Key findings
Substantial drainage (> 100mm) was simulated from both the summer and winter phases of the rotation. Crop N demand was close to crop N supply for all rotation elements with the exception of potato which had an average surplus of 89 kg N/ha.
The potential exists for substantial seasonal N leaching losses from all elements of the crop rotations but potato was the ‘leakiest’ of all crops with an average loss of 29 kg N/ha.
