To fill columns 1-5 from the field plan indicating the estimated yield.
To fill columns 6-8 using the soil agrochemical data from the laboratory analyses.
In columns 9-11 to write the nutrient amount taken from soil (Annex 3.4.) multiplied by the expected yield.
To calculate the nutrient uptake from manure (columns 12-14) using Annex 3.3. To take first and second year uptake of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium from manure from Table 3.1 in Chapter 3.
To calculate the need of mineral fertilizer (columns 15-20) for crops that are fertilised by manure as following:
Crop need for nutrients (columns 9-11) minus the amount of nutrients uptake from manure (columns 12-14).
To calculate nitrogen need in the form of ammonium nitrate keeping in mind that it contains 34 kg N per 100 kg.
To calculate phosphorus need in the form of super-phosphate keeping in mind that it contains 20 kg P2O5 per 100 kg.
To calculate potassium need in the form of potassium chloride keeping in mind that it contains 60 kg K2O per 100 kg.


Notes:         1. The need of other fertilisers is calculated according to the nutrient concentration in those fertilisers.
        2. If nutrient storage in soil is sufficient, the fertilisation plan is made according to the amount of nutrients taken up by harvest. When the storage of some nutrient is not sufficient, the fertilization plan has to be adjusted correspondingly.
