A new nutrient planning tool (NMPT-GB) has been launched to help farmers and land managers optimize fertilizer and manure use, reducing waste and pollution while supporting productivity. The web-based tool matches nutrient inputs to crop and soil needs, enabling users to create and revise nutrient management plans. Available in England and Wales via GOV.UK, NMPT-GB aligns with regulations including Nitrate Vulnerable Zones requirements. Developed by Defra, AHDB, RSK ADAS, and RSK Business Solutions, the tool uses guidance from the AHDB Nutrient Management Guide. Farmers can access it free, with a Scotland rollout planned for later this year. The tool is voluntary and designed to simplify compliance with nutrient regulations.
