Organic matter has a very important function in soil, without which, soil formation processes cannot take place properly. It can be divided and classified based on several aspects; the most general division is between living non-living parts of organic matter. The results presented this paper specifically refer to microbial part This research was carried out years 2021–2024 South Bohemia region located Czech Republic. Two types land use (four permanent grassland areas, two forest areas) were...
Currently, when cultivating Humulus lupulus, there is no systematic farming reducing soil erosion in the Czech Republic. As a result, annual irreversible and organic matter losses due to intensive rains occur on soils of hop gardens threatened by erosion. One possibilities how reduce water thereby decrease amount washed away using conservation effect suitably selected catch crops inter-rows. Two were test: Phacelia tanacetifolia grass-legume mixture. Organic key factor maintain stable...
Soil erosion by water causes the loss of soil mineral particles and organic carbon (SOC). For determining effectiveness conservation measures on arable land, rainfall simulations are regularly carried out in field trials Czech Republic. The objective this study was to analyse a dataset from 82 bare fallow soils, containing information slope inclination, texture, bulk density, SOC, with respect preferential fine-grained enrichment SOC eroded soil. Each simulation comprised first period 30 min...
The impact of the conservation tillage "maize into grass cover" on reducing soil loss due to erosion | Eva Procházková, David Kincl, Kabelka, Jan Vopravil, Pavel Nerušil, Ladislav Menšík, Vojtěch Barták Agricultural Journals
The growing global population and increasing demand for agricultural products have exerted significant pressure on systems. As a result, soil organic matter depletion degradation become prevalent issues, including in regions such as South Bohemia, Czech Republic, where conventional farming practices are predominant. Soil (SOM) plays critical role health, crop productivity, the sustainability of systems, with changes occurring both total labile fractions pools. However, carbon pool (TOC)...
Soil degradation caused by water erosion in sloping hop gardens is definitely a serious issue because the space inter-rows without plant residues for most of year traditional cultivation. Cover crops and their efficiency soil conservation are assessed this article. There only little research available area, our data bring unique information on gardens. Technologies with different types cover were always compared conventional The was conducted within years 2016–2020. A field rainfall...
The aim of the article was to verify curve number (CN) values given in National Engineering Handbook (NEH) methodology, whether they really correspond all wide-row crops. tested crops were maize, hops and potatoes grown using conventional soil conservation technologies. All these are classified as crops, but very different terms cultivation process. basis for calculation our CN field measurements carried out a rainfall simulator within time span from 2014 2020 on corresponding hydrological...
Abstract The research presented in the article was focused on determining C-factor for hops conventional cultivation (CT) and soil conservation technique, which is based presence of cover crops (CC) inter-rows. values loss ratio, are basis calculation C-factor, also presented. activities were carried out between 2016 2023 a field rainfall simulator used measurements. Rainfall simulations conducted at three developmental stages CC. results show high value CT (0.73), indicates insufficient...
Knowledge of the issue water movement in soil is basis for agricultural activity, but also many other sectors. One basic indicators that evaluated science rate infiltration into soil. The article specifically states how texture and moisture affect infiltration. results show changes can be significant certain trends traced. most affected by sand fraction (soil particles 0.05–2 mm). higher percentage these soil, lower depending on degree saturation. further evaluates relation to texture. were...
Abstract Soil degradation and water erosion are undoubtedly serious global problems. Moreover, excessive surface runoff the lack of in landscape problems encountered not only Czech agricultural land. This condition is unsustainable long-term it necessary to find, verify quantify suitable methods for reducing soil degradation. In this study, we tested two conservation technologies sorghum ( Sorghum bicolor ) cultivation. Our results show that was reduced by more than 78% (no-till) 89%...
Water erosion and the subsequent sediment deposits can cause a number of environmental problems. The damage be mitigated by means barriers. Their use is most often associated with construction or protection transport infrastructure. In some cases, they also used in forestry agriculture. However, there still questions concerning barriers regarding their proper function, efficiency implementation parameters. For these reasons, we decided to verify three types They were tested simulated...
Surface runoff and soil losses in the case of potato cultivation using de-stoning technology on gentle slopes (Haplic Cambisol) were studied 2020–2022. Different ridges shapes compared: control (smooth shaped ridges), pits, pits plus loosening, loosening cover crop (Triticum aestivum L.) sowing trail furrows. Runoff approximately 1 2 months after planting potatoes. The obtained results showed highest reduction surface treatment with sowing. In this variant, reduced by 65–81% (1 month...
