Lelystad Phosphate Trial
- Objective
- Long-term effects of phosphate management on crop yields, phosphate fractions in the soil, organic matter content of soil and phosphate leaching.
- Description
- Effects of different phosphate fertilization levels on crop yield, phosphate levels of phosphate soil fractions and risks of phosphate leaching. Levels of fertilization are monitored: 0, 70, 140 and 280 kg P2O5/ha. Since 2005, half of the fields are not fertilized any more. Measured soil phosphorus fractions are P-CaCl2, Pw, P-Al, P-ox and total P.
