You should be aware of the rules and regulations imposed by the local government in order to comply and avoid any penalties. You should familiarize yourself with environmental regulations concerning water use and contamination, air quality, waste management, pesticide use limits, fertilizer runoff controls and soil health. Failure to comply with these legal requirements can result in hefty fines or sanctions from relevant authorities. Additionally, many agencies have also established monitoring programs that track environmental data related to agricultural activities so being mindful of these can help keep you out of trouble.

It is important for growers to be aware of the regulations put in place by local, state and federal governments regarding the use of chemical fertilizers. Environmental regulations may include limits on how much nitrogen and phosphorus can be applied to a crop, as well as reporting requirements to ensure that farmers are monitoring application rates and taking necessary corrective actions in case of excessive runoff or leaching. Additionally, chemical fertilizer users should be aware of any licenses required for its purchase or possession, as well any safety regulations if they plan on applying it manually instead of using an equipment like a spreader. Growers may also need an operator's license depending upon the machinery used to handle and transport chemical fertilizers. Furthermore, farmers who apply commercial fertilizers must pay attention to instructions written onto each product label about dosage instructions; failure to comply could lead them being penalized by authorities
