all the studies, increased application rates (greater than the agronomic rate)
resulted in increased losses to surface runoff and subsurface drainage. However,
when losses are measured as a percent of total applied, the values tend to fall
within a fairly narrow range. For nitrogen, the range for combined losses is 12.4
percent to 17.3 percent. Based on these limited data, it is difficult to determine if
