Summary

The objective of the study was to prevent the accumulation of high concentrations of mineral N in the soil during the drainage season by growing the presumably most effective catch crop, Italian ryegrass, undersown in barley as a green crop for silage on sandy soil. Further more, to examine the effect on two fields with different management of the grass-clover ley and therefore a different mineralization potential after ploughing. The green barley/Italian ryegrass treatment was compared with barley grown to maturity with and without an undersown conventional catch crop of perennial ryegrass.
