Nutrient sources should not be applied when soils are frozen, soil covered, or saturated with water.
INCORRECT
Answer A: True
The application of nutrients on soils that are frozen, snow-covered or saturated with water, increases the potential for runoff to surface water. Field work on very wet soils can lead to soil compaction and ruts in the field. In some provinces, farmers are required through regulation to apply nutrient sources (specifically manure) within a specific period of time.
