Completed Phosphorus Index Tools

The following states/tools have been completed for use with MMP.

State Tool Description MMP Version Notes
Illinois Phosphorus Risk Assessment The Illinois Phosphorus Risk Assessment identifies critical risk factors that may contribute to higher potential for phosphorus loss from fields. Factors evalualted as high risk should be addressed with remedial management practices prior to manure application. 0.1.9.8 Notes
Minnesota Phosphorus Loss Assessment The Minnesota Phosphorus Risk Assessment calculates, on the basis of several risk factors, a limiting rate basis for the application of manure to a field. This rate will be either nitrogen based, phosphorus based or no application will be permitted at all. 0.1.9.8 Notes
Ohio Phosphorus Risk Assessment The Ohio Phosphorus Risk Assessment is a phosphorus index, though its methodology differs from that described by Gilbert and Lemunyon (1993). It calculates a numeric value for each field based on various risk factors. This value has a corresponding interpretation which is described in documents available from the Ohio NRCS. 0.1.9.8 Notes
