Nutrient Transport: On and Offsite Impacts

About
Export of nutrients from intensive agricultural systems results in on farm economic loss and environmental degradation of water bodies. This research looks at ways of keeping nitrogen and phosphorus on farm through various management strategies and the development of catchment scale models for industry best practice.
