Closing period for manure spreading in the Rottal-Inn: New date until February 2026!
The current developments in the area of fertilizer policy have also caused a stir in the Rottal-Inn district. According to that Bavarian Farmers' Association The closure period for manure spreading was postponed due to the weather. Accordingly, the new blocking period applies from November 15, 2025 to February 14, 2026 inclusive.
This shift particularly affects fertilizers with higher nitrogen contents. However, solid manure from hoofed or hoofed animals and composts are excluded from this. The regulation applies to grassland, permanent grassland and arable farming with perennial forage cultivation, provided that the sowing took place before May 15, 2025.
Regional effects and blackout periods
It is also interesting that no distinction is made between red and non-red areas in the district. The new regulations not only apply to Rottal-Inn, but also affect the districts of Freyung-Grafenau, Kelheim, Landshut, Passau, Regen and Straubing-Bogen as well as the independent cities of Landshut, Passau and Straubing. In addition, the provisions of the Fertilizer Ordinance remain unaffected. In particular, fertilizing remains prohibited on flooded, water-saturated, frozen or snow-covered soils.
Compliance with N upper limits must also be taken into account. These regulations are part of a broader concept for the efficient use of fertilizers, which is also reflected in other publications such as Agricultural specialist information, is explained in detail. It emphasizes that the optimal use of manure depends heavily on the correct application time and that autumn fertilization on arable land is not recommended due to the increased nitrogen shift.
Adaptation to the fertilizer regulations
According to the Federal Ministry of Agriculture These adjustments are part of a broader strategy to optimize the regulatory framework for fertilizers and to ensure that nutrients are available to plants in optimal proportions. The fertilizer regulation is intended to help protect health and the natural balance while at the same time preserving soil fertility.
Another aspect is that the reduction of nitrate inputs into the environment is also being promoted through national action programs. These need to be checked every four years and should help to improve opaque fertilization practices. Ultimately, it is clear: the sustainable use of nutrients is not only the order of the day, but a necessity in order to secure the agricultural future beyond Rottal-Inn.
In view of these developments, farmers and businesses should pay close attention to the specified deadlines and regulations in order to manage their fields sustainably and efficiently.
