If you apply manure above your placement capacity (170 kg N/ha from 2026), you risk inspection and enforcement by the NVWA. This article gives an indication of possible consequences and how to avoid surplus.
Possible consequences
The level of fines and measures depends on the exceedance and circumstances. The NVWA can impose sanctions and in serious cases spreading may be stopped. Always check official RVO and NVWA information.
