Abstract
To stop phosphor build up in the soil and leaching to surface and ground waters, the Dutch government is gradually reducing allowable phosphate application on grassland from 130 kg/ha in 2005 to 90 kg/ha per year in 2015. A field experiment was started to monitor the phosphate balances: for three soil types: sandy, peat and clay soils
