Abstract: The work described under this project covers field work on\nphosphorus(P) loss from soil to water under field conditions. In\naddition two International Workshops on P loss to water, held in\nIreland in 1995 and 1998, are also covered under this project. The\nresults indicate that P loss to water is a complex process and it is\ninfluenced by a number of factors, including hydrology of the soil,\nrates and timing of P application and soil P levels. Most work on this\nsubject indicates that there is a positive relationship between soil test\nP levels and P loss to water. There is need for further work to\nestablish the relative contribution of the different variables involved in\nP loss from soil to water for different soils and farming conditions.\nThis should help provide answers to the most sustainable methods to\nminimise losses of P to water and ensure that agricultural production\nis compatible with good water quality.
