"Nutrient management plans have far more to offer than regulatory requirements."
Clive Deeley
GrowHow Advice & Services Manager
EnCompass produces the paperwork needed to record good practice and regulatory compliance. It also adapts and refines fertiliser recommendations to take account of soil nitrogen supply, varietal improvements, local knowledge and field history. Use nutrients efficiently to optimise crop yield and quality by targeting inputs to plant requirements and crop potential, benefiting both economically and reducing the environmental and carbon footprint.
New EnCompass, released in April 2010, is now more intuitive - making it quicker and easier to use. As specialist nutrient management software, it does require a good understanding of crop nutrition and is therefore provided through FACTS qualified advisers. There's a lot more to it than just plugging in a few numbers and getting a standard recommendation.
This new version is very practical, for instance in the fertiliser spreading report, the operator instruction sheets have been designed to help spreading operators ensure fertilisers are spread in the right place, at the right rate and the best time.
EnCompass is already used by GrowHow Advisers and Distributor Fieldsmen across the country.
Interested? Advisers new to the system may set up a few farms to try it out before progressing to a license for continued access. It is only by using the software that you can begin to understand just how useful it is.
