Presented and filmed August 3, 2009, at the Washington State University-Puyallup Farm Walk, Jeff Kallestad of the WSU Small Farms Program discusses riparian buffers using alternating plots of grass, Alder and Poplar as buffer zones.

Timing, Placement and Soil Testing Key to Preventing Phosphorus Losses

Edge-of-field monitoring on 17 farms in Wisconsin and Minnesota highlights the need for no-tillers to apply ‘P’ under the soil surface and sample soils at varying depths.

University of Missouri agronomists found corn and soybean yields increase by 20% or more when they use drainage control systems.

6 Tips for Keeping ‘P’ in Fields and Out of Local Water Sources

While researchers find more phosphorus is leaving fields via tile, here’s what no-tillers can do to keep their fertility in their fields.

When proper site conditions and design considerations are met, saturated buffers can be an effective method for reducing nitrate transport from subsurface drainage systems.

Scientists: Glyphosate Contributes to Phosphorus Runoff in Lake Erie

Low soil pH and certain metals are causing glyphosate to release phosphorus from the soil, which is responsible for about 25% of dissolved reactive phosphorus runoff in the Maumee watershed.

By Laura Barrera posted on June 11, 2016 | Posted in Crop Protection, Nutrient Management

Scientists now know that the increase in dissolved reactive phosphorus (DRP) runoff that’s been plaguing the western Lake Erie basin is mostly coming from farms located in the Maumee watershed.
