1 Edge of field water quality monitoring from various management practices in the Ozark Highlands Project 5-13 T.C. Daniel Joe Staed Paul DeLaune Andrew Sharpley Tara Verkler

2 Project Goals Develop edge-of-field P loadings from agriculture Demonstrate that BMPs improve water quality Forage/Grazing management Broilers litter application Soil test P (STP) Swine slurry application

3 Watershed Project to Collect Contaminants in Natural Runoff Berm Flume Water Sampler

4 Impediments to Project Goals Runoff depends on rainfall ~2-3% below normal for project period Runoff varies!!!! Between years & paired watersheds (same year) Runoff volume & load Treatment effect difficult to show Manure sampling & land application Slurry &

22 WEP in manure controls runoff phosphorus (P) loss Swine slurry Same Total P 4 lbs/ac Different WEP SW4 SW3 SW2 SW1

23 Difficulties Runoff varied between WSs No runoff in 27 Sampling lagoon Proven sampling protocol Standard Methods cautions about error Temporal variation Same day vs. days later Never got application correct Required sampling vs. Book values

24 Summary & Conclusions Runoff is weather dependent Varies between WS and years Variability can mask treatment effect Runoff dominates NPS load Lower runoff lower load regardless of TRT Background NPS loads occur Manure addition mask STP contribution

25 Summary & Conclusions When manure applied WEP addition determines TP load Affects concentration and P load Concentration and P load WEP application rate Time between application and runoff Lagoon slurry sampling VARIABLE Bookvalues for nutrient content
