Możliwość poprawy właściwości mikrobiologicznych gleb popowodziowych PORADNIK
(Instytut Uprawy Nawożenia i Gleboznawstwa - Państwowy Instytut Badawczy w Puławach, 2025) Furtak, Karolina
Bardzo ważnym regulatorem mikrobiomu glebowego są czynniki edaficzne, które definiuje się jako całokształt warunków fizycznych i chemicznych w glebie. Wśród czynników edaficznych wyróżnić można: ♦ ♦ strukturę i typ gleby; ♦ ♦ temperaturę gleby; ♦ ♦ wilgotność gleby; ♦ ♦ odczyn gleby; ♦ ♦ ciśnienie; ♦ ♦ zawartość węgla i azotu; ♦ ♦ zawartość pierwiastków śladowych. Naturalne wahania wilgotności związane ze zmianami sezonowymi i opadami są ważnym czynnikiem środowiskowym w metabolizmie mikroorganizmów. Jednakże w ostatnim czasie częstotliwość występowania powodzi i okresowych podtopień w Polsce wzrasta. Dane meteorologiczne pokazują, że na świecie od 1980 roku liczba powodzi i innych zdarzeń hydrologicznych wzrosła czterokrotnie. Nadmierna wilgotność spowodowana powodziami, roztopami lub intensywnymi opadami deszczu powoduje zmiany w strukturze i aktywności mikrobiomu glebowego. Niniejszy poradnik ma na celu krótkie omówienie zmian zachodzących w glebie w wyniku wystąpienia nadmiernej wilgotności oraz określenie możliwych działań mających na celu poprawę jakości gleb popowodziowych.
Determination of Soil Micronutrient Critical Values Using Mehlich 3 Extractant for Principal Field Crops
(MDPI, 2025) Korzeniowska, Jolanta ; Stanisławska-Glubiak, Ewa ; Lipiński, Wojciech
Reliable soil critical values (SCVs) for micronutrients are essential for accurate fertilizer recommendations. This study established crop-specific SCVs for boron (B), copper (Cu), iron (Fe), manganese (Mn), and zinc (Zn) extracted with Mehlich-3 under Polish soil and climatic conditions. Extensive paired soil–plant datasets were collected for wheat (n = 1921), oilseed rape (n = 1944), and maize (n = 916) across all provinces. Micronutrients were determined in all soil and plant samples, with soil extractions performed using the Mehlich-3 method. Two plant-based calibration approaches were applied: (i) regression models linking the bioaccumulation factor (plant-to-soil concentration ratio) to soil properties, and (ii) the highyield method, defining SCVs as the lower quintile of micronutrient levels in soils from high-yielding fields. Both approaches yielded comparable results. Soil pH, organic carbon, available phosphorus, and texture were the key variables influencing SCVs, which differed among crops and elements: B and Mn were pH-dependent, Cu correlated with organic carbon, while Fe and Zn were associated with phosphorus or texture. Final SCVs ranged from B 0.10–0.90, Cu 1.0–2.2, Fe 160–280, Mn 30–75, and Zn 2.5–7.0 mg kg−1, depending on crop and soil class. These empirically derived, crop-specific Mehlich-3 SCVs provide a robust basis for micronutrient diagnostics and fertilizer management in temperate agricultural soils.
Balancing Feed Demand and Energy Supply: Technical Potential of Permanent Grassland Biomass in Poland
(MDPI, 2025) Borzęcka, Magdalena
This study presents a comprehensive methodology for assessing the technical potential of hay biomass from permanent grasslands (TUZ) in Poland, aimed at evaluating its energy use possibilities. This research was based on detailed data from the Agency for Restructuring and Modernization of Agriculture (ARiMR) and included both environmentally subsidized and non-subsidized parcels. Using statistical hay yield values adjusted for drought impacts through the Climatic Water Balance (KBW), a realistic estimation of technical hay potential was obtained. Results show a total theoretical hay potential of 15 million tonnes in 2024. The results indicate that the total theoretical hay potential in the country in 2024 amounted to 15 million tons, but its technical potential is reduced to almost zero. The methane productivity of this biomass could generate 3.5 Mt CH4 (at STP) if most of it could not be used for animal feeding purposes. The findings highlight the underutilized energetic potential of grasslands and the critical role of land use policy in unlocking sustainable bioenergy resources. Research into the potential of biomass is important in view of supporting energy independence, sustainable use of agricultural resources and agroecological synergy by combining production, energy and environmental objectives. It should be remembered that biomass potential studies are subject to limitations resulting from the uncertainty of statistical data, variability of climatic and soil conditions and model assumptions, which may affect the accuracy and comparability of the obtained results.
Method of Management and Determination of Quality ofWaste from Green Areas for the Production of Pellets Used for Fertilization Purposes
(MDPI, 2025) Zardzewiały, Miłosz; Szopka, Katarzyna; Gruszka, Dariusz; Sekutowski, Tomasz R.; Bajcar, Marcin; Saletnik, Bogdan; Gorzelany, Józef
A very important issue in urban agglomerations is the proper management of green waste while reducing its negative impact on the environment. One potential solution is the utilization of green biomass—originating from the maintenance of parks, squares, and home gardens—for the production of compost and compost-based pellets as organic fertilizers. The aim of this study was to produce compost-based pellets intended for fertilization purposes from compost derived from green waste and conifer sawdust, and to analyze their mechanical and chemical properties. Ten variants of pellets with different compost-to-sawdust ratios were evaluated. Compost-based pellets exhibited the highest initial mechanical strength; however, their resistance to external loads decreased over time, whereas the best long-term stability was observed in pellets containing 50% sawdust. The seasoning process influenced the stabilization or improvement of the mechanical properties of certain mixtures. Chemical analyses showed that compost-based pellets contained the highest concentrations of nutrients (N, P, K), while increasing the proportion of sawdust reduced their fertilizing value. No exceedances of permissible heavy metal limits were detected. The results confirm the suitability of compost-based pellets made from green biomass as a sustainable alternative to mineral fertilizers, supporting the principles of the circular economy.
Evaluation of the Yield of Giant Miscanthus (Miscanthus × giganteus) and Sugar Miscanthus (Miscanthus sacchariflorus) Intended for Energy Purposes in Variable Habitat Conditions
(MDPI, 2025) Sekutowski, Tomasz R.; Zardzewiały, Miłosz; Belcar, Justyna; Gorzelany, Józef
This study evaluated the production potential of M. sacchariflorus and M. giganteus depending on plantation age and soil type. The analyses showed that the leaf area index was dependent on the Miscanthus genotype, soil type, and plantation age. The mean leaf angle, on the other hand, was mainly affected by plantation age. Significant differences in plant height were found, resulting from genotype, soil type, and plantation age. The biomass yield obtained from Miscanthus plantations was also dependent on soil type, plantation age, and genotype. The biomass moisture content was to a lesser extent affected by the interactions between genotype and soil type, and between soil type and plantation age, but it was dependent on the interaction between genotype and plantation age. The calorific value of the tested biomass was mainly influenced by the Miscanthus genotype and, to a lesser extent, by plantation age and soil type. The highest calorific value was found in the biomass of M. sacchariflorus, regardless of soil type and plantation age, while the lowest was recorded for M. giganteus biomass, irrespective of soil type.
