Last updated: December 2006 Summary: A nutrient budget provides an estimate of all the nutrient inputs (including fertiliser, dairy effluent, feed supplements, atmospheric, irrigation and clover nitrogen fixation) and outputs (including product, transfer of dung and urine, leaching and atmospheric) for a block of land or farm system, so that a nutrient balance can be derived. A nutrient budget can be used as a tool to ensure that nutrient outputs are being replaced by inputs or that excessive amounts of nutrients such as nitrogen and phosphorus are not being lost to the environment.
