43. Introducing the new nutrient management planning tool on GOV.UK

Published on February 11th, 2026

Apply too little and crops won’t reach their potential. Apply too much and fertiliser, slurry and other organic materials are wasted, costs rise, and the risk of nutrients running into rivers and streams increases.


Good nutrient planning helps you get the best from your crops, keeps costs down and reduces harm to the environment.

To make this easier, we’ve created a new online tool: the Plan and Manage Nutrient Applications Tool.
