PWCP Applications
BMP: Nitrogen Management
-
Example : ESN
-
85% increased cost of PCU fertilizer compared to regular nitrogen
-
Applicants cannot apply PCUs and dual inhibitors on the same acres and receive funding for both.
Polymer Coated Urea (PCU)
-
Soil Testing and Soil Mapping must be accompanied by another PWCP-funded practice (previous PWCP-funded projects count as accompanying)
-
OR the applicant must report on the change in nitrogen fertilizer use (fertilizer rates before and after the soil testing/mapping).
Soil Testing and Mapping
-
Use of Combined Nitrification and Urease Inhibitors or use of dual inhibitors
-
85% of inhibitor cost
-
Applicants cannot apply PCUs and dual inhibitors on the same acres and receive funding for both
Nitrogen Inhibitors
-
To reduce nitrogen volatilization
-
Use of Combined Nitrification and Urease Inhibitors or use of dual inhibitors
-
85% of inhibitor cost
-
Applicants cannot apply PCUs and dual inhibitors on the same acres and receive funding for both
Manure Integration
-
Upgrading Seeder Equipment to Allow for Banding / Side Dressing / Injection of Fertilizer
-
$200/ft
Upgrading Seeder Equipment
-
Split Application of Fertilizer to improve Nitrogen use
-
85% of implementation costs of second pass
Split Application of Fertilizer
-

Synthetic Fertilizer Substitutes
BMP: Rotational Grazing
-
Cross-fencing (Permanent & Temp), within an already existing perimeter fenceline to support the rotational grazing plan
-
Watering Systems to support the rotational grazing plan
-
Improved pasture compositions by seeding legumes such as alfalfa
-
