Cultivation of energy crops is a part modern agriculture. In particular, maize (Zea mays L.) widely grown in central Europe. However, terms erosion risk and high demands on fertilization protection against diseases pests, its growing not environmentally friendly. Therefore, possibilities utilization other more friendly have been examined at present. The aim the study was to evaluate effects var...

The effect of mineral fertilization (NPK), foliar with micronutrients (Cu, Zn and Mn) the NanoGro biostimulant on severity leaf, spike, stem base root diseases in winter spelt cv. Schwabenkorn was evaluated a field-plot experiment. A mycological analysis performed content Fusarium mycotoxins grain determined. Mineral exerted varied effects Septoria leaf blotch glume blotch, they promoted spread...

Iodine biofortification of vegetables can become an alternative (to iodized salt) method of introducing this element into human diet. Development of agronomic rules concerning its application requires detailed evaluation of iodine influence on plant physiological and biological processes including mineral nutrition and quality of yield. The aim of the study was to determine the effect of iodine...

Climate-induced warming of the Arctic tundra is expected to increase nutrient availability to soil microbes, which in turn may accelerate soil organic matter (SOM) decomposition. We increased nutrient availability via fertilization to investigate the microbial response via soil enzyme activities. Specifically, we measured potential activities of seven enzymes at four temperatures in three soil ...

[1] Chemical weathering is an integral part of both the rock and carbon cycles and is being affected by changes in land use, particularly as a result of agricultural practices such as tilling, mineral fertilization, or liming to adjust soil pH. These human activities have already altered the terrestrial chemical cycles and land-ocean flux of major elements, although the extent remains difficult...
