Agricultural Best Management Practices (BMPs) are practical measures that producers can take to reduce the amount of fertilizers, animal waste, and other pollutants entering our water resources. BMPs are designed to improve water quality while maintaining agricultural production. The Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (FDACS) has adopted BMPs for most commodities in the state. Each BMP manual covers key aspects of water quality and water conservation. Typical best management practices include:
Nutrient Management practices to determine nutrient needs of crops, and consideration of nutrient sources (including manure), application rates, timing of nutrient application, and placement of nutrients to minimize impacts to water resources.
Irrigation Management practices to address the method and scheduling of irrigation events to minimize water and nutrient losses to the environment.
Water Resource Protection practices that use buffers and setbacks to reduce or prevent
the transport of nutrients and sediments from production areas to waterbodies
