System solution for environmentally compatible and optimised P-fertilization on arable land
Project
Project code: EIP-Agri-THÜ-2018-LPTPGDB
Contract period: 01.01.2018

Budget: 374,169 Euro
Purpose of research: Applied research
Keywords: farming, practice/activity, plant production and horticulture, fertilisation, soil, water, waste/pollution
The project includes the development, testing and introduction into agricultural practice of a system that combines optimised mineral P-fertilization on arable land with reduction or prevention of phosphorus loss and transport into surface water due to water erosion. The novelty of the procedure is the combination of an optimised, site-specific P-fertilization with procedures of water protection. Thus, a resource-saving and efficient P-nutrition is ensured by site-specific fertilization whilst considering P-outputs on areas vulnerable to water erosion. Geodata have to be integrated into the process. Furthermore, a novelty is the improved quantification of plant available phosphorus in soil by additional methods compared with standard analysis. The adviced P-quantities for practical, site-specific fertilization include information on: yield potential, plant available phosphorus content in soil, estimation of site-specific potential of soil loss due to water erosion, and deduction of procedures preventing soil und P loss. Proposals to minimise risks of erosion are made for areas with high soil loss potential.
