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 irri =ion water J _- <br /> sampling, analysis and interpretation to formulate a nutrient D ^ <br /> recommendation based on crop response ? <br /> 78 ) . Are the samples obtained in precisely the same location each year? J = D2 _ 3 <br /> Equipment Rfaintenance: <br /> 79) . Is the machinery designed to apply 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 Afetlzods: <br /> 80) . Are nutrients placed directly on the root zone of trees, within the <br /> drip - line, on the high side of the bed , carefully avoiding placement - D5 -D6 <br /> in the furrow or ditch ? <br /> 81 ) . Are "high risk" fertilizer applications (such as prior to a storm, <br /> on bare soils with a high potential for erosion, or when D7 <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 ) .
