Abstract
Under the climatic conditions of northwestern Europe silage maize Zea mays L production optimized with respect to nitrogen N fertilization and crop rotation is required to reduce N losses Whether winter catch crops CC can serve as a beneficial biological tool in terms of Nloss abatement as well as maize yield also under optimized N management is unclear Therefore a 2year field experiment was conducted to study the shortterm effects of a continuous maizecatch cropping system on maize yield performance N2O emission and N leaching as affected by maize harvest/CC sowing date 10 20 30 September and 15 October respectively hd1–hd4 and CC species rye Secale cereale L and Italian ryegrass Lolium multiflorum Lam Treatments without CC served as control and N fertilization was applied as synthetic N to better adjust to maize N demand The CC treatment with or without had no effect on maize dry matter and N yields but the N uptake efficiency of maize responded significantly to the N accumulation Ntot of CC Nitrate leaching mostly stayed below the critical load value for EU drinking water and rye significantly reduced nitrate leaching given that environmental conditions allowed sufficiently high CC biomass accumulation Annual nitrous oxide emission was unaffected by CC treatment Restricted N fertilization of maize following CC led to N deficiency since CC decomposition obviously was not synchronized with maize N demand Under the given environmental conditions rye may serve as beneficial CC in continuous maize cropping even in already optimized N managementThis research project was funded by the Ministry of Energy Agriculture Environment and Rural Area of SchleswigHolstein which is gratefully acknowledged We are grateful to M Hasler for his statistical advice and special thanks go to A Hopkins for linguistic editing to P Voss and K Makoben for laboratory analysis to B Pitann for expert technical assistance in mass spectrometry and to R Loges for support in NIRS
