Balancing water-quality threats from nutrients and production in Australian and New Zealand dairy farms under low profit margins
(CSIRO Publishing, 2017-06)
The loss of nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) from dairy-farmed land can impair water quality. Efforts to curtail these losses in Australia and New Zealand (Australasia) have involved a mixture of voluntary and regulatory ...
A review of the policies and implementation of practices to decrease water quality impairment by phosphorus in New Zealand, the UK, and the US
(Springer Netherlands, 2016-04)
© 2015, Springer Science+Business Media Dordrecht. The improper use of phosphorus (P) on agricultural land in developed countries is related to P losses that impair surface water quality. We outline policy in New Zealand, ...
Using organic phosphorus to sustain pasture productivity: A perspective
(Elsevier, 2014-06)
Organic phosphorus (P) in grazed pastures/grasslands could sustain production systems that historically relied on inorganic P fertiliser. Interactions between inorganic P, plants and soils have been studied extensively. ...
Direct exports of phosphorus from fertilizers applied to grazed pastures
(Crop Science Society of America with the American Society of Agronomy and the Soil Science Society of America, 2019-08-21)
Since its discovery in 1669, phosphorus (P) in the form of fertilizer has become an essential input for many agroecosystems. By introducing a concentrated P source, fertilizers increase short-term P export potential soon ...
Phosphorus transport in subsurface flow from a stony soil under irrigated and non-irrigated lucerne
(Taylor & Francis on behalf of the Royal Society of New Zealand, 2020-07-29)
The extent of phosphorus (P) loss from soils under deep rooting crops such as lucerne is currently unknown. This study used large lysimeters (2.0 by 1.5 m) to quantify the amounts and forms of P in drainage under lucerne ...
Analysis of potentially mobile phosphorus in arable soils using solid state nuclear magnetic resonance
(American Society of Agronomy, Crop Science Society of America, and Soil Science Society of America, 2002)
In many intensive agroecosystems continued inputs of phosphorus (P) over many years can significantly increase soil P concentrations and the risk of P loss to surface waters. For this study we used solid-state ³¹P nuclear ...
Quantifying contaminant losses to water from pastoral landuses in New Zealand II. The effects of some farm mitigation actions over the past two decades
(Taylor & Francis on behalf of the Royal Society of New Zealand, 2021-01-28)
In New Zealand the primary sector together with central and local government agencies have been promoting measures to mitigate the adverse effect of farming practices on water quality over the last few decades. We assessed ...
A review of the cost-effectiveness and suitability of mitigation strategies to prevent Phosphorus loss from dairy farms in New Zealand and Australia
(American Society of Agronomy, Crop Science Society of America, and Soil Science Society of America, Inc., 2012-05)
The loss of phosphorus (P) from land to water is detrimental to
surface water quality in many parts of New Zealand and Australia.
Farming, especially pasture-based dairying, can be a source of P
loss, but preventing it ...
Relationship between sediment chemistry, equilibrium phosphorus concentrations, and phosphorus concentrations at baseflow in rivers of the New Zealand National River Water Quality Network
(American Society of Agronomy, Inc., 2015-05)
Stream sediments can act as a source or a sink of dissolved (filtered) phosphorus (P) via abiotic and biotic processes. The cumulative action and magnitude of abiotic processes has been quantified by the equilibrium P ...
A cost-effective management practice to decrease phosphorus loss from dairy farms
(American Society of Agronomy, Crop Science Society of America, and Soil Science Society of America, 2014-11)
Phosphorus (P) loss from land can impair surface water quality. A paired-catchment study was conducted on a grazed dairy farm that tested the hypothesis that cultivating and sowing a low-P-requiring grass in near stream ...
