Fertilization experiment provides 50 years of data for sustainable open-field vegetable production

For 50 years, scientists in Großbeeren have studied how different fertilization strategies affect vegetable and soil quality. The box plot facility in Großbeeren hosted one of the world's longest fertilization experiments with vegetables. From 1972 to 2022, data were collected and have now been published by researchers from the Leibniz Institute of Vegetable and Ornamental Crops (IGZ). The freely accessible data in the BonaRes Repository for Soil and Agricultural Research Data support sustainable soil management and more environmentally friendly open-field vegetable production.
