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 ...
The efficacy of good practice to prevent long-term leaching losses of phosphorus from an irrigated dairy farm
(Elsevier, 2019-03-01)
Phosphorus (P) can be leached from intensive land uses, including grazed dairy farming. There is some evidence to suggest that P-leaching can enrich groundwater, especially where fertiliser or farm dairy effluent P (FDE) ...
The mitigation of phosphorus losses from a water-repellent soil used for grazed dairy farming
(Elsevier, 2020-03-15)
Phosphorus (P) losses via surface runoff can be large. Soil water repellency (SWR) occurs in warm and dry conditions. If SWR coincides with P fertiliser applications, the risk of P loss by surface runoff may increase. ...
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. ...
Effects of lime and organic amendments derived from varied source materials on cadmium uptake by potato
(American Society of Agronomy, Crop Science Society of America, and Soil Science Society of America, Inc., 2017-07)
Repeated applications of Cd-rich phosphate fertilizers have resulted in elevated concentrations of this toxic element in some New Zealand soils. Exceedance of the food safety standard for Cd (0.1 mg kg⁻¹ fresh weight) has ...
Quantifying contaminant losses to water from pastoral land uses in New Zealand III. What could be achieved by 2035?
(Taylor & Francis on behalf of the Royal Society of New Zealand, 2020-11-11)
To meet the water quality outcomes sought by catchment communities and regulators, the losses of nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) and sediment from dairy and sheep/beef farms must be reduced across many catchments. We conducted ...
