Decision making when preparing to initiate a crop (field) or landscape fertility and maintenance plan requires several components, all of which are important.
- Information on the site relative to water retention and water quality must be conidered as essential information prior to launching a maintenance program.
- Data base establishment and maintenance for: evaluating water quality & quantity, soil test nutrient levels, plant tissue nutrient levels, soil physical characteristics (compaction, slope, depth to water table and run off potential (grade)), soil ECe, pH, soil types, specific crop requirements, and information for local ordinance rules, BMP or BMAP requirements must be in place before the concept/crops/plants are planted. Soils have a biological diversity that must be maintained to maximize nutrient availability while using only essential amounts as needed.
- Monitoring of the overall environment present and regular management - planning sessions must be in the initial plan. Education is essential to maximize landscape and plant requirements to prevent pollution.
