§ 3 Principles applicable to the application

(1) Prior to the application of substantial amounts of nutrients to nitrogen or phosphate with fertilizers, soil adjuvants, culture substrates and plant aids, the fertilizer requirements of the crop must be determined in a proper way. Requirements for the maintenance of site-based soil fertility must also be taken into account. The determination of fertilizer demand must be carried out in such a way as to ensure a balance between the expected nutrient requirements and the supply of nutrients. (2) The determination of the fertilizer demand shall be carried out for each stroke or each Management unit, taking into account the following factors:

1.

the nutrient requirements of the plant stock for the yields and qualities to be expected under the respective locus and cultivation conditions, in which case nitrogen shall be used in accordance with Appendix 1,

2.

the quantities of nutrients available in the soil and likely to be produced during the growth of the plant stock as a result of the conditions of the site, in particular the climate, the type of soil and the type of soil, and also the quantities of nutrients which are available for plant production, and the determination of the nutrient content,

a)

for the supply of nitrogen from the pre-culture during growth, the values set out in Appendix 2 and

b)

for the utilization of nitrogen from organic fertilisers the values according to Appendix 3

to use

3.

the lime content or the soil reaction (pH) and the humus content of the soil,

4.

the quantities of nutrients which are supplied by management, with the exception of fertilisation, including irrigation, and which are used during the growth of the plant population,

5.

the cultivation conditions affecting the availability of nutrients, in particular the species of culture, prefruity, soil cultivation and irrigation.

In addition, results of regional field trials are to be used. (3) Before the application of essential nutrient quantities, the amounts of nutrients available in the soil are to be determined by the plant.

1.

for nitrogen at each stroke or management unit-except on permanent pasture land-at the time of fertilisation, at least annually,

a)

by examining representative samples or

b)

in accordance with the recommendation of the advisory body responsible for agricultural advice in accordance with the law of the country or of a guidance institution recommended by

aa)

by taking over the results of studies of comparable sites, or

bb)

through application of calculation and estimation procedures based on subject-specific knowledge.

The sampling and testing shall be carried out in accordance with the provisions of the competent authority according to the country's law.

2.

for phosphate, on the basis of the study of representative soil samples to be carried out for each stroke of one hectare, usually within the framework of a crop rotation, at least every six years. Excluded are areas in accordance with § 5 (4) no. 2.

Soil studies shall be carried out by a laboratory approved by the competent authority in accordance with other rules. (4) The time and quantity of application shall be such as for fertilisers, soil adjuvants, culture substrates or plant-based auxiliaries. (5) The application of fertilisers, soil adjuvants and culture substrates to the plants as far as possible. (5) The application of fertilisers, soil adjuvants and culture substrates , and plant aids with essential nutrient contents Nitrogen or phosphate must not be carried out if the soil is flooded, water-saturated, frozen or continuously covered with snow more than five centimetres. By way of derogation from the first sentence, lime fertilizers may be applied to frozen soil in accordance with Appendix 1, Section 1 of the Fertilizer Regulation, containing less than two hundred phosphate (P (deep) 2O (deep) 5). (6) Soil excipients, culture substrates and plant auxiliaries with essential nutrient contents of nitrogen or phosphate is

1.

direct entry of nutrients into supernatural waters by maintaining a distance of at least three metres between the edge of the area of application determined by the spreading width and the upper edge of the slope of the above-ground surface to avoid water pollution,

2.

to ensure that there is no sweat in above-ground waters.

By way of derogation from the first sentence of paragraph 1, the distance shall be at least one metre, to the extent that, in order to discharge the substances in accordance with the first sentence, use shall be made of equipment in which the spreading width corresponds to the working width or which have a border spreader device. (7) On arable land which, within a distance of 20 metres from the upper edge of a river, has an average slope of more than 10 of the hundred to that body of water (heavily inclined areas), may be placed inside the same area. Fertilisers with an essential nutrient content of nitrogen, or Phosphate within a distance of three metres to the upper edge of the embankment and, incidentally, are only applied as follows:

1.

within the range between three and ten metres from the upper edge of the embankment, only if the fertilizers are introduced directly into the soil,

2.

on the remaining part of the area

a)

in the case of uncultivated arable land, only with immediate incorporation,

b)

on cultivated arable land

aa)

with rice culture (45 centimetres in rows and more) only in the case of developed undersaat or with immediate incorporation,

bb)

without horse culture, only if there is sufficient stock development, or

cc)

after application of mulch or direct saat procedures.

The first sentence of paragraph 1 shall not apply to the application of fixed-mist, except for poultry cots. The requirements of sentence 1 No. 2 apply to the application of festmist for the entire area between three and 20 meters distance to the upper edge of the embankment. Paragraph 6 shall remain unaffected. (8) Paragraphs 6 and 7 shall not apply to water bodies to the extent that they are excluded from its application in accordance with § 2 (2) of the Water Resources Act. (9) Water-law distance and management schemes that are applicable to the water The provisions of paragraphs 6 and 7 shall remain unaffected. (10) Equipment for the delivery of fertilizers, soil adjuvants, culture substrates or plant aids must comply with the generally accepted rules of technology. The application of substances in accordance with the first sentence of 1 January 2010 shall be prohibited by means of equipment according to Appendix 4. Equipment which has been put into service by 14 January 2006 may, by way of derogation from the second sentence, be used until 31 December 2015 for the application. Unofficial table of contents
