Drainage runoff and migration of mineral elements in organic and conventional cropping systems

Abstract: In the present investigation, organic and intensive cropping systems were compared on small autonomous drainage plots in limed Luvisoils and Cambisoils as well as non-acid Cambisoils during the period 1995-1998. In the intensive cropping system with balanced nutrient application, the yield of all crops was 38-77% higher than in the organic cropping system. Cropping intensity had no influence on mineral concentration in drainage water, which depended on geochemical soil media. The concentrations of Cland NO 3 i… Show more

“…In this study, it has been shown that organic amendments allowed for organic farming do not have better fertilizing value than other organic materials. We could also conclude that organic farming, with specific regard to N management, is not necessarily more environmentally friendly than conventional farming, as was previously reported by Sileica and Guzys (2003). Commercial organic amendments allowed for organic farming are often expensive and could have misleading marketing strategies that promote fertilising properties that the amendments do not have.…”

“…To determine similar patterns by performing tests in large drainage systems is also difficult, not only because of their large amortisation effect (Cornelese et al, 2001), but also because of the research background promiscuity (soil cover variegation, ground water stratification depth, etc. ); however, under some circumstances, patterns remain (Sileika & Guzys, 2003).…”

“…Finally, as the data collected by many researchers show, the advanced agricultural technologies and efficient application (not the rates) of mineral fertilisers are among the essential preconditions for reduced nonpoint source water pollution with N (Goulding et al, 2000;Sileika & Guzys, 2003).…”
