Efficient utilization, treatment, and disposal of agricultural wastewater and sewage sludge are important environmental risks. In our research, effluent water from intensive aquaculture was evaluated for the irrigation of short rotation energy willow in a lysimeter experiment. Two different water types and their combinations were applied with weekl...

In addition to black locust ( Robinia pseudoacacia L.) and hybrid poplars, northern red oak ( Quercus rubra L.) can be considered the third most important exotic stand-forming tree species in Hungary. Due to its advantageous silvicultural and growth characteristics, as well as its wood utilization possibilities, the present area northern red oak st...

In Hungary, black locust (Robinia pseudoacacia L.) is considered as an important exotic stand-forming tree species growing mostly under unfavourable ecological conditions for forest management. Due to climate change effects, its importance is increasing in many other countries, too. As a result of a selection programme, new black locust clones were...

Black locust (Robinia pseudoacacia L.) was the first North-American tree species imported to Europe at the beginning of the seventeenth century. It is commonly planted worldwide because of its adaptability to environmental stresses, its valuable wood, easy propagation, frequent and abundant seed production, excellent coppicing, high seedling surviv...

The paper provides the results of a detailed analysis of timber volume and the most important crown variables of black locust (Robinia pseudoacacia Linnaeus) based on an experimental plot in southern Hungary. At the age of 20 years the crop trees belonged to different height classes. If the volume of the mean tree from height class I is considered...

Black locust (Robinia pseudoacacia L.) can be considered as one of the most suitable tree species for establishing energy plantations due to its favourable growing characteristics such as vigorous growing potential in the juvenile phase, excellent coppicing ability, a relatively high resistance to pests. Based on national and international test res...

Based on the surveys made by the FAO, the EU and the Hungarian Central Statistical Office it is unequivocal: our modern and comfortable lifestyle is in danger. Considering the facts and the scenarios the most important questions about the Hungarian and Carpathian agriculture is to adapt to the changing climate and to avoid the possible food shortag...

On 4 October 2010 Hungary's most serious industrial disaster occurred. One dam of the Ajka aluminium factory's mud reservior collapsed and approximately one million cubic metres of red mud flooded several nearby localities. The utilization of these areas imposes difficulties even after averting the emergency. One possible solution is to plant energ...

A Szent István Egyetem Növénytermesztési és Biomassza-hasznosítási Bemutató Központjában Gödöllőn kedvezőtlen termőhelyi körülmények között rozsdabarna erdőtalajon 2007-ben állítottunk be kísérletet fás szárú energianövényekkel. A kísérletben öt fűzfajta (Tora, Tordis, Inger, Sven, Csala), valamint három növénytáplálási szint (kontroll, műtrágya, k...

Hungary has excellent agro-ecological conditions with almost half of the land considered as arable. Although most of the arable area has viable productivity, but approx. half a million hectare of land is not economicaly effective for conventional crop production. These unfavourable fields have got great potentials for biomass production and fast-gr...

In the last decades the physical and biological status of the soils in Hungary significantly decreased too. The principle of alternative tillage systems is the moderated disturbance of the soil, resulting in less disturbance of its bio-dynamics, hence higher organic content and better availability of nutrients can be expected. In a complex soil ti...
