The Virginia Phosphorus
Index (P-Index) is a field-level assessment tool that integrates
soil, management, environmental, and hydrologic (transport)
characteristics to estimate the relative risk of phosphorus (P)
losses through erosion, surface runoff and subsurface transport to water
bodies. To download a Microsoft Excel 2000©
spreadsheet for calculation of the P-Index, or the Virginia P-Index

P-Index, contact Mary Leigh Wolfe (540/231-6092 mlwolfe@vt.edu). For questions
