Research at Michigan State University is exploring how layering multiple conservation practices can reduce phosphorus loss.
Biosystems and Agricultural Engineering researcher Ehsan Ghane tells Brownfield improving soil health through regenerative agriculture, managing nutrients and water, as well as phosphorus removal structures can help nutrients stay on farm fields.
“Phosphorus is soluble in the water and if we can manage how much water leaves the farm, we can also manage the phosphorus leaving the farm,” he explains.
