Summary
Abstract: This experiment began in 1963 at a cool temperate site. Before the
experiment began, the soil has been cultivated for at least 20 years
according to standard agricultural recommendations, including crop
rotation, tillage, fertilization and plant protection. The soil at
the site is a brown calcereous sandy soil.

The experiment consists of the following land uses and treatments:
1992 Sugar beet, ... View entire text
