Project Title

Nutrient-efficient land concepts for grassland sites

Project description

The aim of the project is the development of digitally based land management concepts for typical grassland sites in Schleswig-Holstein. For the first time, area-based soil, crop and yield data are collected, processed and used for the development of the digital land management concept. So for example, the direct connection between the currently existing soil properties, the plant stock and selected yield and quality parameters is established on practical land.

After evaluation of the collected data, tailored cultivation measures are developed for single subplots or single plots at the respective locations.  In doing so, fertilization intensity is derived for use on subplots and plant stock is accordingly developed by tailored measures. By doing application-oriented scientific research, valid data and new insights in resource-efficient grassland management in SH are generated, tested on farms and later transferred to practice and agricultural consulting.

Results focusing on practiceorientation

The data collection made it possible to assess the site characteristics and yield potential of the pilot areas on a site-specific basis. Previously, there was no information on the actual grassland yields on practice areas in northern Germany. The project was able to gain new knowledge in this area. The data basis also made it possible to calculate area balances for nitrogen and phosphorus on the basis of actual measured values. Overall, the balances were improved over the course of the project. Valuable information was also generated on the compaction status of permanent grassland in Schleswig-Holstein. Even if there are indications of initial structural damage, permanent grassland appears to have a greater potential to compensate for soil compaction than arable land. Further findings were generated through the experience gained from trialling individual site-adapted land concepts.
