Soil application of organic residues from anaerobic digestion of municipal food waste and/or sewage sludge may introduce considerable amounts of heavy metals into the environment. In a column leaching experiment, mobility and release of Cu, Ni and Zn were investigated in three contrasting soils (sand, silt, loam) fertilized with biogas digestates of different origin. The effect of commercial digestates, based on food waste and sewage sludge, was compared to that of experimental digestates based on animal manure and whey permeate with or without fish ensilage, as well as untreated manure, mineral fertilizer and an untreated control. Manure and digestates were added to the columns as fresh material at equal amounts of available nitrogen. The experiment simulated high-intensity rainfall over a period of 7 days. In general, soil treated with the commercial digestates with higher original metal content showed less environmental impact in terms of Ni, Cu and Zn leaching than that treated with experimental digestates with lower original metal content and less than when animal manure or mineral fertilizer was applied. Although effects of digestate application on metal mobility in soils were seen in conditions of extreme precipitation, the leached concentrations of metals were below limitations published by the WHO but still significantly higher than that measured for control soils.

Feltforsøk og feltforsøksbasert forskning er et svært viktig element i NIBIOs faglige og vitenskapelige profil. Feltforsøk betyr også mye for instituttets økonomi. 11 avdelinger bruker i større eller mindre grad feltforsøk som verktøy i sin FoU-aktivitet. Disse avdelingene har en bruttoomsetning på om lag 300 mill. kr, og dekker sentrale forskningsfelt innen agronomi, jord- og plantefag, miljø og nyskaping. Feltforsøksvirksomheten er helt avgjørende for NIBIOs tilstedeværelse rundt omkring i landet og er fundamentet i aktiviteten ved instituttets forskningsstasjoner. Feltforsøk og feltbasert FoU krever betydelige ressurser; høy kompetanse innen en rekke fagfelt for forskere og forskningsteknikere, gode feltareal, et bredt spekter av ordinære landbruksmaskiner og spesielt forsøksteknisk utstyr, og omfattende fastliggende infrastruktur. NIBIO står foran betydelige utfordringer for å opprettholde kvaliteten og videreutvikle denne virksomheten........

Sammendrag

The Christmas tree industry in Norway is increasing and Abies lasiocarpa is, together with Abies nordmanniana, the most common exotic species for Christmas tree production. A. lasiocarpa today constitutes ca. 50% of the fir sold in Norway, and there is high demand for sufficient supply of high-quality seed and knowledge of seed sources with a potential for high Christmas tree quality. Two experimental plots were established to identify seed sources with potentially high survival and satisfactory Christmas tree quality. The high variation in traits on the two sites indicates promising possibilities for further selection of A. lasiocarpa clones for growing Christmas trees in Norway. Selection for late bud break to avoid spring frost is important. Pathogens were not found in any of the studied trials, but are an important factor to consider when selecting seed sources for Christmas trees. Due to the early bud break of this species, it is also of high importance to choose planting sites with minimal risks for spring frost. Good localities are slopes where the frost drains away during cold nights. In eastern Norway, A. lasiocarpa should be used with care in districts and sites where spring frost is commonly occurring.
