Heuchera is one of the most important decorative perennials, present in garden, city and park plantings. In recent years, it has also gained importance as a plant for pot compositions, and as a floristic material. The aim of this work is to present an effective protocol for the intensification of the production of Heuchera ‘Silver Scrolls’ in tissue cultures. The effect of the macroelement composition from three types of medium: MS (Murashige and Skoog), QL (Quoirin and Lepoivre), and DKW (Driver and Kuniyuki Walnut) was checked, while the microelements and vitamins in all the treatments were according to the MS recipe. The effect of four concentrations (0.1, 0.5, 1.0, 2.0 mg·L–1) of cytokinins: benzyladenine (BA) and meta-Topolin (mT) on the number and length of shoots was evaluated. Also the effect of different concentrations of auxins: IBA (indole-3-butyric acid) or NAA (1-naphthylacetic acid) on the percentage of rooted cuttings as well as the number and length of roots was determined. The last culture phase was the acclimatization in a greenhouse. The media and the growth regulators significantly affected the rate of propagation in the coral bells. The highest shoot number was obtained on the modified QL with BA, while NAA gave better results of rooting than IBA. Optimal conditions for micropropagation allow to obtain approx. 10,000 microplants from a single explant during the three months of culture.","PeriodicalId":299545,"journal":{"name":"Annals of Warsaw University of Life Sciences - SGGW.

In the years 2017–2018, research was carried out on the occurrence of fungal diseases on four plantations of highbush blueberry plants located in central Poland. The aim of the research was to isolate and identify pathogens from diseased parts of plants of highbush blueberry. Four fungi species were identified based on traditional methods with mycological keys – visible symptoms were present on infected parts of the plants and the morphology structure. On all of the tested plantations, symptoms of Botrytis cinerea, Godronia cassandrae and Phomopsis vaccinii were observed. The Valdensia heterodoxa like symptoms were observed too, but only once. The second part of the research was an evaluation of the effectiveness of seven fungicides in control of grey mould disease of highbush blueberry. The research was conducted using both pesticides commonly recommended for the protection of highbush blueberry plantations against grey mould disease as well as fungicides permitted for use on other berry plants (strawberry and raspberry).

The phytotoxicity of sludge mixtures with soils was influenced by the concentration of sludge and the type of soil. In the case of sludge/sand mixtures, even a 3% sludge concentration was phytotoxic, whereas in sludge/ /peat substrate mixtures, the phytotoxic effect was observed only in the 25% concentration. Unfortunately, in this and also a lower (6%) concentration of sludge in a sludge/peat substrate mixture, a strong phytogenotoxic effect was noticed.

The rapid expansion of residential buildings in suburban areas currently makes these places particularly exposed to spatial degradation, the disappearance of traditional rural landscapes and other various problems. The lack of architectural and urban cohesion of new and existing buildings is one of the reasons for increasing spatial disorder. The subject of the presented research is the physical features of the building forms, which influence spatial order through their role in shaping the spatial context. The authors aimed at creating a method of spatial monitoring based on the characteristics of the physical features of buildings located in a given area. The results of the study are intended to provide in-depth and digestible information on the buildings in individual areas.

Can everyone use the urban open spaces in Poland? The article presents problems of designing urban open spaces (UOSs) in the context of their accessibility for individual users from various angles. First, it analyses aspects that should be taken into account, especially those that can contribute to the increase in UOSs’ accessibility and safety for people with special needs. Second, it considers issues pertaining to legal provisions that define design guidelines for individual elements of a space. Next, the paper also examines recent support for disabled people by the government, in particular the governmental programme “Accessibility Plus” and the new Accessibility Law. And finally, this publication is also an attempt to determine the general state of accessibility of UOSs located in Poland in relation to existing legal provisions. The law that does not oblige designers to plan accessibility with specific regulations cannot ensure UOSs’ accessibility. The article expounds that legal provisions should be stated as clear guidelines, and despite the fact that the Polish government is attempting to improve the present situation, the author postulates that further changes are needed.","PeriodicalId":299545,"journal":{"name":"Annals of Warsaw University of Life Sciences - SGGW.

The range of research in the publication concerned the problems during the construction process and the functioning of green spaces based on the example of the artistic installation called ‘Tęcza’ (‘Rainbow’). The range of problems has been presented, concerning the construction of all-accessible urban areas. After they have been specifi ed, appropriate solutions have been offered aiming at diminishing or avoiding them. The research has been conducted with use of the survey method among offi cials, designers and the contractors of urban investments. The most common problems faced by the surveyed groups are: lack of communication between individual participants in the investment as well as lack of social consultations. All the surveyed spoke of formal diffi culties. The offi cials point to negligence on behalf of the designers and contractors. The former, on the other hand, point out to the offi cials’ incompetence and lack of factual preparation. Undoubtedly all participants in the research would like to see the investment process improved and their knowledge on it deepened. All of them emphasize that in the whole “investment triangle” it is the society that is the most important as well as any citizen-user of the public space. It may be concluded that all surveyed participants suggest both: the need of increasing education within the scope examined by the author and ensuring (at municipal level) a coordinator responsible for green investments in a city.","PeriodicalId":299545,"journal":{"name":"Annals of Warsaw University of Life Sciences - SGGW.

The following text concerns the genesis and history of the transformation of Vogla street, historically located within the borders of the Wilanów Estate, a relic of Dutch settlement, currently one of the most intensely used roads in this part of Warsaw. Vogla street in its present shape was constructed in the 19th century, due to the intensifi cation of Dutch settlements on the banks of Vistula. The settlers, adapting fl ood plains to agricultural purposes, introduced many forms of landscaping characteristic of their culture and tradition. Among them were roads reinforced with willow branches and stones, built on high embankments, sometimes planted along with poplars or willows. This kind of road was called by the Dutch settlers a trift, transformed in Polish into trytwa. Vogla street, and in particular its central part, surrounded by wetlands, is an example of a trytwa.

The temple is situated on the outskirts of the village, on a low hill, where there was a castle founded by prince Daniel Halicki in the Middle Ages. The Orthodox church existed here before 1220, and for the first decades of its functioning it had the status of a council. Today, the existing church building was erected in 1849 as a Greek Catholic temple founded by the owner of local estate, Laura Kirsztejnowa. In 1915, the church was abandoned when the Orthodox residents of Uhrusk became refugees. In the years 1920–1927, it was renovated, due to significant losses suffered during the First World War and the Polish-Bolshevik war. The building was open again from 1920 to 1947, after which it was closed following the deportation of Orthodox Ukrainians as part of the “Wisla” Operation. At the end of the 1950s, the Orthodox church was restored for liturgical use as a branch of the parish in Wlodawa. The style of the building is defined as classicist-Byzantine with neo-Romanesque and neo-Gothic elements. In 2017, on the initiative of the Dialog Foundation in Lublin, a general renovation of the temple building and its surroundings began. Studies conducted with the use of specialized diagnostic equipment in the form of a PiCUS® Sonic Tomograph 3 were important for the dendrological inventory. Within the boundaries of the property, 11 trees are growing, at different ages and in a healthy state. On the basis of the material collected, possible directions for the restoration of the Orthodox church’s surroundings were presented.","PeriodicalId":299545,"journal":{"name":"Annals of Warsaw University of Life Sciences - SGGW.
