Let's Build a Nutrient Plan That Works for Your Operation
Whether you need a new Nutrient Management Plan or an update to your existing one, our registered Professional Agrologists are ready to help.
Nutrient management planning is one of Pacific Agriculture's most established service areas. A well-designed plan brings together your soil data, crop requirements, and available nutrient sources into a clear, field-specific strategy that improves crop performance, reduces input costs, and protects the surrounding environment.
Whether you manage field crops, horticultural production, or a livestock operation with significant manure volumes, our plans are built on your specific data and tailored to your land base. We also provide ongoing soil fertility interpretation and compliance support, ensuring your nutrient strategy stays current as your operation and the regulatory environment evolve.
From initial soil sampling to ongoing compliance support, we provide complete nutrient management services tailored to your operation.
We prepare comprehensive, regulation-ready Nutrient Management Plans that integrate your soil test data, crop nutrient requirements, and available nutrient sources into a practical, field-specific application strategy.
Accurate soil sampling is the foundation of a good NMP. We design and conduct systematic sampling programs, submit samples to accredited laboratories, and provide detailed interpretation of results.
For livestock operations, manure is both a valuable nutrient resource and a regulatory concern. We develop manure management plans that account for storage capacity, application windows, setbacks, and agronomic loading rates.
Ongoing documentation of nutrient applications is a regulatory requirement for many BC farm operations. We help you establish practical record-keeping systems that satisfy compliance requirements and support agronomic decision-making.
Fertilizer is one of the largest variable costs on most farms. We use your soil and yield data to develop precise application budgets that optimize crop performance while reducing unnecessary expenditure and environmental loading.
Nutrient Management Plans should be reviewed and updated periodically to reflect changes in your operation, soil conditions, and the regulatory environment. We provide ongoing review and amendment services to keep your plan current and compliant.
Nutrient management on BC farmland is regulated under the Code of Practice for Agricultural Environmental Management (BC Reg 8/2019) and related provincial legislation. Operations that generate or apply nutrients above defined thresholds are required to prepare and implement Nutrient Management Plans authored by a registered agrologist or other qualified professional.
Beyond the regulatory requirement, a well-prepared NMP is a practical farm management tool. It provides field-specific guidance on application rates, timing, and methods that protect soil health, protect water quality, and help you get the most value from the nutrients you are applying.
Every NMP we prepare is authored and sealed by a registered Professional Agrologist, providing the professional accountability and defensibility that regulators and funding programs require.
The number of animal units or volume of nutrients applied determines whether a regulated NMP is required. We can help you assess your obligation.
An outdated NMP creates compliance risk. Plans should reflect your current land base, nutrient sources, and crop program.
A regulated NMP must be prepared by a registered Professional Agrologist or other qualified professional. Every plan we prepare is authored and sealed by our agrologists.
