Environmental pollution by heavy metals has become a serious problem in the world. Phytoextraction, which is one of the plant-based technologies, has attracted the most attention for the bioremediation of soils polluted with these contaminants. The aim of this study was to determine whether the multiple-tolerant bacterium, Brevibacterium casei MH8a isolated from the heavy metal-contaminated rhi...

Cultivation of perennials such as Miscanthus x giganteus Greef et Deuter (Mis) combines the provision ecosystem services and generation additional carbon sources for farming. The potential Mis based fertilisers, regarding immobilisation inorganic nitrogen (N) build-up soil organic matter (SOM), was tested in a field trial. Therefore, crop rotation winter barley (Hordeum vulgare L.), mustard (Si...

Genotypes selected from 3 plant species (Brassica rapa, Eruca vesicaria and Sinapis alba) belonging to the Brassicaceae family were chosen compare concentrations of 9 inorganic elements (Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Ni, Mn, Pb Zn) in these varieties, that grown under both conventional organic conditions during two agricultural seasons (2018/2019 2019/2020) on different experimental farms (Farm I Farm II...

Glucosinolate profiles differ among plant species and their isothiocyanate (ITC) derivatives differ in toxicity to nematodes. Successful management of plant–parasitic nematodes by ITCs requires the incorporation of appropriate amounts of glucosinolate-containing biomass. Plant materials, containing glucosinolate-precursors of the ITCs most toxic to nematodes, were selected and applied to soil b...
