| The phosphorus balance will be the difference between phosphorus inputs to the farm less the total of phosphorus outputs leaving the farm. It is calculated per unit area of agricultural land on the holding and is based upon the following: Inputs include:P in chemical fertiliser (quantity and P content)P in feedstuffs (quantity and P content)P in any organic manure imported onto farm (quantity and P content – use standard values for P content)less Outputs include:P in produce – for example meat, milk and crops (use standard values for P content of each product)P exported in organic manures (quantity and P content)The balance is inputs less outputs divided by the agricultural area for each calendar year.Note: inputs of phosphorus to agricultural land in precipitation and losses of phosphorus from the farm to surface or groundwaters are excluded from the balance calculation. | The phosphorus balance will be the difference between phosphorus inputs to the farm less the total of phosphorus outputs leaving the farm.
