Limited tillage provides a number of benefits, but question remains how it affects weed community and biodiversity evolving from the community. Our field experiment was established in cadastral area Branišovice (South Moravian Region, Czech Republic). Three different technologies were used this experiment: conventional tillage, minimum no-tillage technology. In 2001–2004, infestation by weeds evaluated stands spring barley, winter wheat grown after dicot pre-crop (rape, soybean), wheat,...
The aim of the study was to determine effect succession vegetation on population earthworms in selected vineyards.Earthworms (Annelida, Lumbricidae) are an important group soil invertebrates.The vineyards is influenced by environmental conditions and human activities.The presence beneficial ecosystem aerate soil, improving quality structure vineyards.They decompose organic matter, contribute formation humus, increase fertility.Vegetation cover affects earthworm populations.The species...
Maintaining biodiversity in agricultural landscapes is a major challenge for environmental protection Europe. Vineyards rely heavily on agrotechnical interventions such as herbicide use and tillage weed control, which affect can lead to soil erosion resistant populations. The fragmentation of affects by altering community composition often reducing plant population sizes genetic diversity. However, it also increase the abundance certain species enhance resilience change. support high levels...
The relationships between weeds and insects in canola stands with different seeding rates are not fully understood. Varying crops can create conditions that affect both weed insect populations their interactions. aim of this work was to determine the response selected taxa densities stand clarify interactions stands. field experiment conducted on a plot located cadastral area municipality Pěnčín (Moravia, Czech Republic). results show reduced sowing rate oilseed rape leads increased...
Composting enables microbial decomposition of biodegradable organic fractions municipal solid waste (OFMSW) and converts them into a valuable resource having profuse application in agriculture horticulture. The efficiency composting, primarily, would depend upon physico-chemico-biological properties the feedstock (moisture content, particle size matter) operational parameters (temperature, aeration rate frequency, presence bulking agents microorganisms). However, lack appropriate selection...
Rapeseed, weeds, and pathogens interact with each other. However, these interactions are not well understood. The aim of our work was to describe the relationships between weed vegetation pathogen manifestations in rapeseed stands. Results from four seasons show that different stand structures produce responses. Eighteen species were identified selected characteristics stands, pathogens, evaluated using redundancy analysis. Rapeseed stands highest levels present (Alternaria brassiceae...
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are introduced to the environment from anthropogenic and natural sources.The most significant source of PAH wildfires volcanic eruptions.The PAHs occurring in soil mostly bind root system plants.Phytodegradation, specifically rhizospheric degradation, can reduce levels with help plants roots.A pot experiment was conducted study effect application amendments on level burnt (BS).The aim this assess (compost, biochar, bentonite) after performing two grass...
Fires have always been a natural component influencing ecosystems and driving their evolution; however, in recent years they become too frequent are not able to cope with them anymore.Fires destroy the vegetation, which prevents soil erosion, affect properties delay recovery of fire affected area.This experiment was conducted assess phytotoxicity investigate whether different amendments can help decrease negative effect on properties.The study utilised Phytotoxkit TM test.The tested burnt...
Cigarette butts (CBs) have only recently begun to be considered environmentally harmful waste.CBs are common waste in the environment, that can cause air, soil, and water pollution pose a threat living.CBs should treated as toxic hazardous due its slow decomposition accumulation of many substances.There is lack research on adaptation CBs environment what impact they vegetation.Therefore, present work aimed understand toxicity smoked CBs.Leachates various concentrations were assessed with...
