The national action programme for the implementation of the nitrates directive sets general limits on the application of chemical fertiliser and organic manures, including poultry litter, to land in line with crop needs, as well as setting down requirements on the timing and method of application. Detailed draft regulations to give effect to the action programme have been published by the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government. These are currently the subject of a consultative process.
