Minimizing Phosphorus Loss with 4R Stewardship and Cover Crops
IPNI-2014-USA-4RN26
Project Goal: The goal of this project is to protect water quality and maximize nutrient use efficiency while simultaneously providing producers with flexible management options for phosphorus (P) fertilizers. Read more
Interpretive Summary
The objectives of this research are to determine how interactions between cover crops and phosphorus (P) fertilizer management impact P loss, P use efficiency, crop yield, and net return. A watershed study at the Kansas Agricultural Watershed Field Laboratory (near Manhattan) has been established to address these objectives. The study consists of 18 small (1. 2 to 1. 5 acre) watersheds equipped with automated runoff monitoring equipment.
