In recent decades, increasing human pressure has caused the gradual deterioration of physical and chemical properties water soil. Salinity is an important factor influencing quality water. The aim this comprehensive research was to determine effect concentrations sodium chloride, which a salinity inducer, on yield, photosynthesis efficiency (expressed with chlorophyll fluorescence measurement) content selected nutrients in leaves hydroponically grown lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.). Experiments...
Phytohormones are chemical substances that regulate plants growth, reproductive processes, longevity, development, and even death. One of the most common representatives this group is indole-3-butyric acid (IBA), which widely applied in various branches agriculture. Taking into consideration conversion conventional herbicides ionic liquids leads to enhancement their biological activity, we decided implement same strategy for selected phytohormone. Hence, synthesized a homologous series...
The aim of this study was to investigate the effects maleic acid (MA), salicylic (SA), and citric (CA) on alleviating drought stress a lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) hydroponic culture. effect these organic acids tested under conditions induced by polyethene glycol (PEG 6000) at 5% 7.5% concentrations. Drought reduced fresh dry matter yields plants. treatment caused increasing tendencies in weight yield:control (SA, MA), PEG MA, CA)) yield (control MA)). also enhanced nutrient uptake stressed...
Microgreens are foods with high nutritional value, which can be further enhanced biofortification. Crop biofortification involves increasing the accumulation of target nutrients in edible plant tissues through fertilization or other factors. The purpose present study was to evaluate potential for some vegetable microgreens iron (Fe) enrichment. effect nutrient solution supplemented chelate (1.5, 3.0 mg/L) on plant's growth and mineral concentration purple kohlrabi, radish, pea, spinach...
This study evaluated the effect of increasing manganese (Mn) nutrition on content antioxidative compounds such as vitamin C, lycopene and polyphenols, antioxidant activity tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill., cvs 'Alboney F1' 'Emotion F1') fruit. Plants were grown in rockwool using a nutrient solution with following Mn (mg dm-3): 0.0, 0.3, 0.6, 1.2, 2.4, 4.8, 9.6 19.2. The level C decreased nutrition. Since colour fruits was correlated change carotenoid content, decrease promoted reduction...
Effect of Magnesium Nutrition Onion ( Allium cepa L.). Part I. Yielding and Nutrient Status (Mg) serves specific physiological functions in plants, as it participates 250÷400 processes may not be replaced by other elements, even those exhibiting similar physicochemical properties, such Co 2+ , Mn or Ni . The aim the conducted studies was to optimize magnesium nutrition onion L.), through evaluation yielding determine its effect on contents following elements leaves bulbs: nitrogen (N),...
The aim of experiments was to assess the efficiency choline-stabilized orthosilicic acid (ch-OSA; complex with choline and a bioavailable source silicon) application under increasing manganese (Mn) stress on micronutritional composition yielding tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L. cvs. 'Alboney F1' 'Emotion F1'). Plants were grown in rockwool nutrient solution varied Mn concentrations (in mg dm(-3)): 9.6 19.2 which cause strong oxidative plants comparing optimal concentration that microelement...
The main aim of the present study was to evaluate influence chemical composition a nutrient solution (NS I, NS II), seed inoculation with Effective Microorganisms (EM), and assimilation illumination (AI) plants on growth, development nutritional status lettuce (<em>Lactuca sativa </em>L.) in hydroponic cultivation microbiological changes medium. measurements were as follows: quantity leaves per plant (LQ), surface area biggest (SBL), relative chlorophyll content (SPAD units),...
Pollution of the Natural Environment in Intensive Cultures Under Greenhouses The last two decades have brought a significant modernization methods cultivation greenhouses. Soilless cultures, isolated from soils, become common practice, similarly as fertigation (fertilization + irrigation) installations, although most them are applied open system (with no recirculation), where excess nutrient solution is removed straight to soil. This situation was reason why it decided conduct studies,...
A way to alleviate excessive Mn nutrition of plants is through silicon application. The aim the present study was examine effect different Si concentrations in a nutrient solution and plant spraying treatments (in form silica sol) on yielding nutritional status hydroponically grown lettuce under Mn-stress. experiments were conducted controlled conditions phytotron. influence following levels (5.5 – control; 15.5; 23.25 31 mg dm-3) foliar sprays (distilled water; solution) investigated....
Trees have multi-aspect influence on the microclimate in urbanised areas. Therefore, it is important to investigate biotic and abiotic factors affecting their health. The aim of conducted study was assess chemical composition soils nutritional status lime horse chestnut trees selected sites these condition health tree species research (n = 643) growing different parts city. plants were analysed for content macro- microelements, sodium heavy metals. A canonical variation analysis (CVA)–the...
Abstract In the years 1997-2008, 131 water samples were analysed. The concentration of N-NH 4 , N-NO 3 P, K, Ca, Mg, Na, Cl, S-SO Fe, Mn, Zn, Cu, B, and HCO - was measured. addition, pH value electrolytic conductivity (EC) determined sodium adsorption ratio (SAR) calculated. assessment done on basis classifications for irrigation greenhouse crops grown in soil or traditional media. According to guide values, had have high ions, especially Na K. questioned quality about one half indicates...
Abstract Mn, as Fe, Zn, Cu and Ni is a heavy metal also necessary element all the living organisms. Excessive Mn nutrition causes strong oxidative stress. The aim of studies was to determination effect Se treatment (as sodium selenite Na 2 O 4 3 ) alleviate stress plants. Because its sensitivity induced by excessive concentrations model plant lettuce ( Lactuca sativa L. ‘Sunny’). were conducted in controlled environment growth room stable climate conditions: 16 h photoperiod; temperature...
The aim of the research was to determine selected biochemical and physical characteristics yielding fruits in apple varieties (Malus domestica Borkh) such as Gala Schniga, Beni Shogun (Fuji) Ligol, M.9 rootstock growing Wielkopolska region, Poland. high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analysis revealed differences both profile contents soluble sugars other metabolites detected tested varieties. highest total saccharide content found cv. while leaves shoots this variety showed lowest...
