Abstract
Best management practices (BMPs) are a series of guidelines and that help farmers reduce the impact that farming has on the local environment by limiting the amount of aquatic pollution that comes from farms. A vegetative filter strip (VFS) consists of an area of land planted with vegetation designed to reduce the amount of pollutants in surface runoff. Most VFSs are comprised of grasses due to their dense growth patterns and ease of management. This BMP is typically easy to install and maintain, often making VFSs attractive systems to help improve surface water quality.
