Microbial preparations in agriculture and environment protection
(Instytut Uprawy Nawożenia i Gleboznawstwa - Państwowy Instytut Badawczy w Puławach, 2024) Gałązka, Anna; Podleśny, Janusz
In many countries, research is being conducted to use beneficial groups of microorganisms in agricultural practice. So far, as a result of this research, biopreparations have been developed and implemented for production, among which preparations used in biological plant protection dominate. These preparations contain antagonistic or parasitic microorganisms in relation to pathogens and plant pests. There are also microbiological products available on the market that stimulate microbiological activity of soils or have a beneficial effect on the growth and yield of plants, e.g. biopreparations containing symbiotic microorganisms (nodule bacteria for legumes and mycorrhizal fungi). In agricultural practice, microbiological products that stimulate microbiological activity of soils or have a beneficial effect on the growth and yield of plants are also used. Hence, despite the availability of research conducted using microbiological fertilizer products, actions should be taken to improve qualifications in the field of using microbiological fertilizer products, their justification and benefits affecting the soil environment and the plant.
Priority directions for supporting the bioeconomy in the context of the cap in Poland
(Instytut Uprawy Nawożenia i Gleboznawstwa - Państwowy Instytut Badawczy w Puławach, 2025) Pudełko, Rafał; Borzęcka, Magdalena; Podleśny, Janusz
The monograph presents the bioeconomy in the context of agriculture, rural areas, and the challenges arising from climate change and the transition towards sustainable development. It aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the significance of the bioeconomy as a key element of the European Union’s development policies and to identify opportunities for its implementation in Poland, focusing particularly on the agricultural and agrifood sectors. The initial chapters discuss the objectives and importance of the bioeconomy and review strategies for its development in rural areas in selected EU Member States, such as Italy, Spain, Germany and Lithuania. This analysis allows for the identification of good practices and diverse approaches to the use of biological resources for regional development. A crucial point of reference for further consideration are the assumptions and objectives of the European Green Deal, setting the framework for the transformation of food production systems and management of natural resources.
The following chapters focus on the role of agriculture in a sustainable bioeconomy and its adaptation to climate change. They present both the currently observed and projected effects of climate change, as well as adaptation strategies used in the European Union and Poland. Particular emphasis is placed on types and categories of adaptation and practical solutions that enable increasing the resilience of agriculture to adverse environmental conditions.
A significant part of the monograph is devoted to the analysis of agricultural biomass. This part discusses biomass used for food purposes, covering the production of cereals, legumes, oilseeds, sugar beet, potatoes, fruit and vegetables, as well as modern methods of storage, preparation for marketing and packaging of plant products. A separate chapter is devoted to waste and by-product biomass from the food industry, including both plant and animal products, taking into account the scale of food losses and possibilities for their valorisation.
The rest of the monograph presents the possibilities of obtaining and recycling nutrients and organic matter from the agricultural sector, including the use of digestate, compost and biochar. The production of biochar on small farms has been discussed in detail, covering definitions, quality requirements, substrate sources, production methods, and finally its use in agricultural production.
The monograph also addresses the legume and high-protein feed production in Poland, analysing their importance in crop rotation, yield potential, production levels and available support systems. These considerations are supplemented by an assessment of national agricultural biomass resources, including by-products, straw, grassland biomass, animal production and fruit growing.
The last chapter is devoted to the potential of unused agricultural land and the possibilities of its use for bioeconomy purposes. It presents methods for identifying such areas, assessing the progress of natural succession and directions for its use, supported by a case study.
The monograph as a whole is an interdisciplinary study presenting the bioeconomy as a crucial element of the transformation of agriculture and rural areas, combining environmental, economic and social objectives, while at the same time indicating solutions possible for implementing in Polish conditions.
Zasady wprowadzania do obrotu nawozów i środków wspomagających uprawę roślin zgodnie z prawem krajowym
(Instytut Uprawy Nawożenia i Gleboznawstwa - Państwowy Instytut Badawczy w Puławach, 2025) Rutkowska, Agnieszka
Podstawą wprowadzania produktów nawozowych do obrotu w Polsce są regulacje w zakresie prawa krajowego wynikające z przepisów Ustawy z dnia 10 lipca 2007 r. o nawozach i nawożeniu oraz rozporządzenie (WE) 2019/1009 ustanawiające przepisy dotyczące udostępniania na rynku produktów nawozowych UE, zmieniające rozporządzenia (WE) nr 1069/2009 i (WE) nr 1107/2009 oraz uchylające rozporządzenie (WE) nr 2003/2003. Rozporządzenie (WE) 2019/1009 uporządkowało europejski rynek produktów nawozowych mineralnych, organicznych i organiczno-mineralnych. Niemniej jednak znaczna część producentów korzysta ze ścieżki rejestracji nawozów i środków wspomagających uprawę roślin zgodnie z prawodawstwem krajowym. W związku z dynamicznym rozwojem rynku produktów nawozowych, szczególnie w zakresie tworzenia nowych technologii zmierzających do wykorzystania środków pochodzenia organicznego, w tym produktów odpadowych bądź produktów o wielokierunkowym działaniu, tj. odżywczym, stymulującym wzrost i rozwój roślin oraz wpływających korzystnie na poprawę określonych paramentów środowiska glebowego, producenci często stają przed wyzwaniem, jakim jest właściwa klasyfikacja produktu zgodnie z ustawą o nawozach i nawożeniu. Klasyfikacja ta wytycza bowiem dalszą ścieżkę rejestracyjną, począwszy od ustalenia zakresu badań fizykochemicznych po uzyskanie właściwych opinii, opracowanych przez jednostki wskazane w rozporządzeniu wykonawczym do ustawy o nawozach i nawożeniu. Niniejszy poradnik jest dedykowany podmiotom wprowadzającym do obrotu handlowego w Polsce nawozy i środki wspomagające uprawę roślin. Zawiera on praktyczne informacje, uporządkowane tematycznie, w zakresie wymagań prawnych oraz procedur wprowadzania do obrotu ww. produktów nawozowych, z uwzględnieniem nowych przepisów prawnych. W poradniku zostały zawarte również odpowiedzi na najczęściej zadawane pytania.
