Nutrient Budgets for the Mid-Atlantic States

As part of the Mid-Atlantic Regional Water Program, extension specialists and researchers at several Mid-Atlantic universities are developing nitrogen and phosphorus budgets for agricultural cropland. Budgets will be posted here as they are developed. Only phosphorus budgets are available at this time.

These budgets have the potential to improve water quality protection by supporting activities that address the lack of balance between available nutrient supplies and potential nutrient use by crops in a region.
