Abstract
The effect of extensified rape-seed crop rotations (less fertilizer-N and pesticides) on nitrate leaching was studied for 3 years at 2 sites in South-/East Lower Saxony. It could be proved that lowered producti on intensity did not necessarily lead to mean nitrate leaching. Site s pecific nitrate reduction was frequently more important. Enhanced nitr ate leaching was often observed after cultivation of oilseed-rape, leg umes, and sometimes winter wheat.
