Organic manure suppliers must submit records by year’s end

One of the aims of the nitrates regulations is to encourage the efficient use of organic fertilisers (any fertiliser other than that manufactured industrially).

Each cubic metre of slurry/manure contains 4.2kg of total nitrogen (N) and 0.8kg of phosphorus (P) (unless another level of these nutrients is established, in compliance with Article 34 of the regulations).
