Basic information about the field
Area: 4,56 ha
Soil type: humus rich sandy loam
The field is bordering a road from two sides, but is misshapen from edges. Stiffness of the soil type restricts the plant choices.
Restoration procedures: The outcome of the drainage was renewed in autumn 2020

Nutrient fibre has been applied to the field in 2022. The field is used to study carbon sequestration in soil and there is gas measurement are in the field by HiiletIn.
Cultivation procedures
During the growing season, three different varieties of barley were cultivated on the field. In addition, experiments on the use of recycled fertilizers and field crops were conducted on the field.

Experimentations
Five heritage wheat and seven oats (two normal varieties and five heritage oat varieties) were cultivated in the experimental field of the Diversity in the field -project. Oats were in seed production. Mineral and sugar analyzes were commissioned for heritage wheat varieties. Yield data, thousand-grain weight and protein percentage were collected from heritage wheat.
