The province's nutrient application deadline has once again been extended due to warm weather conditions.

Producers can apply nutrients until midnight on November 21st.

Nutrients can only be surface applied if they are immediately incorporated and nutrients should not be applied in instances where the weather outlook is unfavourable, such as if snow or an appreciable amount of rainfall is expected that would result in run-off.

Restrictions are designed to ensure nutrients are not applied when the ground is frozen and to protect the water quality of Manitoba's lakes and rivers by reducing nutrient loading to waterways.
