    Abstract The need for improved abatement of agricultural diffuse water pollution represents cause for concern throughout the world. A critical aspect in the design of on-farm intervention programmes concerns the potential technical cost-effectiveness of packages of control measures. The European Union (EU) Water Framework Directive (WFD) calls for Programmes of Measures (PoMs) to protect freshwater environments and these comprise 'basic' (mandatory) and 'supplementary' (incentivised) options. Recent work has used measure review, elicitation of stakeholder attitudes and a process-based modelling framework to identify a new alternative set of 'basic' agricultural sector control measures for nutrient and sediment abatement across England. Following an initial scientific review of 708 measures, 90 were identified for further consideration at an industry workshop and 63 had industry support. Optimisation modelling was undertaken to identify a shortlist of measures using the Demonstration Test Catchments as sentinel agricultural landscapes. Optimisation selected 12 measures relevant to livestock or arable systems. Model simulations of 95% implementation of these 12 candidate 'basic' measures, in addition to business-as-usual, suggested reductions in the national agricultural nitrate load of 2.5%, whilst corresponding reductions in phosphorus and sediment were 11.9% and 5.6%, respectively. The total cost of applying the candidate 'basic' measures across the whole of England was estimated to be £450 million per annum, which is equivalent to £52 per hectare of agricultural land. This work contributed to a public consultation in 2016.

    Abstract Visual soil evaluation methods can provide a quick and easy, semi-quantitative approach to assessing the overall soil structural condition of a block of soil in three dimensions. To express this amount of information through other measures of soil physical condition (e.g. penetration resistance, bulk density or shear strength) requires a number of measurements at various depths and can be costly and time consuming. There is therefore a need to develop simple field methods to assess and monitor soil quality.In a survey of grassland soil compaction in England and Wales, soil visual evaluation methods were used alongside more widely accepted physical measurements of soil compaction (e.g. bulk density – BD and penetration resistance). Soil structural condition was investigated in 300 fields located on 150 farms, with one ‘mainly grazed’ field and one ‘mainly cut’ field selected on each farm. The visual soil evaluation methods were the visual soil assessment (VSA) method from New Zealand and the Peerlkamp (soil structure – ‘St’) method.Based on the Landcare VSA ranking score, 8% of the grassland fields were in poor condition (95% confidence interval=±3), 54% (±6) in moderate condition and 38% (±6) were in good condition. Based on the Peerlkamp ‘St’ score, 12% (±4) of fields were in poor condition (‘St’ score<4.0), 63% (±6) in moderate condition (‘St’ score 4.0–7.0) and 25% (±5) in good condition (‘St’ score>7.0). Notably, the soil visual evaluations using the VSA ranking score and ‘St’ score were well related (P<0.001; r2=66%).At 30 field sites selected for more detailed investigation, there was an inverse relationship between ‘St’ scores and mid topsoil BD (P<0.01; r2=25%), indicating that the measurement of BD in the middle of the topsoil provided an indication of soil structural condition, as determined by visual soil evaluation. Also, for the 300 grassland fields, there was a positive relationship (P<0.001) between maximum penetration resistance (MPR) in the top 200mm and both the ‘St’ score (r2=26%) and VSA score (r2=19%). The visual evaluation scores increased with increasing penetration resistance, indicating that better soil structure (as assessed visually) was associated with greater penetration resistance. This was contrary to the expectation that soils with better structure would be less dense than poorly structured soils and therefore would have lower penetration resistance values.The use of multiple predictor models showed that the two most important factors (P=0.02) influencing the VSA ranking score were (in order of importance): (i) soil organic matter content (positive relationship); (ii) soil sand content (positive relationship).
