What does ‘leaching - other’ represent in the nutrient budget?

Helpdesk
  • Updated

Leaching-other is the leaching from inter-urine patch areas. It incorporates the effects of soil fertiliser, effluent and other nutrient input sources. Leaching - other is reported in the Nutrient Budget under Leached from root zone.

In the farm report, leaching - other is the area-weighted average background losses from the blocks, plus losses from lanes, unlined standoff pads, effluent storage system, wintering pads and silage stacks. Some of this loss may occur as runoff, particularly for P, but there was insufficient information to split between runoff and leaching when the model was developed.
