Conclusions & Resolutions
- Investigate the movement of colloidal-P from land to water.
- A "one size fits all" approach to P best management practices
(BMPs) is not appropriate.
- Landscape and water susceptibility tools (such as the P index, etc.)
need to reflect the state's diversity in soils, waters and land use.
- Bioavailable P transport to surface waters must be reduced.
Issues to Resolve
- Define bio-available P as a function of time, lake/stream conditions,
etc.
- Resolve the total P to bio-available P correlation.
oDo not exclude soluble (dissolved) P in assessing environmental impact.
- Geographic (spatial) and temporal variation of individual farm operations
must be assessed in the development of applicable (and functional) best
management practices.
o Management recommendations must be flexible.
