Abstract

Groundwater studies conducted in north Florida indicate that improperly managed waste from dairy farms can create groundwater nitrate pollution. A study was conducted using suction lysimeters and the CREAMS computer model to evaluate recommended best management practices (BMPs) at several dairy farms in north Florida. The BMPs were determined from a nitrogen balance to reduce the amount of nitrate leaching from the dairies while maintaining economic vitality. A complete list of BMPs is given within the article.
