(4 breaks) with catch crops
Ground cultivation Organic and conventional cultivation, mechanized
Used fertilizer/manure Liquid manure
Amount of fertilizer(s) used - kg/ha 120 - 180 kg NH4-N

Future developments specific attention will be given on the dissemination of investigation
results to farmers, advisors, administratives, politicians by organizing'
"field days", workshops, conferences and by applying a dynamic web
page to access data and evaluations for research and practical application
