Description
A cropping system project was started at Apelsvoll Research Station in 1990, with the aim of developing cropping systems to minimise nutrient leaching and maximise food quality and economy. The experiment involves cash crop and forage crop systems with conventional, integrated and organic farming. This paper presents the experimental layout and preliminary measurements of nitrogen leaching. Both drainage water concentrations and runoff results shows that nitrogen leaching is less from cropping systems dominated by forages than from cash crop systems with cereals and potatoes.
