Identifying Practices to Best Manage Phosphorus
According to a July 14 post by Ohio Ag Net & Ohio’s Country Journal, the P Index, since its creation, has been offering farmers insights into the decisions they make with regard to the phosphorus management on their farms with a scoring system for management practices. The problem is that the Ohio P Index has never been validated for accuracy with on-farm tests to see if the system reflects P runoff risk from farm fields. Elizabeth Dayton is working on a validation process at The Ohio State University.
