Abstract: GSD is used to determine the risk efficiency of nine different technologies of land application. The analysis shows that organic applications for crop phosphorus needs are the most environmentally efficient. Under producer risk aversion, inorganic fertilizer application is the most economically desirable. Organic applications can be both environmentally amenable and economically viable alternatives in the long run.
