Many soils in Wisconsin contain more phosphorus than crops need because long-term additions of phosphorus have exceeded removal by crops. High soil P levels and application of additional P via fertilizers or manure increase the risk of surface water pollution.
Currently, new federal regulations are being developed which could restrict phosphorus applications. Understanding how phosphorus pollutes surface waters is now critically important to Wisconsin citizens.
 

Several University of Wisconsin groups are presenting a series of roundtable discussions to bring together researchers, educators, and policy makers to explore issues of phosphorus (P) and the environment. The Phosphorus Research Roundtables offer an excellent opportunity to share information and learn about current issues associated with P and water quality protection.

Each roundtable will begin with a brief keynote presentation on a specific P-related issue. Following will be questions, comments, and facilitated discussion among a group of 30 to 40 technical participants drawn from academia, agencies, agricultural organizations, and the legislature.

The objective of the roundtables is to conduct focused discussions on issues related to phosphorus and the environment in a format that explores and presents the current state of knowledge, facilitates discussion, formulates conclusions, and elicits research and information needs on issues related to nonpoint source phosphorus pollution.
