sediment and P losses from agriculture; sediment and P losses were much greater from areas containing tramlines, than from monitored areas without tramlines, for all soil types (silt: up to 300x greater; sand: 20-40x greater; clay: 2-5x greater).<\/p><p>A tramline management treatment which broke up the compaction in tramlines using a simple tine proved to be effective in four out of five site-years, significantly (p&lt;0.01) reducing losses of sediment and P by 75-99%, and reducing losses to levels similar to background losses from areas without tramlines. \u00a0This tramline management treatment required an extra operation, and so was associated with a small cost of \u00a32-5 ha<sup>-1<\/sup>.\u00a0<\/p><p>Minimum tillage, which generates cost savings at the farm scale of \u00a344-50 ha<sup>-1 <\/sup>was effective in three out of five site-years trialled, significantly (p&lt;0.05) reducing sediment and P losses by 29-98%.<\/p><p>Incorporation of crop residues also reduced sediment and P losses but reductions were not significant.<\/p><p>Contour cultivation, and in-field contour vegetative barriers may also be effective mitigation options, but their success
