Abstract

There have been indications that the increase of mineral N and increased risk of leaching that has been observed in light textured soils after early tillage in autumn should be as pronounced in heavier textured soils. The results of this study in 24 soils ranging from loam to clay indicate that mineralisation is similar independent of texture and that the risk for losses is similar. However, leaching could be a smaller problem in clays and the main mechanism for losses would instead be denitrification.
