The Effects of a Cultivar and Silicon Treatments on Grain Parameters and Bioactive Compound Content in Organic Spring Wheat
(MDPI, 2025) Kowalska, Iwona; Kowalczyk, Mariusz; Mołdoch, Jarosław; Pawelec, Sylwia; Radzikowski, Paweł; Feledyn-Szewczyk, Beata
To address the need for improved nutritional value of organically grown wheat, this study investigated the impact of silicon treatments (AdeSil, ZumSil) on yield, health status, and bioactive compound content in spring wheat cultivars. The 2019–2020 research evaluated different application variants: seed dressing, foliar sprays, and their combinations. Comprehensive seed dressing combined with two foliar treatments, (variant B) and two foliar treatments (variant C), significantly increased yield (by an average of 8.9% and 7.6% vs. control, respectively). These variants beneficially affected fungal disease resistance mainly in the stressful 2019; in optimal 2020, they showed no clear advantage over the control, which performed similarly or better. Seed dressing (variant D) increased total phenolic acids (PAs) content and antioxidant activity, with the spelt cv. Wirtas exhibiting the highest levels. Silicon treatments modified alkylresorcinols (ARs) content, but effects depended on the year, cultivar, and application variant, not always exceeding the control. Silicon treatments, especially when applied in combination (seed dressing and foliar application), can improve spring wheat yield and favorably modify PAs content, enhancing grain nutritional value. However, the plant response regarding health status and ARs content is strongly conditioned by cultivar specificity and the prevailing environmental conditions of the growing year.
Soil Quality Indicators in Agroecological Practices: Lessons From a Systematic Review of Long-Term Experiments
(Wiley, 2025) Maienza, Anita; Buttafuoco, Gabriele; Biancofiore, Gherardo; Ün, Akin; Renovell, Javier; Pisarčik, Martin; Fuksa, Pavel; Grabiński, Jerzy; Lumini, Erica; Di Lonardo, Sara; Kushnir, Michelle; Hakl, Josef; Vilkiene, Monika; Mockeviciene, Ieva; Dirnena, Baiba; Asins-Velis, Sabina
In recent decades, there has been increasing recognition of soil as a vital and non-renewable natural resource that provides essential environmental, economic, and social benefits. Agronomic and soil management practices—such as tillage systems, crop rotation, and nutrient applications—significantly influence near-surface soil properties and related ecosystem services. There is growing interest in defining soil quality and establishing specific indicators regarding conservation practices. This systematic review was focused on Long-Term Field Experiments (LTEs) conducted in seven countries: Czech Republic, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Spain, and Turkey. The review examined the most frequently studied soil quality properties related to agroecological practices. Our goal was also to standardize the results based on the advanced works in recent years on soil ecosystem services. The findings underscore the strong interest in sustainable production with a particularly high presence of agroecological soil practices in Long-Term Field Experiments (LTEs), especially in Italy and the Czech Republic. Cereals are among the most extensively studied crops under organic amendments and tillage intensity trials in the reviewed papers. Soil properties related to climate and environmental services (such as organic carbon) are the main indicators studied. Additionally, the review highlights a significant gap in soil biodiversity indicators in the agroecological long-term studies analysed. As a future direction, it is crucial to develop new, holistic soil quality indicators that encompass chemical–physical and biological aspects for soil monitoring and conservation.
The effect of soil tillage and sulphur fertilisation on content and ratios of macronutrients in the grain of spring triticale
(Czech Academy of Agricultural Sciences, 2025) Klikocka, Hanna; Podleśna, Anna; Narolski, Bartosz; Podleśny, Janusz
The aim of the experiment was to determine the yield, content and uptake of macronutrients and their ratio in spring triticale, Milewo cultivar. The field experiment was conducted in the years 2014–2016 on Cambisols. The first experimental factor was a system of soil tillage (traditional (TRD) and reduced (RED)), and the second was sulphur fertilisation (0,25 and 50 kg S/ha). Based on the study, it was found that the application of conventional tillage and the addition of sulphur fertilisation to NPK significantly increased spring triticale grain yield. The application of reduced tillage positively affected the increase in content and uptake in grain dry matter (DM) of N, S, P, K, Mg and Ca. Adding sulphur (S) to NPK fertilisation favourably increased the content and uptake of N, S, Mg, and Ca and did not affect the content of P and K. The application of reduced tillage expanded the ionic ratio of N : S, P : S while it narrowed the N : P ratio. However, the tillage system did not affect the ionic ratios Ca : P, K : Mg, K : (Ca + Mg) and molar K : (Ca + Mg). Adding sulphur to NPK fertilisation narrowed the N : S and P : S ratios while expanding the N : P and Ca : P ratios. Weather conditions during the 2016 growing season (relatively dry, k = 1.71) favoured spring triticale yield and uptake with dry grain weight of N, S, P, Mg and Ca. The highest N, S, P, K and Ca content in grain dry matter was shown in the 2014 season (relatively humid,
k = 1.96). Numerous correlations were found between grain yield and the content, uptake and reciprocal ratios of elements in grain.
Dissipation and Adsorption behavior together with Antioxidant Activity of Pinocembrin Dihydrochalcone
(MDPI, 2025-07-01) Dziągwa-Becker, Magdalena; Oleszek, Marta; Ukalska-Jaruga, Aleksandra; Kucharski, Mariusz; Kozłowska, Weronika; Białas, Marcel; Zielińska, Sylwia
The excessive use of synthetic pesticides has not only resulted in increased resistance among weeds and pests, leading to significant economic loss, but has also raised serious health and environmental concerns. Chalcones and their derivatives, known for their herbicidal, fungicidal, bactericidal, and antiviral properties, are emerging as promising biobased candidates. These naturally occurring compounds have long been recognized for their beneficial health effects and wide-range applications. However, their limited concentration in plants, along with poor solubility and bioavailability, brings challenges for their development. The aim of this study was to examine the properties of a synthetic substance, pinocembrin dihydrochalcone (3-phenyl-1-(2,4,6-trihydroxyphenyl)-1-propanone), including its soil dissipation and adsorption. Additionally, we evaluated its antioxidant activity through the DPPH assay and FRAP experiments. This analysis aims to provide insights into its potential classification as a low risk pesticide.
Microbial Hazard in Cultivated Soils Located in the Floodplains of the Vistula River Valley, Poland—Preliminary Research
(Springer, 2025) Furtak, Karolina; Marzec‑Grządziel, Anna
Worldwide research in flood-affected areas is primarily concerned with the control of microbial contamination of soils and waters by Salmonella sp., Clostridium sp., Escherichia sp. However, it should be borne in mind that areas periodically inundated by river waters can be a reservoir of other potentially pathogenic microorganisms. Moreover, these areas, due to the presence of fertile soils, are often used for agricultural purposes. The aim of the present study was to determine the presence of potentially pathogenic microorganisms in agriculturally cultivated river silts located in the Vistula River valley in Lublin Province, and to analyze changes in their abundance occurring as a result of simulated flooding conditions. The results obtained confirm that microorganisms potentially dangerous to humans are present in riverine soils used for agricultural purposes: representatives of the families Arcobacteraceae, Erwiniaceae, and Yersiniaceae, and representatives of the genera Aliarcobacter, Pantoea, Pseudarcobacter, Serratia, Treponema and Vagococcus, and their abundance changes as a result of flooding.
