Climate change and the increasing demand for food necessitate innovative agricultural methods. Relay intercropping, where one crop is sown into another already-grown crop, offers a promising alternative to traditional systems. In the 2021/22 and 2022/23 seasons, a field experiment was conducted to assess the relay intercropping of winter barley (Ho...

The cultivation or ‘tillage’ system is one of the most important elements of agrotechnology. It affects the condition of the soil, significantly modifying its physical, chemical, and biological properties, and the condition of plants, starting from ensuring appropriate conditions for sowing and plant growth, through influencing the efficiency of ph...

The growing human population renders challenges for the future supply of food products with high nutritional value. Here, we enhanced the functional and nutritional value of biscuits, a popular sweet snack, by replacing the wheat flour with 2%, 6%, or 10% (w/w) cricket powder. Consumer acceptance ratings for reference and 2% augmented cookies were...

The pH of the spray liquid is one of the factors influencing the efficacy of herbicides. Adjusting the appropriate parameters of the spraying liquid may reduce the consumption of pesticides, which is in line with the currently introduced legal standards and society’s requirements. In the greenhouse experiment, the influence of herbicides containing...

In spite of the alkaline reaction of onion waste composted together with rye straw and pig manure, these materials can be used as a substrate for the growth of moulds of the Trichoderma genus, with proven phytosanitary properties against plant pathogens. This hypothesis was verified in a laboratory experiment with four variants: a control sample an...

Synopsis. Celem badań przeprowadzonych w latach 1997-2000 w ZDD Brody AR w Poznaniu było zbadanie wpływu systemów uprawy roli pod kukurydzę upra-wianą w plonie głównym na zmiany właściwości fizycznych gleby. Na podstawie prze-prowadzonych badań wykazano, że mulcz żyta ozimego desykowanego bezpośrednio przed siewem kukurydzy obniżał temperaturę gleb...

This paper is Part 2 of the paper by the same authors (Pilarska et al., 2015) concerning the use of digestate pulps (so-called ?digestates?) and their composts as organic fertilizers. In Part 2 of the experiment, in which the results are discussed in this paper, the resulting materials were used as organic fertilizers. The experiment was started in...

Compared with ploughing tillage, no-tillage systems through their diversified effect on soil, modify its properties, and consequently conditions of plants’ growth and development. The aim of the study was evaluation of the long-term effect of various tillage systems on the pea yield and some soil properties. The experimental design included 5 tilla...

Biogas production based on organic materials involves generating large amounts of the so-called digested pulp. Its usage poses many problems stemming from the low dry matter content (about 8-12%) and variable chemical content dependent on the type of substrate used forthe fermentation process, among other factors. A beneficial solution for digestat...
