We investigated topsoil samples from long-term trials with farmyard manure and mineral fertili-sation and with different organic and conventional farming systems. Input of micronutrients via or-ganic fertilisers was obviously more significant in the case of poor sandy soil than in that of loamy soil with high total contents and higher mineralising potential. date: 2005 date_type: published refereed: yes citation: Fischer, Meike; Raupp, Joachim; Mäder, Paul; Dubois, David and Römheld, Volker (2005) Micronutrient status in two long-term trials with fertilisation treatments and different cropping systems.
