Targeted Use of Soil Maps for Soil Samples, Field Classification and Fertilisation
New factsheets show how practitioners, extension workers and the enforcement sector can benefit from precise soil information.
The Swiss Competence Centre for Soil (KOBO), the School of Agricultural, Forest and Food Sciences (HAFL) and Agroscope have published four factsheets:
- Soil maps for creating mixed samples within the Proof of Ecological Performance (in German and French) publ.: HAFL)
- Classification of agricultural fields based on soil maps (in German, publ.: KOBO)
- Site-specific nitrogen fertilisation based on soil maps (in German, publ.: KOBO)
- Added value of soil information for agriculture – an introduction to the factsheet series (in German, publ.: KOBO)
The factsheets are part of the ‘Principles for Optimising N and P Cycles’ series and can be downloaded on the following website (see ‘Soil’ and ‘Fertilisation’ headings):

Grundlagen zur Optimierung der N- und P-Kreisläufe
Nährstoffverluste sind ein zentrales Thema für die Schweizer Landwirtschaft. In einer neuen Serie von Merkblättern fasst Agroscope aktuellste wissenschaftlichen Erkenntnisse zur Optimierung von Nährstoffkreisläufen zusammen.
WhatsApp channel for practitioners
Aimed at agricultural practitioners, the information is shared on our WhatsApp channels 'Agroscope_fr' (French) and 'Agroscope_de' (German).
