V. NUTRIENTS (continued): Yes \o BAlPs <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 = D2-� <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 Aletlhods: <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, 7 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? <br /> D13 <br /> 83). are a combination of liquid, dry, or foliar feeding used to maximize D2713,15,18 <br /> plant uptake and minimize losses of nutrients? <br /> Storage and Handling: <br /> 84). If equipment or bulk trailers containing fertilizers are parked �j D1, 8-9, 11 <br /> overnight is adequate security provided? <br /> 8 <br />
