David Pimentel, Sustainable Agriculture Conservation of Fertilizers and Livestock Manure: Pollution Prevention, National pollution prevention center for higher education

In this paper, the extent of fertilizer use and manure production are examined, and then various approaches that can be employed to conserve fertilizers and livestock manures are explained. The goal in conservation of these resources is to make more effective use of them, while at the same time to reduce pollution from the chemicals in fertilizers and livestock manure.
