Nutrient & Pest Management
Nutrient Management
- The series of thirty-two best management practice (BMP) factsheets
- was developed by members of SERA 17. The BMPs described in these factsheets
can broadly be divided into three groups: (1) BMPs that have an impact on the
type or source of phosphorus (Source BMPs),
(2) BMPs that affect the transport of phosphorus (Transport BMPs), and
(3) BMPs that have an impact on both the source and transport of phosphorus
(Source and Transport BMPs). The list of topics in this series will continue to
expand, as new research and technologies demonstrate further possible reductions
in phosphorus losses.

- Animal Waste Management (AWM)
A planning tool used to estimate the
production of waste materials within an animal feeding operation and determine
the size of storage / treatment facilities (process and calculations used in AWM
based on the USDA-NRCS Agricultural Waste Management Field Handbook).
- Manure Management Planner (MMP)
Being developed at Purdue University; A
manure utilization planning tool to help develop nutrient management plans. (NRCS
is cooperating with the development of this tool and plans to incorporate it
into the toolkit used by NRCS staffs.)
- Phosphorus Index
A site vulnerability assessment tool, helps determine the
relative risk for off-site transport of phosphorus and for manure. The
Phosphorus Index is one of the best techniques for making manure management
decisions. The PI is a useful tool for prioritizing fields for the application
of animal manure or other organic by-products that contains phosphorus. It may
also be used to identify fields on which more careful management of phosphorus
may be necessary.
