Lysimeterforschung an ART – dem Nitrat auf der Spur (original) (raw)

The water protection group of Agroscope Reckenholz-Tänikon ART is operating 4 lysimeter facilities (2 at Zurich-Reckenholz, 1 at Tänikon/Aadorf and 1 at Eschikon/Lindau) with a total of 97 lysimeters. Focus of all research activities is on nitrate leaching from agricultural land with special attention given to practice-oriented issues. Results should give an insight into processes and serve for model validation and for deriving recommendations for farmers. Technical data and current experiments of the four lysimeter facilities are reported.
