The use of compost in agriculture aims to close material loops, to conserve finite resources as phosphorus and to contribute to soil fertility. The Austrian Agency for Health and Food Safety conducts a field experiment in Upper Austria on a loamy silt soil since 1991 to investigate the influence of compost application on crop yields and soil parameters. The field trial consists of a control plot (zero N), minerally fertilised plots (40kg N, 80kg N, 120 kg N ha-1 y-1) and plots amended with biowaste compost (from source-separated organic waste.
