description The overall goal of this project was to quantify the long-term water quality impacts of land management changes associated with increased demands for corn as a transportation biofuel feedstock in the United States. A modeling approach that considers a nonpoint source model, Groundwater Loading Effects of Agricultural Management Systems and National Agricultural Pesticide Risk Analysis, was used to simulate annual losses in runoff, percolation, erosion, nitrate-nitrogen, total phosphorus, atrazine (1-chloro-3-ethylamino-5-isopropylamino-2,4,6-triazine), and pyraclostrobin (Methyl {2-[1-(4-chlorophenyl)-1H-pyrazol-3-yloxymethyl] phenyl} methoxycarbamate) to the edge-of-field and bottom-of-root zones associated with multiple cropping scenarios. Model results for representative soils, throughout Indiana, were analyzed to determine 10% (worst case) and 50% (average case) probability of exceedence in the aforementioned water quality indicators. Modeling results indicated significant differences ( p
