  1. Determination of Runoff Quantity for Container-Grown Plant Production Thomas Yeager Department of Environmental Horticulture Joe Albano USDA Horticultural Research Laboratory

  2. Runoff Project Develop a system to characterize runoff from surface for containers

  3. System Requirements - Change Covers and Underlay - Change Slopes - Multiple Units per Treatment

  4. Influence of Slope and Underlay on Runoff

  5. Data collection

  6. Runoff Percentage with 1.5 % and 11 % Slope More runoff was evident for the 11% slope than for the 1.5% slope with sand or gravel underlay

  7. Impact of Research BMP for the Future Management strategies that embrace the movement of water, nutrients, and pesticides associated with surfaces used for container plant production
