Root-knot nematodes Meloidogyne spp. are sedentary endoparasites that infest a wide range of plant species; they also widely distributed, making them one the most economically significant pests. Similarly, damage caused by Aphelenchoides fragariae can lead to substantial reductions in both crop yield and quality. This research focused on rhizosphere Helianthus tuberosus L. (variety Albik), grown Polish plantation. The experiment was conducted at National Institute Horticultural Research...

Miscanthus × giganteus biomass plays a crucial role in producing renewable energy and bio-based products, supporting global sustainability objectives. However, its introduction into the European Union has made it susceptible to ectoparasitic needle nematode Longidorus spp., which are known vectors of severe viral diseases. The aim presented research was assess effectiveness following soil amendments: vermicompost from Eisenia fetida silver nanoparticles (Ag-NPs) applied with plants...

Biodiversity within composting systems involves a variety of microorganisms including nematodes. In the research, nematode populations were monitored six simultaneously operating processes. These processes involved varying proportions feedstock materials. The primary objective was to evaluate consistency community succession patterns across over time 3 months. During study, samples taken every month isolate nematodes, determine population density five trophic groups (per genus) and dominant...

Compost has a broad application in terms of the improvement soil properties. This research work was conducted to present molecular implications using compost obtained from different substrates improve parameters for cucumber seedlings cultivation. In experiment, following mixtures were used: sewage sludge (80%) + sawdust (20%); (40%) (10%) biodegradable garden and park waste (50%); (90%) (10%); (20%) Eisenia fetida; (50%) fetida. The final substrate compositions consisted deacidified peat(O)...

This research concentrated on the soil nematode communities inhabiting a reclaimed municipal waste landfill situated in Giedlarowa, southeastern Poland. The landfill, which was layered with natural 2008 and cultivated grass, served as primary focus of study. Samples for analysis were taken four times (October 2020 (Pf1), March 2021 (Pf2), October (Pf3), 2022 (Pf4)), each time comprising three repetitions. conducted employing microscopic examination, enabled identification up to five trophic...

The experiment was based on two factors: 4-levels of fertilization with ash from biomass -0; I -4.28;II -8.57; III -12.85 t•ha -1 and 2-levels sewage sludge: 0; 1-30.3 .The experimental plant Jerusalem artichoke (Helianthus tuberosus L.), Gigant cultivar.The contents nitrogen tended to increase in response sludge decrease a growing dosage ash.The use municipal as fertilizer did not produce visible changes the six macronutrients (carbon, phosphorus, potassium, sulfir, calcium magnesium)...

In addition to hydroelectric power plants, solar and wind biogas plants are important in the production of electricity heat from renewable energy sources. It is known that depending on type substrate used for processing design features they have their own advantages disadvantages. Nevertheless, properly localized biomass installation able decrease use conventional materials reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Bio-waste, plant residues other by-products can be produce electricity, purified...

Abstract Short-rotation woody plants of the genus Paulownia are attracting more and attention as trees that produce biomass reduce concentration carbon dioxide in atmosphere. However, growing monoculture affect properties condition soil. One effects changes soil environment is population plant parasitic nematodes (PPN). The article presents information about PPN inhabiting root zone tomentosa plantation Poland. In this study, frequency density nematode populations samples from seven...
