    The CAFRE nutrient calculators can help you answer some important questions about your farm business with regard to compliance with the Nitrates Action Programme (NAP).

    The five calculators will not just help you comply with the NAP nutrient limits, but they can also help:

    • make complex calculations and record keeping easier;
    • improve soil fertility and crop yields;
    • make potential savings on chemical fertiliser; and
    • improve water quality.

    Get online today and work out if you are complying with NAP nutrient limits!

    To date over 4,000 farmers have used the farm nutrient calculators. If you would like to start using the calculators, register today on the DAERA website.
