The PLANET England helpline has been discontinued. If you are in England and have a nutrient management or NVZ query you can contact the Farming Advice Service by emailing
advice@farmingadviceservice.org.uk
or calling 03000 200 301 (Monday to Friday, 8.30am to 5pm). Please note that the Farming Advice Service will be unable to assist with PLANET software queries.
There are a number of ‘Help’ guides available from within the PLANET software which provide general guidance on the use of PLANET. There is a list of Frequently Asked Questions available here
The PLANET Scotland helpline is now supported via the Scottish Farming Advisory Service who can be contacted by emailing
advice@fas.scot
or calling 0300 323 0161.
We politely ask you not to contact ADAS staff directly with PLANET England questions as funding for the helpline has been discontinued. Thank you for your understanding
2026 update: New online nutrient management planning tool
In February 2026, Defra announced the launch of a new web-based free-to-use
‘Plan and Manage Nutrient Applications Tool’ (NMPT-GB) to help farmers and advisers in England and Wales plan and record their nutrient use. The tool is an online replacement for the PLANET v.3.3 and MANNER-NPK nutrient management planning tools.
NMPT-GB is available now for England and Wales. Subsequent releases will include Scotland and expand functionality including importing data from PLANET. Registered PLANET users will be emailed when this functionality is available.
The PLANET data import functionality will allow users to migrate their existing PLANET data into a new farm file in NMPT-GB. Data imported from PLANET can only be used to create a new farm file and cannot be added to a NMPT-GB farm file after it is created.
NMPT-GB was developed by Defra, ADAS and RSK Business Solutions with support from the Agriculture and Horticulture Development Board (AHDB).
