Manure is a valuable source of P for crop production. However, applying too much manure P,
\nespecially in the wrong place, is not only agronomically wasteful, but potentially harmful to the
\nenvironment. As a result of recent increases in Manitoba\u2019s production of livestock, the risk of
\ntransfer of manure P from agricultural land to surface water is probably increasing. However,
\nthe amounts of P that are discharged from livestock production and other agricultural activities
\nare very difficult to determine due to a lack of hydrological data and, more important, a lack of
\ndata on the transfer of P from soil to water. Part of this problem is due to the highly variable
\nimpact of soil type, P management, landscape and climate on P retention and release by soil,
\ninformation that is not well documented for Manitoba conditions. Fortunately, livestock
\nproducers have a wide variety of potential techniques for reducing P discharge from their
\noperations; however, the technical and economic merit of these techniques is generally not well
\ndocumented either, for Manitoba conditions. As a result of these challenges, legislation and
\nregulation regarding P management should be introduced cautiously to ensure environmental
\nprotection without undue hardship to the agricultural industry.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
