Agronomic rates definition

Agronomic rates means those rates that provide the nitrogen and other nutrient needs of the crop based on available realistic yield expectations (RYE) established for a soil series through published Cooperative Extension Service bulletins, Natural Resources Conservation Service publications, or county soil surveys, but do not overload the soil with nutrients or other constituents that may eventually leach to groundwater, limit crop growth, or degrade soil quality.

Agronomic rates means the application rate (dry weight basis) that will provide the amount of nitrogen or other critical nutrient required for optimum growth of vegetation, and that will not result in the violation of applicable standards or requirements for the protection of ground or surface water as established under chapter 90.48 RCW, Water pollution control and related rules including chapter 173- 200 WAC, Water quality standards for ground waters of the state of Washington, and chapter 173-201A WAC, Water quality standards for surface waters of the state of Washington.

Agronomic rates are defined as means those rates that provide the nitrogen and other nutrient

Examples of Agronomic rates in a sentence

• Management practices are applicable to the land application of bulk non-EQ sewage sludge in the following areas: • Threatened or Endangered species• Flooded, frozen, or snow-covered land• Distance to waters of the United States• Agronomic rates.

• Agronomic rates incorporating pH may also aid in selection of the most effective cover crop.

• Agronomic rates are defined as those rates that provide the nitrogen and other nutrient needs of the crop, but do not overload the soil with nutrients or other constituents, which may eventually leach to groundwater, limit crop growth, or adversely impact soil quality.
