The Contracting Parties shall develop guidelines, which will include the following elements and will report on it to the Commission. Regulation 2: plant nutrients the Contracting Parties of the substance of the basic principles listed below include their national legislation or guidelines to suit existing conditions the country reduce the adverse impact of agriculture on the environment. The requirements listed will be considered as the minimum basis of national legislation. 1. the density of Livestock in order to ensure that organic fertiliser not be produced more than the area of arable land, must respect the balance between the number of domestic animals on the farm and land application of fertilizer to steeply sloping land areas available, in terms of the density of livestock. Maximum number of pets is to be determined in the light of the phosphorus and nitrogen content in organic shit and crop requirements for substances of plant biogēnaj. 2. Manure storage manure storage repositories to be so high as to prevent loss. Storage capacity must be sufficiently large to ensure that incorporate manure only when the plants are able to use the nutrient substances. The minimum storage time must be six months. Urine and slurry stores should be covered or otherwise secured as to prevent ammonia evaporation effectively. 3. Agricultural waste water and silage juices leaking sewage from livestock housing must be stored in urine or slurry stores or managed in a different manner to prevent pollution. Leaks from silage (silage juices) preparation and storage must be collected and transmitted to the urine or šķidrmēsl repositories. 4. Organic manure land application of organic fertiliser (slurry, urine, manure, sewage sludge, compost, etc.) should be incorporated in order to reduce nutrient inputs of plant loss. The land application of fertilizer is not permitted on frozen soil, pārmitr soils or on the snow. Organic fertiliser after spreading on bare soil as soon as possible should be incorporated into the soil. You must define the periods when the land application of fertilizer is not allowed. 5. the incorporation of plant nutrient inputs of nutrient Loadings of substances may not exceed the crop needs. Fertilizer application of the national guidelines must be developed, taking into account: (a) the conditions and nutrients) soil the content of it, soil type and slope of the hillsides; b) climatic conditions and irrigation; c) land use and agricultural management, including cereal rotation system; d) all external potential nutrient inputs sources. 6. Winter crops occupied areas in some districts of the areas cultivated in sufficient amounts in the winter and autumn must be occupied with crops, to effectively prevent the loss of plant nutrient inputs. 7. Water protection measures and bar nutrient inputs for the reduction of losses (a)) surface water where necessary, the protection zone, transition zone between water and land ecosystems and tailings ponds. b) groundwater needed to create underground water reserves. Here to apply appropriate measures, such as reduced fertilizer dose, the prohibition to incorporate organic fertilizers and perennial Lawn area. c) nutrient inputs of the area for the reduction of losses to reduce plant nutrient substance leaks and maintain biodiversity, should be maintained and, where possible, to restore the wetlands. 3. rule: plant protection products plant protection products must be stored and must be used only in accordance with national law, which should be based on best environmental practice (BEP) approach. The strategy should be based on the existing problems and determine appropriate research objectives. It should include measures such as: 1. the Registration and authorisation of plant protection products may not be sold, imported or used until the public authorities the following objectives have not registered or approved by the. 2. the storage and management of the plant protection product storage and management is a must to prevent the leak and the risk of leaks. Dangerous areas are transportation, loading and cleaning of equipment. Any plant protection product being processed for distribution outside the agricultural areas must be eliminated. Residues of plant protection products must be disposed of according to national legislation. 3. the License must be requested a certificate of right to commercial use of plant protection products. To get the certificate, requires appropriate education and practical training in the use of plant protection products, minimum impact on health and the environment. Users ' knowledge of the use of plant protection products is systematically added. 4. Use of technology usage and technology practices must be such as to protect against unintended release of plant protection products. There is a need to promote the creation of protection zones along water bodies. Prohibited from processing to use airplanes; in exceptional cases, it should be aligned on the corresponding institutions. 5. Spraying technique test should encourage spraying technique of periodic inspection to ensure the success of the plant protection product use. 6. Alternative control methods should promote plant health control alternative methods. 4. rule: permission of environmental management for farms with livestock numbers, greater than a certain level, you must request permission for farm environmental impacts. 5. rule: environmental monitoring for Contracting Parties to develop the project to evaluate the effectiveness of the measures taken and the impact on the environment. 6. terms: education, information and advice service to the Contracting Parties to develop the education, information and advice service on environmental issues in agriculture.
