Agricultural waste products (unused portions of crops or waste products from processing) including have the potential to contribute nutrients and should be managed in a manner that prevents nutrient contamination to surface and ground waters. Consideration should be given to the amount of raw waste generated, the nutrient content of the waste product, and recognition that nutrient loading depends on the way in which the waste is handled after harvest. Most vegetable waste, such as sweet corn fodder, cull ears and husks can be used as a green manure by applying it to production fields.
