From Ohio Ag Net:
Maumee River nutrient loading | Dusty Sonnenberg, OSU Extension, discusses different categories of phosphorus, how they contribute to algae blooms, and how loading is determined.  |  Article

From The Manure Scoop:
The power of manure timing: Enhancing nitrogen use efficiency | Dan Anderson, ISU, discusses the effects of weather and timing on predicting corn yield responses to manure application.  |  Article

From Hoard’s Dairyman:
Research injects new manure possibilities | A 3-year study on an Illinois dairy evaluated application rates, application methods, and use of cover crops. Researchers found that using a phosphorus-based application rate and injection were most effective for reducing phosphorus runoff.  |  Article

From Manure Manager:
Solid manure sampling | While manure analysis is critical for determining nutrient levels before land application, collecting a good sample is the first step. Knowing the lab’s requirements, having the right tools, choosing sampling locations, and shipping practices are equally important.  |  Article
