Management support model - AGRICAT2
Agricat 2 is a catchment scale, empirical model that can be used to calculate the loss of soil and phosphorus from agricultural land. The model can be run for different operating systems and different combination of measures. The model has been developed by NIBIO, and it has been used in a number of projects where the the results are used by the public administration to support the planning of measures.
