The content of organic matter in the soil, its labile (hot water extractable carbon–HWEC) and stable (soil carbon–SOC) form is a fundamental factor affecting soil productivity health. current research (SOM) focused on individual fragmented approaches comprehensive evaluation HWEC SOC changes. present state together with soil’s management practices are usually monitoring today but there has not been any common model for both that published. Our approach should help to assess changes depending...

Understanding the structural differences between feedstocks is critical for biochar effectiveness in plant growth. To examine efficiency of biochars with unique physiological structures a cadmium (Cd)-polluted soil, rice and maize as C3 C4 plants, well generated from their residues, defined BC3 BC4, were utilized. The experiment involved control Cd-polluted soil (20 mg kg-1) without application, applications each type t ha-1) on or unpolluted soil. In fields, application led to highest value...

Within the framework of a long-term experiment, established in 1955, we evaluated development and effects weather mineral fertilization (Control, NPK1, NPK2, NPK3, NPK4) on yield stability winter wheat following alfalfa. In total, 19 seasons were analysed. The changed considerably at experimental site. Significant increases minimal, mean, maximal temperatures dated to period 1987-1988, while precipitation remained same this day (insignificantly increasing trend by 0.5 mm per annum). Rising...

Microcores were taken at weekly intervals transverse sections cambial xylem tissue prepared for light microscopic observation. Air temperature soil moisture content measured daily research plot. Tree-ring patterns vessel...

In this paper, a sequence (1979-2022) of long-term trial established in Lukavec 1956 (Czech Republic) focusing on the effect weather, various nitrogen (N) fertilization methods (control, PK, N1PK, N2PK, and N3PK) preceding crops (cereals, legumes, oil plants) winter wheat grain yield is presented. The weather significantly changed at site trial. While trend mean temperature increased, precipitation did not change over long term. Four relationships between were evaluated to be significant:...

Abstract Changes in climate patterns have a significant impact on agricultural production. A comprehensive understanding of weather changes arable farming is essential to ensure practical and effective strategies for farmers. Our research aimed investigate how different fertilization interacts with environmental factors, examine their effects wheat yield varietal response over time, minimize nitrogen (N) fertilizer using alfalfa as proceeding crop, recommend an optimum N dose based the...

The effect of leaf-applied fertilizers on nutritional status and yields apple cv. Rubinola grown two soil types (Luvisol, Cambisol) differing in yield levels was studied a three-year experiment at the orchard Vanovice, Czech Republic. Two fertilizers, A (containing N, Mg, Ca, B Zn) (N, B, Zn, Mn Fe) were applied after blooming, leaves fruit analyzed. Zn concentrations increased significantly both soils application solution compared to control. Foliar fertilizer concentration content dry leaf...

Digitization of industrial processes using new technologies (IoT—Internet Things, IoE—Internet Everything), including the agriculture industry, are globally gaining growing interest. The precise management production inputs is essential for many agricultural companies because limited or expensive sources water and nutrients could make sustainable difficult. For these reasons, data from fields, plants, greenhouses have become more important decision making proper dosage nutrients. On market a...

In order to recommend the dose of fertilization for sugar beet under currently unstable weather conditions, we analysed beetroot and top yields, content (SC), effect on soil chemistry over a three-year period (2016–2018). All three years were characterized by different conditions. The year 2016 was very warm dry. 2017 with normal precipitation. 2018 extraordinary We compared following ten treatments: unfertilized control, farmyard manure (FYM), mineral fertilizers NPK1–4, FYM + NPK1–4....

In today’s agriculture, maize is considered to be one of the major feed, food and industrial crops. Cultivation by inappropriate agricultural practices on unsuitable sites connected with specific risks soil degradation, mainly due water erosion soil. The aim this study was evaluate yielding parameters, fodder quality anti-erosion efficiency different methods conservation tillage for in two areas (Jevíčko—JEV Skoupý—SKO) climate conditions Czech Republic period 2016–2018, using multivariate...

The present study aims to test and evaluate the efficiency of a new modified method organic matter evaluation. It allows assessment quality quantity primary soil stable fractions separately. was tested in six samples different localities Czech Republic. This is based on observing reaction kinetics during oxidation measuring cation-exchange capacity fractions. results were compared with classical methods, which rely isolation humic substances, determination content acids fulvic their ratio...

The paper presented evaluates reserves and chemical composition of forest floor three stands Douglas fir, spruce with beech at acid sites (3K) in the Hůrky Training Forest District (TFD) a meso-trophic site (4H) Křtiny Enterprise (TFE). aim study was to evaluate: (i) floor, (ii) soil reaction, (iii) total content carbon nitrogen for layers, iv) C/N ratio, (v) dissolved organic (DOC). lowest reserve occurs fir stand mesotrophic (25.0 t/ha), highest accumulation spruce/beech an (79.4-79.6...

A pedological survey was carried out in a spruce monoculture, beech stand, and mixed stand at field research station Rájec-Němčice of the Institute Forest Ecology (IFE), Mendel University Agriculture Forestry (MUAF) Brno region Drahanská Upland 2004-2006. The aim paper to evaluate (i) humus reserves forms, (ii) soil reaction, (iii) total carbon nitrogen for forest floor layers (iv) carbon/nitrogen ratio. Soil analyses were on samples taken end growing season spruce, stand. highest found...

If available to farmers, potatoes represent a crop classically fertilized with farmyard manure in the Czech Republic. At same time, are sensitive soil-climate conditions. We evaluated effect of cattle (FYM), and mineral nitrogen (FYM + N1, FYM N2), fertilizers N1PK, N2PK, N3PK) application three soil-climatic conditions (Caslav-maize production area degraded Chernozem, Ivanovice-maize Lukavec-potatoes Cambisol) over four years (2016-2019) on yield soil chemical properties. Of all factors,...

More than 50% of agricultural land is threatened by water erosion in the Czech Republic. With respect to soil erosion, maize (Zea mays L.) belongs most problematic crops; one possibilities increase protection against intercropping. In this study, we attempted find out effects individual intercrops and their mixtures (sown 4–6 weeks after sowing maize) or a mixed culture (maize plus lupine) on losses surface runoff period 2019–2021. The study was realised sugar beet growing region (Haplic...

Farmers must adapt to the changes brought about by changing climate and market requirements. These adaptations are associated with fertilization—the availability of organic manures mineral fertilizers crop rotations. What is effect on wheat soil? Is it necessary apply phosphorus P potassium (K) wheat? questions frequently asked in workshops different growing areas. To provide a relevant answer this issue, we evaluated how farmyard manure (FYM), nitrogen (N) applied without (P) fertilizers,...

The main reason for the transformation of spruce monocultures at sites mixed broadleaved forests is to create more natural relationships between species structure a stand and soil processes. presented study compares humus conditions basic growth characteristics two stands (spruce with beech larch beech) aged 25 years (aged 40 years) 30 years). purpose evaluate (i) forms forest floor, (ii) reaction, (iii) content total reserves carbon, nitrogen C/N ratio, (iv) dissolved organic carbon (DOC)...
