Summary:
In the past the northeast German lowlands drained peat soils are mainly used as pastures and meadows for milk, beef and energy production. Sustainable utilization of peat soil grassland is highly required, based on an appropriate management of the grass sward itself, water and nutrients. In order to fulfil the quality and quantity requirements of animal production systems, peat soil grasslands need an adequate fertilization with potassium (K) and phosphorus (P) and, in many situations, also with nitrogen (N). In this paper, results of grassland fertilization studies on peat soilare introduced. It is based on several long term field and lysimeter experiments, conducted for N, P and K at the…
