Farm-based limit: Maximum organic N loading for land within NVZ (including grazing deposition)

Grassland limit = (A x 250)kg organic N/year

=

Non-Grassland limit = (B x 170)kg organic N/year

=

Overall Farm limit: For comparison with actual organic N produced by livestock on the holding

Overall Farm limit = (A x 250) + (B x 170)kg organic N/year
