I am stocked at 110.

1. I have soil test results. Do they need to be uploaded to agfood?
2. how do I calculate how much P and K I am allowed per ha? (Organic).

My answer won't be much good to probably without an answer from an expert, but the soil results will be only used by you for your own calculation as to how much P you can use. They're not uploaded anywhere.

Where they come to light is when you have an inspection. The inspector will have your fertiliser usage from the register and then will ask for your soil record to ensure you stayed within usage limits.

The dept should have a ready reckoner that you can use, but I do think it's envisaged that when you submit your BISS next year there will be a reckoner on that to enable you to know what you can use for the year.

Someone here might have a link to some very simple reckoner

on that’s good. I wasn’t sure if needed to be uploaded now. Just for inspection.

I was sure I saw a table which detailed how many kg of P and K you are allowed depending on what index you are for each.

page 44 here is similar to one of the tables I saw summaried somewhere else. Is there a similar one for K….

K you can spread a much as you like. The issus with water is down to the N and P element

Thank. The amounts I am planning on is pretty minute in any case as organic stuff is $$$$

600 ish for a 600kg of 11%P and

1050 for a 1 tonne of 42%K.

You need a fertiliser plan. It will tell you what fertiliser can be spread on each field.

An independent or teagasc advisor can draw up one.or maybe an advisor with the local COOP. Or whom ever you get your fertiliser.
