Agronomic rate definition

Agronomic rate means the whole sludge application rate, on a dry weight basis, designed to provide the amount of nitrogen needed by the food crop, feed crop, fiber crop, cover crop or vegetation grown on the land, and designed to minimize the amount of nitrogen in the sewage sludge that passes below the root zone of the crop or vegetation grown on the land to the groundwater.

Agronomic rate means either of the following:

Agronomic rate means a rate of application of nutrients from any source to the land or an amount of nutrients removed by crop based on all of the following:

Examples of Agronomic rate in a sentence

• Agronomic rate is the whole sewage sludge application rate (dry-weight basis) designed to: (1) provide the amount of nitrogen needed by the crop or vegetation grown on the land; and (2) minimize the amount of nitrogen in the sewage sludge that passes below the root zone of the crop or vegetation grown on the land to the ground water.

• Agronomic rate" means an application rate of plant nutrients that is recommended to provide the optimum plant growth and be utilized by the crop.

• Agronomic rate is defined as the application rate of a material in or on the soil which enhances the fitness of a soil to support plant growth.

• Agronomic rate is generally based on the most limiting of two factors: lime equivalency or the crop nutrient requirement.

• Agronomic rate nutrient application would further minimize impacts.

Agronomic rate means the amount of waste and other materials applied to soil to meet the nitrogen needs of the crop, but does not overload the soil with nutrients or other constituents that cause or contribute to a contravention of surface water or groundwater standards, limit crop growth, or adversely impact soil quality. Nitrogen needs of the crop shall be based on realistic yield expectations (RYE) established for a soil series through published Cooperative Extension Service bulletins, Natural Resources Conservation Service publications, county soil surveys, or site specific agronomist reports.

Agronomic rate means the rate of application of reclaimed water and associated nutrients to plants that is necessary to satisfy the plants' nutritional and watering requirements while strictly minimizing the amount of nutrients that run off to surface waters or which pass below the root zone of the plants.

Agronomic rate means the whole sewage sludge application rate (dry weight basis) intended to provide the food crop, feed crop, fiber crop, cover crop, pasture, or vegetation the appropriate nitrogen for the reasonably expected yield, and to minimize the amount of nitrogen in the sewage sludge that passes to waters of the state.
