to apply fertilizers properly calibrated, C ❑ 134 - 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 D ❑ 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? 0 ❑ D 13 <br /> 83 ) . Are a combination of liquid, dry, or foliar feeding used to maximize 0 D 132 , 1321 5 , 18 <br /> plant uptake and minimize losses of nutrients ? <br /> Storage and Handling: <br /> 84) .
