Testing Wisconsin P index assessments across cropping systems
Abstract Managing agricultural runoff phosphorus (P) often requires understanding management effects on both dissolved P (DP) and particulate (sediment‐bound) P (PP). The Wisconsin P index (WPI) allows producers to assess land management effects on runoff P by estimating annual P losses in mass per unit area.
