Abstract
This article displays a dataset obtained in a field trial conducted in 2016 on a sandy loam and a coarse sandy soil, Denmark. Leaf phosphorus (P) and nitrogen (N) concentrations at the five-leaf stage (V5) and final dry matter (DM) yields of silage maize were determined in response to seven treatments with placed slurry below the maize row. Two row-injection methods combined with slurry acidification or addition of a nitrification inhibitor were tested. Furthermore final crop P uptake and P surplus at field level were determined.This dataset can be used to assess the effect of placed slurry with or without slurry acidification and addition of a nitrification inhibitor on silage maize yields and to enhance our knowledge on maize P uptake and P surpluses at field level. In turn this can support the design of appropriate row-injection machinery of slurry.The data supplied in this article is related to the research article entitled “Row-injected cattle slurry can replace mineral P starter fertiliser and reduce P surpluses without compromising final yields of silage maize” [1], where results from 2017 and 2018 are presented and discussed. The trials in 2016, 2017 and 2018 were conducted on the same study sites. The experimental design in 2017 and 2018 was a full-factorial design and did also include reference treatments with evenly injected slurry, whereas these reference treatments were not included in the present article.

Summary
Agronomy and Crop Science Row-injection of cattle slurry in maize cropping Table Figure In-season sampling of youngest fully developed leaves and determination of final yields at harvest in a field experiment with maize Raw Analyzed A field experiment was conducted in 2016 on two soil types; a coarse sandy soil and a sandy loam. Title: “Row-injected cattle slurry can replace mineral P starter fertiliser and reduce P surpluses without compromising final yields of silage maize” Journal: European Journal of Agronomy. The data is useful to assess the effect of different slurry row-injection techniques on silage maize yields grown in humid temperate regions. Other scientist studying slurry management and maize cropping can benefit from these data, when dealing with studies on crop growth in response to placed slurry. The data offers information on maize yield in two additional trials conducted in 2016 related to [1], where data from 2017 and 2018 are presented
