Evaluating Best Management Practices For Minimized Pesticides Transport With The Wepp-Ui Model
Best management practice (BMP) tools that provide site-specific water quality suggestions with limited input data are needed to assist consultants and farm advisors as they work to target BMP placement and reduce dissolved and sediment bound pesticide loads from agricultural landscapes. BMP …
