Maintenance of soil fertility and organic substance
Maintenance of soil fertility and organic substance
Objectives
Despite the announced reductions of user standards, it is important to keep soil fertility and organic matter at an equal level in order to maintain productivity and soil quality can be guaranteed.

Activities
The long-term goal of this project is to develop strategies to make this possible. Some mid-results indicate that the crop production in many cases is strongly limited by the availability of nitrogen in spite of the large doses of nitrogen. The treatments with the highest quality biological soil resulted in the lowest crop production. During the research a new hypothesis was created: C-rich substrates are largely being breathed if little N is available.
