How It Works

Estimate nitrate loading to surface water from agricultural runoff based on field N application rate, crop uptake, drainage volume, and buffer strip efficiency

Each component has a specific meaning:

  • Agricultural runoff based on field N application rate — The agricultural runoff based on field n application rate recorded for the patient or scenario being assessed.
  • Crop uptake — The crop uptake recorded for the patient or scenario being assessed.
  • Drainage volume — The drainage volume recorded for the patient or scenario being assessed.
  • Buffer strip efficiency — The buffer strip efficiency recorded for the patient or scenario being assessed.

Note: Interpret the nitrate runoff estimate result against the clinical thresholds and context described above.

How to Use

Enter the agricultural runoff based on field N application rate, crop uptake, drainage volume, buffer strip efficiency for the patient or scenario you are assessing. Estimate nitrate loading to surface water from agricultural runoff based on field N application rate, crop uptake, drainage volume, and buffer strip efficiency. Use the nitrate runoff estimate result to inform your clinical assessment.
