Abstract
The recent Journal work by C. Robert Taylor and Klaus Frohberg was an impressive study from the standpoint of both the energy and imagination that must have gone into the model and the practical implications concerning the welfare effects of nonpoint pollution abatement. Yet, it appears that costs of nutrient management were considerably overestimated in the light of a number of experiments using techniques for controlling nutrient losses through proper timing of nitrogen fertilizer applications. Therefore. the model may have failed to represent the most cost effective techniques for reducing nitrogen pollution.
