Launched in 1976 by the Swiss Research Station Agroscope ACW - Changins, Nyon (VD), a long-term experiment investigates the capacities of different organic fertilizers to maintain soil fertilities and improve crop yield, in particular in relation to soil organic matter “SOM” (Maltas et al., 2012a, 2012b). The experiment consists of 6 treatments: “control” with only PK fertilizers, mineral NPK fertilizers “Min”, cereal straw “Str” + NPK fertilizers, green manure “GM” (mustard applied every 2 years) + NPK fertilizers, solid farmyard manure “Ma” (35t ha-1 applied every 3 years)+ NPK fertilizers, and liquid farmyard manure “Slu” (60m3 ha-1 applied every 3 years) + NPK fertilizers. The main objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of the replacement of farmyard manures by mineral fertilizers and/or fresh organic matter (straw and green manure) on SOM quality and soil biological activity.
