Summary in the original language of the document
A field experiment was conducted on a sandy soil in Wageningen (The Netherlands) in order to study the interactive effects of two different tillage practices (standard tillage: rototilling the 0 - 10 cm soil layer followed by 0 - 30 cm mouldboard ploughing vs reduced tillage with only rototilling of the top soil) and three soil organic amendments (grass clover silage, lucerne pellet and solid cattle manure). Key measurements included soil physical properties related to the soil water balance, soil compaction, rooting pattern and soil nitrogen mineralisation (Nmin) during the course of an organic potato crop growing season. Moreover, using NDICEA (a model developed for assessing N dynamics in cropping systems) it was assessed how these characteristics related to crop N accumulation and potato tuber yield.
