Fertilizer application patterns and trends and their implications for water quality in the western Lake Erie basin .: E95-2/30-2018E-PDF
"In the report titled Fertilizer Application Patterns and Trends and Their Implications for Water Quality in the Western Lake Erie Basin, an extensive analysis of existing data leaves little doubt that commercial fertilizer and manure applications are the largest sources of excess phosphorus into the western basin of Lake Erie. The IJC Science Advisory Board’s Science Priority Committee completed the assessment to better understand the influence of past, current and possible future nonpoint agricultural runoff of phosphorus into western Lake Erie, and their potential to cause eutrophic conditions and nuisance and harmful algal blooms (HABs).
