A site-specific component of a conservation plan. The DIA-140 is developed for a client to address one or more resource concerns on farms transitioning to certified organic production where related conservation activities and/or practices will be planned and implemented. The plan describes how to implement long-term goals through practices that direct farm development to provide for intended future uses.
|
144 |
DIA |
Fish and Wildlife Habitat |
Plan, design and document the conservation practices needed to address a fish or wildlife habitat resource concern.
A fish and wildlife habitat Design and Implementation Activity (DIA) is a site-specific plan developed for a client who wishes to plan and implement decisions with consideration for fish and wildlife habitat.
|
148 |
DIA |
Pollinator Habitat |
Plan, design and document the conservation practices needed to address a pollinator habitat resource concern.
A pollinator habitat enhancement plan is a site-specific plan developed for a client that addresses the improvement, protection, restoration, enhancement, or expansion of flower-rich habitat that supports native and/or managed pollinators.
|
157 |
DIA |
Nutrient Management |
Design the rate, source, placement, and timing of plant nutrients and soil amendments while reducing environmental impacts. Implementation requirements for Conservation Practice Standard (CPS) 590 Nutrient Management along with other supporting conservation practices are developed.
Nutrient management plans are documents of record, establishing how nutrients will be managed including the Rate, Source, Placement and Timing of plan nutrients for plant production while addressing identified resource concerns including the offsite movement of nutrients. Prepare plans in collaboration with the producer and/or landowner design them to help the producer implement and maintain an effective nutrient application plan based on available sources.
|
158 |
DIA |
Feed Management |
A feed management plan is a farm-specific plan developed for a client, to document control of the quantity and quality of available nutrients, feedstuffs, and/or additives fed to livestock and poultry. |
159 |
DIA |
Grazing Management |
Manage the harvest of vegetation with grazing and/or browsing animals with the intent to achieve specific ecological, economic and management objectives. Plan prescribed grazing to accomplish one or more purposes described in the conservation practice following general criteria, considerations and operation and maintenance.
A Grazing Management Design and Implementation Activity (DIA) is a site-specific plan developed for a client who wishes to plan and implement decisions on land where grazing related activities or practices will be planned and applied.
|
160 |
DIA |
Prescribed Burning |
Planned fire applied to a predetermined area to accomplish one or more of the purposes described in the conservation practice standard following general criteria, considerations and operation and maintenance.
A Prescribed Burning Design and Implementation Activity (DIA) is a site-specific plan developed for a client who wishes to plan and implement decisions on land where prescribed burning related activities or practices will be planned and applied.
|
161 |
DIA |
Pest Management Conservation System |
Pest Management Conservation System manages pests using a combination of conservation practices and Prevention, Avoidance, Monitoring, and Suppression (PAMS) techniques. It addresses beneficial organism, plant pressure, surface, and groundwater impacts.
Pest management plans are documents of record establishing how pests will be managed while addressing identified resource concerns including plant pest pressure, beneficial organisms, and the movement of pesticides. These plans are prepared in collaboration with producer and/or landowner and designed to help the producer implement and maintain an effective plan for the management of pests from available sources.

164 |
DIA |
Drainage Water Management Design |
Design the drainage volume and water table elevation by regulating the flow from a surface or subsurface agricultural drainage system. Implementation requirements for CPS 554 Drainage Water Management along with other supporting conservation practices are developed.
|
165 |
DIA |
Forest Management |
Design conservation practices found in a site specific Forest Management Plan (CPA 106) or that address the planned practices to meet conservation objectives.
A site-specific forestry activity, as a component of a forest management plan. The DIA-165 is developed for a client to address one or more resource concerns on nonindustrial private forestland where forestry-related conservation activities and/or practices will be planned and implemented.
