Fertiliser Use

An Environmental Sustainability Indicator.

Brief Description: The total amount of fertiliser used in maintaining a service. A particular emphasis might be given to the nitrogen content, which is more prone to leaching. Total nutrient content use may be considered as the indicator required; alternatively, different sub-categories might be considered for the major nutrients; nitrogen; phosphorus; potassium. Other sub-categories might be considered such as whether the fertiliser is organic (natural) or inorganic (& synthetic).
