This research focuses on reducing phosphorus runoff to improve water quality. By studying national water data and surveying soybean producers, the study aims to increase adoption of eco-friendly practices. Phosphorus is a key nutrient in water systems, impacting algae growth. Controlling phosphorus runoff from urban and agricultural areas is crucial for better water quality. The findings suggest that efforts to limit non-point source pollution are needed, emphasizing the importance of environmental policies and educational programs to enhance adoption rates and overall environmental quality.
