Danish Agricultural Advisory Service National Centre Nitrogen Input Control on Danish farms Senioradviser Leif Knudsen Danish Agricultural Advisory Service

Danish Agricultural Advisory Service National Centre Outline: Background for regulation of nitrogen input Review of the legislation The current legislation The effect of the legislation on farmers’ practice The economic consequences for the farmers The effect on environmental parameters

Danish Agricultural Advisory Service National Centre Two main problems caused by leaching of nitrogen from agriculture: Increase of nitrate in ground water /drinking water Incidences of depletion of nitrogen in the marine water (inlets, eustaries)

Danish Agricultural Advisory Service National Centre mineral fertilizer,kg/ha mg nitrate pr. liter Fertiliser Nitrate

Depletion of oxygen has always occured. Depletion of oxygen is more common with high N and P content. Depletion of oxygen was more common in the 80’ies and 90’ies than before. Eutrofication in inletsCover on buttom after an incident of lack of oxygen

Danish Agricultural Advisory Service National Centre TimePlanSignificant elements in legislation: 1985NPO-plan-regulation of allowed animal unit per ha. - min. storage capacity for animal manure 1987Water Environm. Plan I -50 pct reduction in N-leaching from agr. -65 pct ”autumngreen fields” -Slurry in autumn only to wintercovered fields 1992Sustain- able agri- culture -Slurry only to grass or oilseed rape in autumn -Max. N-standards for crops (N-quota per farm) -Min. utilization of nitrogen in animal manure -Fertilizer plans and -accounts. 1998Water Environm. Plan II -10 pct decrease of N-standards (The N-quota) - 6 percent ”super” green fields in autumn -15 pct higher utilization of N in animal manure

Danish Agricultural Advisory Service National Centre Storage capacity for animal manure Normal: At least 9 months on pig farms. 7 months on dairy farms with animals gra- zing in summer New stables: farmers normally invest for 12 months storage capacity

Danish Agricultural Advisory Service National Centre Animal manure continued Cover of liquid manure: Natural crust is enough but control is intensified by the authorities. If not in order there must be a solid cover (e.g. concrete, tent) Spreading time From harvest to 1st of February spreading of liquid manure is banned except: -on winter oilseed rape from harvest to 1 st of October -on grassland (overwintering) until 1 st October -On grass for seed until 15. October

Danish Agricultural Advisory Service National Centre Animal manure continued: Spreading technique: Use of broadcasting is banned. All liquid manure must be spread with trailing hoses or direct injection Manure spread on bare soil must be incorporated within 6 hours

Danish Agricultural Advisory Service National Centre Covercrops: 65 percent of the area must be ”Autumn Green fields: Wintercereal, winteroilseed rape, beets, potatoes(late), corn… 6 percent of the area must be ”supergreen Fields: catchcrops of undersown grass or crusifer crops.

Danish Agricultural Advisory Service National Centre Nitrogen quotas per farm: Nitrogen quota for each crop +/- Correction for yearly N-prognosis - Effect of catchcrops from last year - Minimum utilization of animal manure = Nitrogen quota in mineral fertiliser for the farm
