The production of fresh vegetables within Europe relies on intensive rotations, supported by large inputs of nitrogen from fertiliser and organic sources which is required to maintain the yield and quality of produce demanded by the multiple retailers and their customers. Most field vegetable crops use nitrogen inefficiently and often leave large residues of nitrogen (either as unused fertiliser or crop debris) in the soil after harvest, which can potentially cause damage to soil, water and aerial environments. Funding from the EU Commission has enabled the development of a new computer model, EU-Rotate_N, which can be used to investigate the fate of nitrogen supplied to rotations of field vegetable crops. EU-Rotate_N was used to examine the effects of applying existing codes of Good Agricultural Practice (GAP) on the economic and environmental performance of several case study rotations in Europe. In some cases, following GAP, led to significant reductions in N losses without affecting the farmer"s gross margin but in others reduced gross margin without reducing N losses significantly. This paper will briefly describe the development of the model and will present the results of several case studies to show the effects of applying GAP on the performance of horticultural rotations.

Total waste P flows are of such magnitude that they potentially could serve as a P resource in food production. However, neither waste treatment nor applications of WBPs are optimized for high recycling efficiency today. There is a need for methods to evaluate and communicate about nutrient recycling from waste and substitution rate is one interesting option.

Innblanding av avløpsslam og kompost i stedlige mineraljordmasser kan gi bedre etablering av gras og minske erosjonsrisikoen. Regelverket tillater bruk av et inntil 5 cm tykt lag av avfallsbasert produkt når dette blandes med jorda på bruksstedet. Å utnytte tillatt mengde maksimalt kan for enkelte avfallsbaserte produkter gi uønsket stor vekst første sesong. Nye resultater viser at en bør være særlig forsiktig med å legge ut 5 cm tykke lag avløpsslam ved etablering av grasbakke.

This analysis showed that significant differences in hydrology between catchments exist. In addition are large differences in hydrological characters obtained depending on the time resolution of the input data, in which scale, topography and subsurface drainage intensity to a large degree are assumed to be responsible for these differences. It is believed that a thorough understanding of the hydrological flow processes is necessary in the implementation of cost effective river basin management plans and in the selection of adequate measures. This study  showed that data collected at the small scale are important in the calibration/validation of models to be used in scenario analysis for implementation of best mangement practices.

The results of an analysis of runoff in 17 catchments, located in Norway, Estonia and Latvia are presented. Different parameters, like the coefficient of variation, skewness and kurtosis were calculated in addition to a number of additional parameters describing the hydrology. The calculations were performed on both hourly - and average daily discharges. The obtained results suggest considering the hourly discharges in the interpretation of hydrological processes in agricultural dominated catchments and its possible effects on nutrient and soil loss. In the light of expected climate changes, the hydrological characterisation could provide information about the possible developments in the hydrology and its consequences for nutrient and soil loss processes.
