Abstract Aim In the current Anthropocene, many ecosystems are being simultaneously invaded by multiple alien species. Some of these invasive species become more dominant and have greater environmental impacts than others. If two potentially invade same area, combined impact has been reported to be either (a) domination one species, that is, competitive dominance invader, or (b) invasion meltdown, where is much greater, a synergistic effect. We studied effects plant known strongly decrease...

Optimal nutrition of sugar beets at critical growth stages is one the crucial factors for achievement their highest yield potential. In present study, it was presumed that reduced systems beet cultivation had no effect on plants’ nutritional status stages, or technological quality. 2012-2013, two series one-factorial field experiments with different crop husbandry were carried out in order to verify this hypothesis. The crops differed postharvest technology, mulch types and seedbed tillage....
