• National P Research Project outcomes Standardized methods for rainfall – runoff
studies
Established relationships between STP and runoff
Integrated into P Indices
Incorporated into NMP process
•Success partly due to Group effort – Land Grant & ARS
Flexibility to adapt to State needs
Learning from the past

Factors in P Index
• Runoff potential
• Erosion potential
• Leaching potential
• Proximity to stream
TransportSource• Soil P content
• Added P• Rate, method,
timing of fertilizer & manure
• Manure P solubility

• Disparity among Indices across the country Varied with soils, topography, & state
priorities
• Often, not leading to a decline in STP nor improvement in water quality Legacy effects
• Perceived as farmer friendly
• The P Index was never meant to be the solution to P management issues

Southern P Indices

• Appropriately account for major sources & processes determining P loss & rank risk of loss for any given site
• Directionally and magnitudinally correct
• Interpretations based on assigned risk are equivalent across state borders, given similar site & water resource conditions
• Where inadequacies exist, the causes can be identified & addressed
P Indices should …

• At a minimum this should include Site runoff, management, climate,
water quality Event, planning / rotation period &
annual loss Natural rainfall
• Network of sites and data exchange being developed – Kleinman et al.
• MANAGE – Daren Harmel
Database development

• Select appropriate model APEX, APLE, DrainMod
Locally calibrated (within state)
Event, planning / rotation period & annual loss
• Model & Index must estimate P loss & simulate P mobilization & transport over same time scales
Model use

• Spring workload is huge with more time-sensitive tasks
• Fertilizer usually costs more in spring
• Less soil compaction on frozen ground
But the reality is …….
