Multivariate analysis of covariance to determine effects of near-stream best management practices on nitrogen and phosphorus concentrations on a dairy farm in New York

A three-year study on a New York dairy farm found that implementing near-stream best management practices, such as exclusionary fencing and cattle crossings, significantly reduced soluble reactive phosphorus (SRP) concentrations in streamwater, while having little effect on nitrate nitrogen levels.

• The implementation of exclusionary fencing and a cattle crossing resulted in a 27% yearly reduction in soluble reactive phosphorus (SRP) concentrations in the treatment creek, with the reduction increasing to 34% during the growing season.
• The study observed that the near-stream best management practices had little impact on the concentrations of nitrate nitrogen.
• The overall performance of the multivariate statistical model was significantly improved by incorporating SRP concentrations from a control creek and controlling for groundwater hydrology (water table height) and groundwater SRP levels.