Nitrogen Use Efficiency in Maize over Sixteen Years of Unbalanced Fertilization with Nitrogen and Potassium
(MDPI, 2026) Rutkowska, Agnieszka; Suszek-Łopatka, Beata
Adequate fertilization with nitrogen (N) and potassium (K) is essential to sustain crop productivity and minimize nitrogen losses to the environment. However, the increasing imbalance in fertilizer use in Poland, with low potassium inputs, may impair long-term soil fertility and nitrogen use efficiency. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of long-term potassium omission on maize productivity and nitrogen use efficiency under varying nitrogen fertilization rates. A 16-year field experiment (2003–2018) was conducted in two different regions of Poland (Grabów and Baborówko), on soils with medium to low available potassium content. Maize response to potassium fertilization cessation was evaluated at increasing nitrogen rates (50–250 kg N ha−1). Grain yield, nitrogen uptake (Yn), nitrogen surplus (Ns), and nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) were assessed according to the EU Nitrogen Expert Panel (EUNEP) approach. Potassium omission had little effect on maize yield and NUE indices. At nitrogen rates commonly applied in agricultural practice in Poland (~100 kg N ha−1), NUE strongly exceeded 100%. The other NUE indices—nitrogen surplus and nitrogen uptake remained optimal (<80 kg N ha−1, and >80 kg N ha−1, respectively), regardless of potassium treatment. These results indicate a low risk of nitrogen losses under moderate nitrogen inputs, even without potassium fertilization. However, given the declining NUE trend on soils with low potassium content, a reduction in nitrogen use efficiency can be expected, particularly under high nitrogen application rates and continued unbalanced potassium fertilization.
Weed Communities and Their Diversity Depending on the Age of the Plantation and Selected Plant Species Intended for Energy Purposes
(MDPI, 2026) Sekutowski, Tomasz R.; Zardzewiały, Miłosz; Belcar, Justyna; Gorzelany, Józef
In the conducted study, the structure of weed communities and their dynamics were assessed and compared in relation to plantation age and the species of energy crop. Weed diversity within the stands of the investigated energy crops was evaluated in three-year cycles, from 2006 to 2024. The assessment of weed diversity in the stands of the studied energy crops was conducted in three-year cycles, i.e., in the first year of cultivation (2006—the year of plantation establishment), the fourth year of cultivation (2009), the seventh year of cultivation (2012), the tenth year of cultivation (2015), the thirteenth year of cultivation (2018), the sixteenth year of cultivation (2021), and the nineteenth year of cultivation (2024). The species composition of weed communities and the abundance of individual weed species were determined. The diversity and dominance patterns of weed communities occurring in Salix viminalis, Miscanthus × giganteus, and Phalaris arundinacea were described using two indices: the Shannon–Wiener diversity index and the Simpson dominance index. As a result of the conducted observations, it was found that weed abundance, species diversity, and weed infestation dynamics depended on the energy crop species and the age of the plantation. Greater interannual variability was observed in weed abundance, whereas species richness remained relatively more stable between years. The highest species diversity was recorded in the Salix viminalis plantation, where a total of 53 weed species were identified. In contrast, considerably fewer taxa were found in Miscanthus × giganteus (42 species) and Phalaris arundinacea (41 species). Moreover, it was found that regardless of the energy crop species, segetal weeds dominated during the first years of cultivation, i.e., E. crus-galli, A. spica-venti, A. retroflexus, Ch. album, M. inodora, and V. arvensis. In subsequent years of cultivation, however, the dominant species were ruderal weeds, such as A. vulgaris, T. officinale, and U. dioica, as well as invasive species, e.g., S. canadensis and S. gigantea. In subsequent years, ruderal species became dominant. The Shannon–Wiener diversity and Simpson dominance indices indicated differences in species richness and the relative abundance of individual weed species. The highest values of the Shannon–Wiener diversity index and the lowest values of the Simpson dominance index were recorded in weed communities of Salix viminalis plantations aged 7–16 years after establishment. In contrast, the highest Simpson index values, indicating dominance by one or a few weed species, were observed in the first year of cultivation regardless of the energy crop species, as well as in the 19-year-old Miscanthus × giganteus plantation.
