Pearce, Austin W.Maguire, Rory O.Pokhrel, S.2022-07-222022-07-222021http://hdl.handle.net/10919/111338Our study evaluated the status of phosphorus balance on Virginia dairy farms and identified management risk factors associated with those farms that had excessive phosphorus. There was no direct link between phosphorus balance and milk production, and therefore some Virginia dairy farmers efficiently balanced phosphorus without affecting the production of milk. Farms that fall outside the feasible zone of operation can improve phosphorus balance by changing management practices.5 pagesapplication/pdfen-USVirginia Cooperative Extension materials are available for public use, re-print, or citation without further permission, provided the use includes credit to the author and to Virginia Cooperative Extension, Virginia Tech, and Virginia State University.Extension publicationhttps://www.pubs.ext.vt.edu/content/dam/pubs_ext_vt_edu/spes/SPES-278/SPES-278.pdfPhosphorus fertilizersPhosphorusDairy farms
