Abstract

Models are potentially useful tools for both growers and policy makers, to guide the nitrogen fertilization in order to reconcile environmental and productive issues. This research aimed at testing two water balances and nitrogen transport models, MACRO/SOILN (Larsson and Jarvis, 1999; Marchetti et al., 2000) and CRITERIA (Marletto et al., 2001; Hutson and Wagenet, 1992), in actual cropping conditions in a rather large area of the eastern Po river plain. It was funded by the regional government of Emilia-Romagna through the CRPV, in order to support the regional nitrogen application policies for a more sustainable crop production.
