Therefore, new strategies and solutions for managing rainwater and increasing flood resilience in urban areas are in continuous need of development. The basic research question is to determine whether using structural soil placed under pedestrian and courtyard surfaces in urban areas can increase their water retention capacity. Research methods are limited to qualitative and quantitative methods. Introducing the parameters of the maximum heavy rain recorded for the western part of Warsaw (rainfall station in Bielany, volatile rainfall from 2013 – 38.5 mm of rain fell in 90 min), around 6,502 m3 of rain would fall in total on the study area. Assuming that under the pavements and courtyards there is a base layer made of structural soil with a porosity of 30% on average, if we just used 100 mm of this layer, we would obtain over 2,218.5 m3 of water storage. In conclusion, structural soil used under pedestrian and courtyard surfaces would significantly improve rainwater retention in the study area in Praga Polnoc in Warsaw and reduce local flooding.","PeriodicalId":299545,"journal":{"name":"Annals of Warsaw University of Life Sciences - SGGW.

Hortitherapy is a phrase that can be understood in many ways, but above all it depicts a set of activities that include working in specially designed gardens. This article will focus on gardens that aim to help in therapy for people with neurodegenerative and mental health diseases. What catches our attention is that the matter is usually approached through the importance of garden therapy, yet most of the research pays little attention to the design part of the process. The methods used while composing a space for the use of therapy consists of the general rules of designing a landscape and the needs of the patients that are to benefi t from the therapy. Thanks to the research, we have established that particular needs of patients with mental disabilities require particular landscape elements. These elements are correlated with particular disabilities and needs.

There is an increasing need to use microorganisms for safe crop production for consumers, as well as to prevent environmental pollution and ensure the sustainability of agriculture and agricultural resources. The objective of this study was to evaluate possible effects of mineral fertilizer (NPK), one commercial liquid bio-fertilizer and ACC deaminase-containing, N2xing, and P-solubilizing bacteria-based bio-fertilizers in triple strain combinations (BF1: Bacillus subtilis RC28 + Paenibacillus polymyxa RC05 + Pseudomonas uorescens RC77; BF2: Bacillus subtilis RC63 + Paenibacillus polymyxa 24/3 + Pseudomonas uorescens 48/3; BF3: Bacillus atrophaeus 36/10 + Paenibacillus polymyxa 28/3 + Pseudomonas uorescens 51/2; BF4: Bacillus subtilis 39/3 + Bacillus subtilis RC63 + + Pseudomonas uorescens 53/6; BF5: Bacillus subtilis RC521 + Paenibacillus polymyxa 66/6 + Pseudomonas uorescens RC77; BF6: Bacillus megaterium 12/1 + Paenibacillus polymyxa RC35 + Pseudomonas uorescens 48/3) on the growth and enzyme activities in tea under natural acidic conditions over three years. The bio-fertilizer formulations stimulated overall plant growth, including shoot development, plant height, trunk diameter, leaf area, leaf yield, chlorophyll and anthocyanin content, and activities of oxidative, catalytic, hydrolytic and anti-oxidative enzymes, in the Turkish registered tea clones Tu lal -10. In addition, inoculation with bacterial formulation affected the activities of enzymes such as glutathione reductase, glutathione S-transferase, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase, polyphenol oxidase, peroxidase, urease, 5-dehydroshikimate reductase, and alcohol dehydrogenases. However, plant growth responses were variable and dependent on the formulations and parameter evaluated. The selected effective bio-formulations could play an important role in understanding the plants’ tolerance and adaptation to stress, and may contribute to improving the quality of tea products. Their ability to enhance plant growth will enable reductions in inputs of chemical fertilizer, and they have the potential to be used as a bio-fertilizer in sustainable and organic tea production. Our results indicate that a higher leaf yield potential in tea plants with bacterial inoculation can be expected on acidic soils in Turkey.","PeriodicalId":299545,"journal":{"name":"Annals of Warsaw University of Life Sciences - SGGW.

To study the effect of water de cit stress and methanol foliar application on sugar beet, an experiment was conducted in split plot form based on a randomized complete block design (RCBD) with three replications, at the Research Station of the Islamic Azad University, Tabriz Branch, north-western Iran, during the 2013–2014 growing seasons. The treatments were three levels of water de cit stress: a1 – mild stress (50% of eld irrigation capacity); a2 – fair stress (75% of eld irrigation capacity); and a3 – normal irrigation (100% of eld irrigation capacity); and seven levels of foliar application of methanol (b1:0, b2:5, b3:10, b4:15, b5:20, b6:25 and b7:30 percent by volume). The analysis of variance showed the signi cant effect of water de cit stress on root yield, sugar yield, chlorophyll content (p < 0.01), harvest index and leaf area index (p < 0.05). The results showed that 100% of eld irrigation capacity had the greatest effect, and mild stress (50% of capacity) the least effect, on root yield, sugar yield, harvest index, leaf area index and chlorophyll content. Also, the effect of methanol foliar application on root yield, sugar yield, harvest index, leaf area index and chlorophyll content was signi cant (p < 0.01). It was found that 20% (v/v) methanol foliar application led to increased chlorophyll content (332) and harvest index (66.37%) compared with the control. The plants treated with 20% (v/v) methanol also had the highest root yield (7.014 kg·m–2) and sugar yield (1,204 g·m–2).","PeriodicalId":299545,"journal":{"name":"Annals of Warsaw University of Life Sciences - SGGW.

The aim of our study was to evaluate the parameters relevant to genotoxicity test performance and results in certain Polish cultivars of (cid:191) eld beans, and to select the most appropriate bioindicator for the Vicia RTA. Six cultivars were used in the experiment: three low-tannin – ‘Amulet’, ‘Olga’ and ‘Kasztelan’ – and three high-tannin – ‘Nadwi (cid:286) la (cid:276) ski’, ‘Kodam’ and ‘Neptun’. We concluded that: the cultivar of the test plant in the Vicia faba RTA may signi (cid:191) cantly affect the test result, and therefore to obtain comparable data, the same cultivar should be used as the bioindicator; ‘Kodam’ and ‘Amulet’ seem to be the worst choices, because of the relatively high percentage of spontaneous chromosomal aberrations and lowest sensitivity to mitodepressive and genotoxic agents; the best recommendation appears to be the cultivar ‘Olga’, with the lowest spontaneous chromosomal aberration percentage, highest sensitivity to genotoxic agents and relatively high sensitivity to mitodepressive agents.","PeriodicalId":299545,"journal":{"name":"Annals of Warsaw University of Life Sciences - SGGW.
