Fig. 4. Variation in the concentration of reactive phosphorus (RP) for different size fractions collected in near-surface flow to 30 cm from 30-m2 replicated plots for each of four treatments: (i) untreated plots (zero P), and treated plots receiving (ii) the equivalent of 38 kg P ha1 in the form of triple superphosphate (TSP), (iii) TSP + dairy manure slurry, and (iv) dairy manure slurry, for a single storm on 14 Apr. 1999. The data are means of six replicated plots; the error bars represent 1 SE. There is no significant difference (p = 0.05) in the concentration of RP in runoff between the different P-treated plots or between the P-treated plots and the zero-P plots.
