Dr. David Tsao, Hydrocarbon and Environmental Management Group, Global Envionmental Management Business Unit, BP Amoco Corporation, 150 W. Warrenville Rd., Mail Code H-7, Naperville, IL 60563 The U.S. livestock industry has evolved to confine a large number of animals on a few farms in concentrated areas in many states. The trend to fewer, larger operations coupled with highly intensive production methods has resulted in more concentration of manure nutrients within relatively small geographic areas. Researchers in these areas have reported that manure production is contributing more phosphorus (P) than available cropland can assimilate. Overapplication of manure nutrients combined with low P removal rates by many crops is frequently cited as a reason for the accumulation of excess soil P. We propose that higher amounts of soil P can be removed from soil using vegetative management. Soil P concentration can be reduced in fields with excess levels by using P-hyperaccumulator plants or growing plants that have been modified to increase their P-uptake characteristics through traditional breeding and transgenic techniques. In this context, we identify plant properties (root architecture, secretion of organic acids, etc.) that may be improved using these two techniques.
