The Lower Platte North Natural Resources District (NRD) would like to remind producers of the LPNNRD chemigation policies that will be enforced this year, released information says.
Chemigation is the practice of applying agrichemicals to cropland using an irrigation system to distribute both water and chemical. Research has shown that spoon feeding or split application of nitrogen is a benefit to the producer resulting in yield increases and healthier crops.
To legally apply chemicals or fertilizers through an irrigation system, producers must obtain a chemigation certification license, an active permit from the local NRD and proper safety equipment, released information says.
