Abstract

Abstract : Proper phosphorus fertilizer management is no longer just an issue for agriculture. On the heels of record‐breaking blooms of algae in places like Lake Erie, the public has taken a keen interest in how farmers and their CCAs keep phosphorus, or P, on their fields. And conservation tillage practices like no‐till may be at the heart of the pollution problem.
