USDA Conservation Outcomes Webinar August 22

Yesterday’s Phosphorus, Today’s Water Quality: Conservation Insights from the USDA Legacy Phosphorus Assessment

Phosphorus, a critical fertilizer nutrient required for crop production, can trigger unwanted changes to aquatic systems when it ends up in our water bodies. Historical sources of phosphorus accumulate in soils, wetlands, and streams. Mitigating legacy phosphorus requires targeted conservation in fields, at the edges of fields, and in watersheds.

On August 22 at 2:00 p.m. Eastern, Dr. Pete Kleinman will share recent insights from USDA’s Legacy Phosphorus Assessment Project during our free, one-hour Conservation Outcomes Webinar. Dr. Kleinman, a Research Leader with USDA’s Agricultural Research Service (ARS), coordinates this effort between NRCS and ARS to advance the science, innovation, and forecasting of legacy phosphorus mitigation strategies and ultimately support water quality improvements. The conservation insights shared during this webinar may be used to strengthen legacy phosphorus mitigation efforts and improve water quality nationwide.
