Summary
This experiment began in 1963 at a site that has the following
climatic conditions: Minimum annual temperature of 4.1 deg C, Mean
annual temperature of 8.5 deg C, Maximum annual temperature of 12.5
deg C, and Mean annual rainfall of 435 mm. The soil is described as
an Agrudalf. By FAO-Unesco soil map: Podzoluvisol.

The experimental land use has been: ... crop rotation 1963-74 maize,winter
rye,potato,winter wheat; 1975-82 sugar beet,spring barley; 1983-94
potato,winter wheat,sugar beet,spring barley. Treatments unfertilized;
organic manures - 2 levels of FYM or straw; 5 levels of N; before 1983
also irrigation.
