- Method / resource NiLRI values from experiments and commercial crops spanned all seven risk classes.
- Association Practices most influential for NiLRI had little direct impact on nitrogen management.
- Association Improved fallow management was associated with lower nitrogen water quality risk.
- Association Reduced tillage and compaction were associated with lower nitrogen water quality risk.
