SNAP-Plus is a Microsoft Windows® based Nutrient Management Planning software program designed for the preparation of nutrient management plans in accordance with Wisconsin’s Nutrient Management Standard Code 590. The program is available free of charge for download from the “Current Version” link. This release of Snap-Plus addresses issues found since the September 2007 version 1.121. SNAP-Plus will calculate: • Crop nutrient (N, P2O5, K2O) recommendations for all fields on a farm taking into account legume N and manure nutrient credits consistent with University of Wisconsin recommendations • A RUSLE2-based soil loss assessment that will allow producers to determine whether fields that receive fertilizer or manure applications meet tolerable soil loss (T) requirements. • A rotational Phosphorus Index value for all fields as required for using the P Index for phosphorus management. • A rotational P balance for using soil test P as the criteria for phosphorus management. Updates are released periodically to add new features and bug fixes. The main changes and improvements available in the current version of Snap-Plus are listed below by the menu or screen where they appear in the program.
