Q.20 What steps can I take to ensure losses of fertilizer to the environment are minimised?

A. Apply fertilizer on the basis of soil analysis:

Never apply fertilizer on waterlogged or frozen soils.
Don’t apply fertilizer if heavy rain is forecast within the next 48 hours.
Never spread fertilizer directly into streams or waterways.
Maintain your spreader in good condition so that it will spread evenly and accurately.
