1 Nutrient management in Schleswig- Holstein , Büdelsdorf, Friederike Lübben

2 European Union Groundwater Directive Water Framework Directive (2000) - Good quantitative and chemical status Nitrate directive (1991) -Aim: Reduce water pollution -Trigger value 50 mg/l -Good agricultural pratice Mapclean, wikimedia Germany Ordinance on Marketing and Transport of Manure (Verbringungsverordnung, 2010) Ordinance on Fertilizer Quality (Düngemittelverordnung, 2012) Ordinance on Fertiliser Application (2006) (Düngeverordnung) Lord Obvious, wikimedia Schleswig-Holstein State water law WSG-Verordnung AUKM Groundwater Consultation Alliance for groundwater protection Schleswig-Holstein. Der echte Norden. 2 Richie, wikimedia

3 Schleswig-Holstein What do we have? - App. 500 lakes bigger than 1 ha km river waters, 6000 km are important for WFD - 2 coastal waters (North- and Baltic Sea) Mainly in bad/ unsatisfactory status - 100% of the drinking water is groundwater! - More than 98% of the population are connected to the public supply system Responsibility for todays consumers 22 of 55 groundwater bodies are in bad chemical status! Schleswig-Holstein. Der echte Norden. 3 M.Staudt, grafikfoto.de

4 Groundwater consultation Since 2008: Consultation in a specific area - 20 agricultural farms in six areas App ha agricultural land Mainly on sandy Geest soils in SH 5 consulting institution Lecker und Bredstedter Geest: IGLU Schleswigsche Vorgeest: LKSH Geest between Hohenwestedt and Rendsburg: GWS-Nord Holsteinische Geest and Holsteinische Schweiz: INGUS Südholsteiner Geest and Büchener Sander: Geries LLUR444, 2015 Schleswig-Holstein. Der echte Norden. 4

5 Achievements - Nitrogen use efficiency significantly increases! - Mineral fertiliser use decreases - N-balances decreases Continuation of consultation is necessary! Schleswig-Holstein. Der echte Norden. 5

6 Schleswig-Holstein Our nutrient problem and our solution 22 of 55 groundwater bodies are in bad chemical status Objectives of the WFD are not reached! Main problem: diffuse nitrogen input from agricultural areas Our approaches: Modification of the State water law Participation in legislative processes Implementation of the Meldeverordnung Foundation of the Allianz für den Gewässerschutz Implementation of environmental measures (AUKM) Intensification of the groundwater consultation! LLUR444, 2014 Schleswig-Holstein. Der echte Norden. 6

7 Marshland Geest Eastern Östl. Hügelland hillside F. Steinmann Schleswig-Holstein. Der echte Norden. 7

8 Schleswig-Holstein Our cover layers Cover layers of the Geest are unfavorable nutrients and pollutants may seep into the groundwater. LLUR444, 2016 Schleswig-Holstein. Der echte Norden. 8

9 Maize cultivation in Schleswig-Holstein Regional distribution Increase in maize cultivation since Biogasboom since Renewable Energy Act (EEG) Schleswig-Holstein. Der echte Norden. 9

10 Schleswig-Holstein Our animal stock 400, ,000 Number of pigs 1,540,000 1,500, ,000 1,460, ,000 Number of dairy cows 1,420, Statistikamt Nord, 2014 Schleswig-Holstein. Der echte Norden. 10

11 Schleswig-Holstein Our nutrient surpluses Nutrient surpluses because of - High amount fertilisation - Increase of animal stock - Increase of biogas production increase of fermentation residues Schleswig-Holstein. Der echte Norden. 11 (vti, 2012)

12 Groundwater Consultation Since 2015 Extension and intensification of the consulting programm Funded by ELER (Art. 15; ELER-share = 53%) Requirements ELER: max for each consultation Application and tender process according to VOL Extension of consulting area (lakes, WSG) ha LF, farms Creation of a modular system which fits individually for each farm Main objective: Reach more farmers and more agricultural area! F. Steinmann Schleswig-Holstein. Der echte Norden. 12

13 Groundwater Consultation Consultation area LLUR444, 2015 Schleswig-Holstein. Der echte Norden. 13

14 Modular System Individual consultation Issue-specific consultation Group consultation 5 modules 9 modules 4 modules Fertiliser planning Field and farmgate balances Weighting of yields Recording of farm dates And much more! Analyses of farm manure, mineral N analysis, Nitra check, N-Testing Crop rotation Consultation to arable and grassland Erosion protection at lakes Groundwater protection areas And much more! Field surveys Exchange of information in working groups Specialist articles Lectures and presentations Newsletter And much more! Schleswig-Holstein. Der echte Norden. 14

15 Groundwater Consultation Moduar system Possible combination Individual thematic consultation, depending on farming type Special modules Group consultation Evaluation of operational data Schleswig-Holstein. Der echte Norden. 15

16 Achievements - So far 820 farmers could be reached by individual consultation! modules were concluded ( ) - Modules do have a special position and should be used depending on the location of the farm. - Many farmer are having first contact by field surveys. Reach more area and more farmers! I. Wandmacher, 2015 Schleswig-Holstein. Der echte Norden. 16

17 Conclusion - Without further reduction of nitrogen fertilizer, increasement of N- efficiency and redistribution of nutrient surpluses, we will not reach our objectives and solve our problem! - Amendment of the fertiliser ordinance will ease our nutrient problem, but not solve it! Groundwater consultation is one step in the right direction Fotos: F. Steinmann Schleswig-Holstein. Der echte Norden. 17
