PD1 | 1962 | continuos soil cover , conservation agriculture; crops: wheat, maize, soybean, sugarbeet, alfalfa, permanent meadow; 7 crop rotations; oragnic and mineral inputs; 288 plots (47 m^2 each) | |
PD2 | 1966 | main factors: N input, residue management; crops: wheat, maize, tomato, sugarbeet, four-year rotation; organic and mineral input over a wide range of N inputs; 64 plots (36 m^2 each) | |
PD3 | 1970 | main factors: N input, residue management in different soils; crops: wheat, maize, tomato, sugarbeet, four-year rotation; organic and mineral input over a wide range of N inputs; 108 open lysimeter (4 m^2 each). Starting from 2013, the experimtal design has been modified again introducting the application of wood biochar at two rates (20 and 40 t/ha) and reducing the fertilisation levels to 0, 100 and 300 kg/ha | |
