Phosphorus fertilizers were applied according to the fertilization scheme in the period 1933–1935. In 1940 annual rates of P2O5 were increased from 60 to 120kg/ha in one treatment. Phosphorus fertilization rates were not changed in the period 1936–1953. Then the site has been divided on two parts : half of each treatment used for monitor aftereffect of fertilizers, the second half has been used for application phosphorus fertilizers without change. In latter case superphosphate was applied in 1953, 1965, 1974, and 1980. 

Sulfate ammonium as nitrogen fertilizer in annual rates 200kg/ha from 1937 to 1948, and since 1949 - 300kg/ha . 

K fertilizers were applied in annual rates 120kg/ha periodically, and since 1949 –– 200kg/ha once in two years. 

Long-term residual effect (more than 50 years) for big rates of P application was demonstrated. Bulk application of big rates is more advantageous than annual rate of 120 kg/ha.

sediments in upper Quaternary. 

","The experiment includes 5 fields with the following crop rotation: peas (beans)- winter wheat-winter barley-sunflower-grain corn. 

In the field experiment exist 3 types of fertilisation systems since 1991: 

1. Mineral system. 

Application of mineral fertilizers. Soil residues were removed.
