Bremen State Fertilizer Ordinance (BremLDüV).

The Bremen State Fertilizer Ordinance was introduced to protect water bodies from contamination by nitrate from agricultural sources. This ordinance provides additional requirements for the use of fertilizers, soil additives, growing media and plant additives on agricultural land with the aim of protecting water bodies from nitrate pollution. The ordinance applies to agricultural land within the areas of a groundwater body that have been identified as areas contaminated with nitrate. The ordinance stipulates that certain fertilizers must be incorporated into uncultivated arable land immediately; violations of the provisions of the ordinance may be considered an administrative offense and subject to fines. The ordinance contains 6 Articles and one Appendix.
