**[NUTRIENT MANAGEMENT (CSP Enhancements) January 2005]{.mark}**

**Delaware Enhancement Activity Job Sheet N-1**

The nutrient management plan will meet the minimum requirements of the
590 standard, the Delaware nutrient management state law, and will be
reviewed annually by a certified nutrient management planner.

-   **[Utilize PSNT and split application \$2.00/acre]{.mark}**

[]{.mark}

The PSNT is a soil test for nitrate-nitrogen (NO~3~-N) developed for use
at the 4 to 6 leaf stage of corn to help in making more accurate N
fertilizer recommendations at side dressing time. The test uses the
NO~3~-N content of the top foot of soil as an estimate of the amount of
N available to the crop.

Split application is the process of matching nitrogen supply with crop
uptake during the growth periods. Initial nutrients will be 50% or less
of the total projected needs with the remainder applied during at least
one other growth period and based on soil or plant testing and/or
recommendations**.**

    \$8.00/ac]{.mark}**

[]{.mark}

Precision Ag technology consists of four major components:

-   Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver - Using Earth-orbiting
    satellites GPS receivers translate radio signals into precise
    geographic coordinates on the targeted cropland.

```{=html}
<!-- -->
```
-   Record Keeping -- Keep written or electronic records of inputs,
    yields, etc. to manage precise fertilizer and pesticide input
    applications.

-   Yield monitoring Systems - Yields in the field are measured using
    combine-mounted sensors or volume meters. A GPS receiver mounted on
    the combine supplies coordinates so that estimates of yields can be
    assigned to small areas of a field to create a yield map.
