Session Description: In many agricultural systems, inorganic fertilizers above recommendations rates are applied that results in nutrient loss to surface and groundwater, leading to health hazards to human and marine life. Best agricultural management practices (BMPs) can help to retain the nutrients on the farm while decreasing their losses to the surrounding environment. This session will focus on agricultural management practices that can help to decrease the nutrient losses to surface and groundwater.
