MSU Nutrient Management Program A management tool to assist MI crop and livestock producers with: 1) pesticide application recordkeeping ● record info. required by Federal regs for RUP ● record info. required by WPS for REI & employees ● record info. recommended by Pesticide GAAMPs ● print Pesticide Application Reports and/or WPS notifications for Central Notification Posting Board
MSUNM (cont’d) 2) fertilizer nutrient management ● record soil fertility test results ● develop crop plan for all fields ● generate MSU fertilizer (nutrient) & lime recom’d’ns ● MSUNM estimates N credits for previous legumes & subtracts from N recommendations ● MSUNM estimates value of N credits and the cost to purchase recommended nutrients still needed ● record nutrient & lime applications ● recordkeeping to document mgmt. practices used (GAAMPs, NMP, CNMP, NRCS)
MSUNM (cont’d) 3) manure nutrient management ● record soil tests, develop crop plans, generate nutrient recommendations ● record manure analysis results (can use defaults) ● generate manure spreading guide for selected fields -- follows Manure Management GAAMPs -- based on soil P test level <150 lb/A (75 ppm) N rate 150 – 299 lb/A crop P removal rate ≥ 300 lb/A no manure ● decide on manure rate & record actual rate applied ● Nutrient Application Report shows: -- nutrient credits & nutrients applied; value of manure nutrients -- additional nutrients needed & estimated cost to purchase these
MSUNM (cont’d) 3) manure nutrient management (cont’d) ● can estimate quantities of manure nutrients produced on farm ● can determine if adequate crop land is available for sustainability ● determine manure application rates that follow GAAMPs criteria ● assist in preparing a MMSP (GAAMPs) or CNMP (MAEAP/CAFO permit)
MSUNM (cont’d) Using MSUNM is a 4-step process 1) establish ID’s for field/subfields, fertilizers, manures, manure spreaders, soil test/manure analysis labs 2) enter soil & manure test results, create crop plans, record management practices (planting, tilling, harvesting, fertilizer/lime/manure applications) 3) generate fertilizer recommendations, manure spreading guideline, farm nutrient balance (livestock), write NMP’s 4) print out various reports to use for management decision-making
