DCA Publikationer The Askov long-term experiments: 1894-2019 DCA rapport, nr. 151, 2019 Af Bent T. Christensen, Ingrid K. Thomsen and Jørgen Eriksen ![]() Records of crop yields stretch back to the start of the experiments in 1894, while systematic sampling and archiving of soil at 4 years intervals began in 1923. Archiving of crop samples began in 1949. Encompassing results from routine soil and plant analyses, archived soil and plant samples, a detailed documentation of changes in treatments and general field management, recordings of climate parameters, and an extensive backlog of results obtained in specific projects, the Askov-LTE provides a unique research platform for studies in very diverse scientific disciplines. |
