LTFE V140 Long-term experiment of manure treatments

This experiment has been added by the GLTEN Curators using existing published sources.
Local identifier
V140 Nahrstoffsteigerungsversuch
Years operational
1963—
Objective
The effects of organic and mineral fertilization on a sandy soil.
Description
The V140 represents one of the few still active long-term field experiments on a sandy soil in Germany. During the running period just small management changes have been done, mostly with the crop rotation and applied fertilizer combinations and amounts. Recent research focuses mostly on the effect of fertilization on aspects of soil fertility. Since 1963 soil samples have been taken and analysed for SOC and N. The samples taken every second year from 1982-1994 were archived.

Design period: Current design period (1963—)

Design Type
Randomized complete block design
Description
The experiment is divided into eight replicates. each replicate consists of 21 plots: one plot does not receive either mineral nor organic fertilizer (control) while the other 20 plots receive fertilization consisting of five levels of nitrogen combined with either no organic fertilizer or one of three levels of organic fertilization as either FYM or straw. Overall, the experiment consists of 168 plots of 5 m x 6 m size. Organic fertilizer was applied every second year in spring before planting sugar beet, potato or maize. Mineral fertilizer was applied every year and all plots receive P and K. The experiment has not had a consistent crop rotation.
