Summary
Regional phosphorus (P) budgets provide insight into the P status of a region. They provide preliminary information on the sustainability of the fertility practices in a region and they could be incorporated into future policies on livestock development. The objective of this project is to provide P budget estimates for each Rural Municipality in agro-Manitoba.
