Objective: To help farmers set up crop management plans. A
crop management plan is a form in which the farmer each year
records his plan concerning the use of his/her arable land and,
after harvest, notes how the plan has been followed. The plan
includes information on soil quality, use of crops on each plot
as well as the amounts of seed, fertiliser and plan protection
chemicals used. The plans would be drafted and followed up
with the help of consultants who also perform the necessary
tests to establish e.g. the quality of soil as well as the need of
fertilisers and plant protection chemicals. The farmers would
also receive training to help them to draft, analyse and follow
up crop management plans without consultants after
the
commitment period
