Teagasc proposes Nitrates Action Programme plan changes

Allowing 20 kg/ha of fertiliser phosphorous to be incorporated, when sowing for winter barley at soil P index 1 and 2 before October 31, is one of the amendments proposed by Teagasc, in the Nitrates Action Programme (NAP) consultation.

The consultation is part of the Irish review of the programme with the European Commission, with a view to putting in place an agreed NAP from 2018 to 2021.
