Abstract

In recent decades, intensively used agricultural land in Germany has lost much of its natural soil fertility due to the use of extremely high levels of mineral nitrogen fertilizer and the intensive use of pesticides. Since 2005, we have been attempting to improve the biological soil fertility of these intensively used areas on about 170 agricultural areas with different soil indexes. The international long-term program Tandem12/21 (2012-2021) and the two previous research projects Radostim A*B (2005-2008) and future9/12 (2009-2012) have been investigating the potential of phytohormone-humic acid combinations (PHC) to increase soil biological fertility and to create a biological nutrient reserve in the soil.
