utrient management plans track all sources of nutrients used in cropping systems. Farmers now have more viable nutrient management plans than ever and are using them to help ensure efcient, environmentally responsible use of fertilizer, while achieving maximum economic yields. Over the past 40 years, the use of fertilizers, precision application methods and other agronomic technologies have enabled North American farmers to triple crop production while using less land. Working with researchers and the farm community, the fertilizer industry is continually developing practices that support economic sustainability and at the same time protect the environment. Enhanced efciency fertilizers are a part of that effort. They improve nutrient
