The goal of the demonstration project is to develop a concept for early and systematic measurement and prediction of nitrate pollution on agricultural sites of market crop production, feed production and animal production under practical conditions. Based on management data, gaseous losses in the form of climate-damaging nitrous oxide and ammonia from the application of fertilizers will also be quantified. Later, this early monitoring concept will be integrated into a nationwide nitrate monitoring system. The monitoring concept is based on a multiparametric set of early indicators such as annual balance values and measurements. Balance values and measurements are taken at the point of origin of nitrate loads (1) in agriculture, (2) in the root zone, and (3) in the leachate drainage zone are recorded. The management data will also be linked to emission factors to quantify gaseous climate-relevant pollutant gases from the application of various fertilizers. Thus, a complete accounting of N loss pathways can be undertaken. The aim is to assess the impact of changes in management practices on nitrate pollution as well as nitrous oxide and ammonia emissions from agricultural land. agricultural land.
