Resumen

This Ministerial Decision, consisting of 10 articles completed by eight Annexes, establishes the Code of Good Agricultural Practice for the Protection of Waters from Nitrates of Agricultural Origin. The Code is intended to provide a guidance for the application of good agricultural practices for agricultural and livestock activities in order to protect the environment while at the same time safeguarding their income. In particular, the Code is aimed at avoiding pollution of ground and surface waters by nitrates, which are derived from the following activities: fertilizers with nitrogen compounds or treated livestock waste or pasture where they graze animals and deposit manure. This Code applies throughout the country. However, for those engaged in agricultural and livestock activities whose holdings are located in the vulnerable zones, additional provisions set out in the Action Plans apply. This code includes: a) Definitions (Article 3); b) Good Agricultural Practices for the application of nitrogenous fertilizers (Article 4; c) Good Agricultural Practices for the storage and transport o nitrogen fertilizers (Article 5); d) Good Agricultural Practices for the management of animal waste in livestock farms (Article 6); e) Good Agricultural Practice for the application of animal husbandry waste to the soils (Article 7); f) agricultural practices for irrigation (Article 8).
