1. Optimizing Soil Nutrient Management: Agricultural Policy/environmental Extender (APEX) Model Simulation for Field Scale Phosphorous Loss Reduction in Virginia

Managing soil nutrients is crucial for enhancing crop productivity and meeting consumptions demands while minimizing environmental impacts. Sustainable agriculture relies on well-planned soil nutrient management strategies. Phosphorous (P) stands out among the 16 essential soil nutrients, particularly in Virginia, where natural P levels are typically low. Adequate amount of P is necessary for the early root formation and plant growth. However, excess amount of P in the soil leads to increase the... S. Kumari, J. Rathore, S. Mitra, M. Gardezi, O. Walsh
