A new version of the Snap-Plus nutrient management planning software for cropland and grazing land in Wisconsin is available. Snap-Plus is easily downloaded from the web site www.snapplus.net. This software facilitates planning manure and fertilizer applications to meet crop production goals while following state guidelines for water quality protection. Along with numerous usability improvements, this new version includes updated UW-Extension soil fertility recommendations and National Resources Conservation Services soil survey mapping unit information. New features to help planners include:
- Corn nitrogen recommendations use the MRTN (Maximum Return to Nitrogen) method starting in crop year 2007, and both the N:corn price ratio and the range-point used for setting the recommendation can be reset for individual or multiple fields;
- Application rates for manures directly deposited by animals can now be calculated with the Grazing Nutrient Rate Calculator;
- Warning messages appear when nitrogen applications are in excess of Nutrient Management Standard 590 guidelines.
More about these changes and other improvements can be found by clicking “Latest News” on the Snap-Plus web site www.snapplus.net.
