    Nutrient Management Program

    Learn More

    Florida's growers need fertilizer recommendations that are up-to-date and specific to sites where they grow their crops. UF/IFAS is conducting state-funded research into the application of nutrients (fertilizers) to agronomic, vegetable, and fruit crops in order to update IFAS nutrient management recommendations using a "4Rs plus one" concept: right rate, right source, right timing, right placement... plus right water management. IFAS recommendations are congruent with Florida Dept. of Agriculture and Consumer Services Best Management Practices (BMPs) implemented by producers to grow their crops efficiently while minimizing environmental impacts.

    The UF/IFAS Nutrient Management Program website is designed to be a one-stop shop for all information relating to the latest nutrient research and updated IFAS recommendations.
