The National Corn Growers Association and Water Environment Research Foundation (collectively “NCGA”) issued a news release announcing the completion of an Agricultural Best Management Practices Database (“Database”).
The United Soybean Board was also a sponsor of the project.
NCGA states that the Database was developed to create a centralized depository of agricultural best management practices performance studies related to water quality in agricultural areas. The organizations also note:
The database includes performance data and metadata that document the many variables that affect BMP performance. These variables include geographic area, field conditions such as soils and slopes, tillage and nutrient management practices, and the existence of buffers, constructed wetlands, and other edge-of-field practices. The database’s initial release focuses on row crops, particularly corn and soybeans, and its primary analytical focus is on phosphorus, nitrogen, and sediment.
