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 ...
Why are median phosphorus concentrations improving in New Zealand streams and rivers?
(Taylor & Francis on behalf of the Royal Society of New Zealand, 2019)
The enrichment of phosphorus (P) in streams and rivers can impair water quality, but concentrations have decreased. We found little evidence that this improvement was caused by a decrease in soil Olsen P concentrations or ...
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) ...
