Nutrient Management After Waterlogging
Why is Nutrient Management Critical After Heavy Rainfall or Flooding? Heavy rainfall and waterlogged conditions can cause significant nutrient losses impacting both plant nutrient availability and soil nutrient reserves. Heavy rainfall can cause significant nutrient loss through both soil erosion and nitrogen leaching. Waterlogging can create anaerobic conditions which can cause denitrification resulting in further nitrogen losses. Denitrification is not …
