Impact of Soil Chemical Properties on the Growth Promotion Ability of . and Their Complex on Rye in Different Land-Use Systems.

Microbial-based biostimulants that increase plant performance and ensure sustainable restoration of degraded soils are of great importance. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the growth promotion ability of indigenous , and their complex on early rye seedlings in sustained grassland and arable soil. The impact of soil chemical properties on the ability of selected strains and their complex to promote plant growth was determined by the evaluation of the rye ( L.

The potential of digestate as a biofertilizer in eroded soils of Lithuania.

The objective of this work was to determine the potential of using of solid and liquid digestate, as biofertilizer and soil amendment, and to address adverse unfertile soil erosion problems after analysing areas of potential use. We found a high concentration of organic carbon in a solid fraction of the digestate, which indicates a significant potential for returning carbon to the soil. The influence of digestate fertilization on soil fertility as a function of the amount of available phosphorus (PO) and potassium (KO) in the 0-40 cm layer was found to be very important.

Effects of organic and conventional production systems and cultivars on the technological properties of winter wheat.

Background: The current study aimed to estimate the effects of organic and conventional production systems and four winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) bread cultivars on the technological properties of grain, flour, dough and bread, to increase current knowledge regarding the interactions of the technological properties of winter wheat and assess the cultivars for their suitability for organic production systems.

Results: All the technological properties winter wheat which were investigated were significantly affected by the agricultural production system and cultivars, and some of them, mostly grain quality parameters, by the harvest year.
