Two decades long-term field trial data on fertilization, tillage, and crop rotation focusing on soil microbes.

ABSTRACT: Agricultural long-term field trials provide fundamental data on crop performance and soil characteristics under diverse management practices. This information represents essential knowledge for upcoming challenges in food and nutrition security. Data provided here have been compiled since 2004 from a nitrogen(N)-fertilization intensity, tillage, and crop rotation field trial in Central Germany including standardized metrics regarding soil management, physical soil properties, crop management, crop characteristics, yield, and harvest quality parameters. In 2015, the field trial became a member of the German Agricultural Soil Research Program BonaRes. Numerous measurement results were added including plant physiology and soil and rhizosphere microbiology. DNA of bacterial/archaeal and fungal
