Streamlines
Streamlines offers insight and discussion on all things water.

Produced with contributions by John McMaine, former Griffith Endowed Assistant Professor & SDSU Extension Water Management Engineer.

In this week’s episode of Streamlines, Dr. John McMaine and Anthony Bly continue their discussion on phosphorous including:

  • Proper nutrient management to fulfill the nutrient cycle by redistributing the phosphorus with potential suggestions.
  • Discussing impacts from Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations (CAFOs) and management tactics.
  • How data from soil tests can be compiled to determine phosphorus distributions in a particular location.

Dr. Chad Penn, a soil scientist from the USDA, was the special guest who brought in a new perspective regarding phosphorus management and what information soil tests provide.
