Recital 17

(17) The use of RENURE fertilisers may also be associated with a risk of emissions of nitrogen through volatilisation from soils, especially in the case of fertilisers containing more than 60 % of nitrogen in forms other than nitrates and a pH higher than 5,5. Therefore, to avoid negative effects on the environment, appropriate fertiliser land application techniques should be observed such as injection, immediate incorporation of surface-applied materials, or equivalent measures.
