Gałka","doi":"10.24326/as.2022.3.1","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.24326/as.2022.3.1","url":null,"abstract":"Fosfor jest niezbędnym, ale i ograniczonym w występowaniu pierwiastkiem o dużym znaczeniu dla wszystkich żywych organizmów, w tym także dla roślin. Światowe złoża fosforytów wykorzystywanych do produkcji nawozów fosforowych ulegają szybkiemu wyczerpaniu, stąd pierwiastek ten został umieszczony na tzw. liście surowców krytycznych. Rolnictwo i ogrodnictwo w dużym stopniu uzależnione jest od wykorzystania nawozów fosforowych w celu utrzymania produkcji żywności oraz pasz o wysokiej jakości. Przewiduje się, że zapotrzebowanie na fosfor jako nawóz wzrośnie wraz ze wzrostem liczby ludności na świecie z obecnych 7,2 mld do 9,6 mld w 2050 r. Stąd należy poszukiwać alternatywnych jego źródeł. Potencjalnym źródłem fosforu są różnego rodzaju odpady m.in. osady ściekowe czy popioły powstające w wyniku ich spalania. Bezpośredniewykorzystanie osadów ściekowych w rolnictwie oraz ich składowanie jest obecnie zastępowane przez termiczną utylizację czy odzysk składników pokarmowych. Dzięki wykorzystaniu gospodarki o charakterze cyrkularnym, osady ściekowe jako potencjalnie niebezpieczne odpady, jednocześnie zasobne w fosfor, zostają przekształcone w gotowy produkt i wracają ponownie do środowiska w postaci nawozów. Produktem odzysku fosforu z osadów ściekowych jest m.in. struwit, który może być z powodzeniem wykorzystany w rolnictwie. Priorytetem polityki gospodarczej UE jest produkcja nawozów w sposób zrównoważony, który zostanie spełniony np. poprzez produkcję struwitu. Struwit w swoim składzie zawiera nie tylko fosfor, ale także azot i magnez. Ilość fosforu i magnezu, jaka może zostać wprowadzona wraz ze struwitem do gleby, jest większa niż w przypadku typowych nawozów mineralnych. Zawartość azotu i potasu w nawozach struwitowych jestniższa w porównaniu z tradycyjnymi nawozami. Dlatego zaleca się stosowanie struwitu w połączeniu z nawozami konwencjonalnymi, dla optymalnego zbilansowania poszczególnych makroskładników. Struwit uważany jest za skuteczny nawóz wolno uwalniający składniki pokarmowe, który z powodzeniem może być aplikowany w uprawie roślin rolniczych, warzywniczych czy ozdobnych. \u0000Niski indeks zasolenia, ograniczone wymywanie składników odżywczych i wysoka jakość nawozu wynikająca z niskiej zawartości metali ciężkich czynią struwit nawozem przyjaznym dla środowiska. Struwit jako nawóz doglebowy nie powoduje zwiększenia zawartości metali ciężkich w roślinach oraz podłożu. Aplikacja struwitu pozytywnie wpływa na plony wielu gatunków roślin uprawnych. Wstępne badania nad jego wykorzystaniem w produkcji roślinnej wskazują nawet na wyższą skuteczność w porównaniu z typowymi nawozami fosforowymi rozpuszczalnymi w wodzie. W związku z tym przyszłe badania nad struwitem powinny koncentrować się m.in. na optymalizacji produkcji i wykorzystania nawozów powstałych na bazie osadów ściekowych w nawożeniu różnych gatunków upraw rolniczych, ogrodniczych czy sadowniczych.","PeriodicalId":100343,"journal":{"name":"Crop Science, Soil Science, Agronomy News","volume":"18 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75725384","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Currently, Poland in 2020 ranks 59th globally and fifth in the European Union in terms of utilised agricultural areas. Considering the population of agricultural workers, Poland are the first in the European Union. Results of studies concerning the production and consumption of basic agricultural raw materials indicate that Poland is a country mostly featuring a food production surplus. From 2010 to 2020, its level of self-sufficiency to the extent of basic cereals was variable; however, grain production surplus was recorded in the analysed period. Similar observations were made for the production of potatoes and vegetables. Only in some years did fruit production show a deficit or was at the domestic consumption level. As regards milk and eggs, Poland was self-sufficient in the whole analysed period, and the dynamics of increase in the surplus of milk and eggs was proportional to the 2010 year. From 2010 to 2020, Poland recorded a high surplus of poultry meat and beef that increased every year using a dynamic approach. The level of self-sufficiency to the extent of pork supplies was highly varied. From 2010 to 2015, a deficit occurred that decreased year on year, and from 2018 to 2020, it reached a surplus of 71 000, 62 000 and 40 000 tonnes, respectively. Surveys regarding Poland’s balance of foreign trade in agri-food products did not confirm food self-sufficiency in 2010; however, from 2015 to 2020, the balance was positive and was growing throughout the survey period, which means that Poland exported more agri-food products than it imported. Many households representing the part of the society with the poorest income declare they are not able to eat red meat or poultry every other day. A systematic reduction in the calorific value of food consumed in Polen is also puzzling as lower than the reference (2350 kcal), and in 2019 it reached a distressing daily intake value of 1999 kcal per capita.","PeriodicalId":100343,"journal":{"name":"Crop Science, Soil Science, Agronomy News","volume":"18 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75607726","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Comparative analysis between local and introduced wheat genotypes revealed that the local genotypes had lower protein content than those of foreign origin. Fourteen polymorphic RAPD markers were used to assess genetic diversity among selected wheat varieties. The mean similarity among wheat genotypes was 67%. Genetic similarity among local wheat varieties was higher (83%) than among those of foreign origin (66%). The wheat genotypes were grouped into two main clusters on UPGMA dendrogram constructed based on Dice similarity coefficients. A clear clustering of genotypes according to the origin wasobserved. This clustering was also supported by principal coordinate analysis (PCoA) results. There was no observed clustering based on the protein content. The data revealed that local wheat genetic had narrow genetic diversity, however the wheat genotypes of foreign origin constitute a promising material to be employed in breeding programs aiming the increase of wheat protein content and genetic diversity.","PeriodicalId":100343,"journal":{"name":"Crop Science, Soil Science, Agronomy News","volume":"26 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84971068","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Cropping system – sole cropping and strip intercropping; 2. Weed control – mechanical and chemical. Changes in the diversity of the segetal flora are analysed using the species richness index (S), the Shannon-Wiener diversity index (H’), the Margalef index (R), the Simpson dominance index (D) and Pielou’s evenness index (J’). The use of chemical weed control increased the diversity of the weed community in all species tested compared to mechanical weed regulation. Chemical weed regulation significantly decreased the value of Simpson dominance index due to the limitation of the occurrence of dominant weed species.

Moreover, the seeds were sown into soil with and without EM conditioning, designated as 0 and PEM. The yield fluctuations depended mostly on the studied rye and triticale cultivars. The best effects we observed in soil without EM conditioning for Dańkowskie Złote rye and Moderato triticale. The increase in grain and straw yields was, respectively: 26% (RL), 31% (RL × EM), 40% (EM), and 17% (RL × EM), 23% (RL), 32% (EM) – Dańkowskie Złote, 27% (RL × EM), 44% (EM), 46% (RL), and 17% (RL × EM), 51% (EM), 78% (RL) – Moderato. In turn, seeds exposed to the experimental treatment and sown into soil containing EM produced reduced yields in both of the above cultivars. It is noteworthy that the conditioning methods employed in the field experiment can facilitate increased yields but most importantly contribute to the resilience of agrosystems and can therefore have environmental benefits.
