    Evaluation of chemical composition of lentil seeds in sole crop and row intercropped with naked oats in an organic farm
    (ALÖKI Kft., 2018) Kraska, P.; Andruszczak, S.; Staniak, M.; Kwiecińska-Poppe, E.; Różyło, K.; Rusecki, H.
    The field experiment was conducted to evaluate how row intercropping of the lentil with naked oats as a supporting plant impacts macro- and micronutrient content of two lentil varieties ‘Tina’ and ‘Anita’ as well as a mixture of these two varieties. Additionally, amino acid content and fatty acid composition of lentil seeds were determined. Lentil was sown at a row spacing of 20 and 25 cm. In var. ‘Tina’ seeds, a higher content of K, Ca, Mg, Mn and B was determined than in var. ‘Anita’. ‘Anita’ seeds, in turn, were characterized by a higher content of fat, N, P, Cu, Zn and Fe. Lentil seeds sown at a spacing of 20 cm had a higher content of P, K, Ca, Cu, Zn and B compared to a spacing of 25 cm, but they contained less nitrogen. The presence of oats as a supporting crop deteriorated the quality of lentil seeds by contributing to a reduced content of N, P, K, Cu, Zn, Mn, Fe and B compared to sole cropped lentil. A higher content of C18:0, C18:2, C18:3, C20:0, OMEGA 3, and OMEGA 6 acids was determined in ‘Anita’ seeds. Var. ‘Tina’, in turn, contained more C16:0, C18:1 acids. In ‘Anita’ seeds, the content of most evaluated amino acids was determined to be significantly higher than in ‘Tina’ seeds.

    Mild Drought Stress-Induced Changes in Yield, Physiological Processes and Chemical Composition in Festuca, Lolium and Festulolium
    (Wiley, 2017) Fariaszewska, A.; Aper, J.; Van Huylenbroeck, J.; Baert, J.; De Riek, J.; Staniak, M.; Pecio, Ł.
    The impact of mild drought stress (3 weeks at 40 % field water capacity) on yield, physiological processes, accumulation of proline and phenolic compounds and forage quality parameters in forage grasses was evaluated in pot experiments. During four different growing periods, the effects of water deficit were assessed in nine varieties from five species (Lolium perenne, Lolium multiflorum, Festuca pratensis, Festuca arundinacea and Festulolium braunii). All measured parameters were affected by drought stress in the different cuts. Photosynthesis, transpiration rate, stomatal conductance and dry matter yield were significantly lower in drought stress than under well-watered conditions in all varieties. Higher wateruse efficiency was only observed during the first and fourth drought period, while this was not the case in the second and third. Mild drought stress significantly increased the content of proline, phenolic acid, flavonoids, water-soluble carbohydrates and protein. All tested grasses showed also an increase of organic matter digestibility and cell wall digestibility under drought stress conditions.
