One of the strategies for mitigating this emission is the use of nitrification inhibitors (NI) as 3,4-dimethylpyrazole phosphate (DMPP). Additionally, the increased persistence of N after the application of NI can reduce the amount of fertilizer applied. A field experiment with lettuce was conducted in the Savanna of Bogotá. N was applied as ammonium sulphate nitrate (ASN 26%) at a rate of 70 kg N/ha and as the combination of ASN with DMPP (ENTEC® 26) at 50 and 70 kg N/ha rates. GHG emissions, soil parameters, lettuce yield, its components, N, nitrate and mineral elements contents were measured. With high soil nitrate contents, a standard dose of N fertilizer with DMPP maintained the yield and N content of lettuce, while it had no effect on GHG emissions. A reduction of 20 kg N/ha using DMPP was able to keep the yield meanwhile improving the quality of the crop due to a lower nitrate accumulation in lettuce leaves.

The differential responses of six spring wheat genotypes were investigated; the plants had been subjected to deficient (2 μmol) and abundant phosphorus (P) (200 μmol) concentration. Root (length, surface area and diameter) and root hair traits (length and density), soil acidification and uptake of macro- and micronutrients were determined. Under low P supply all genotypes exhibited symptoms of P stress, such as poor shoot and root growth, starch accumulation and a release of substantial quantities of proton and acid from roots. Larger genotypic differences in root hair length and density than root length, surface area and diameter were observed. In response to P stress genotype April Bearded responded strongly by increasing its root hair density, while A35-213 and Hankkijan Tapio substantially increased root hair length. Other genotypes showed less positive responses or even negative ones in root hair traits. Thus, density of root hairs appears to be a more P-regulated and P-responsive trait than root hair length. April Bearded acidified the most and Hindy62 released most organic acid in response to P deficiency.

These methods of seed stimulation were also tested in field conditions. All experiments were carried out in 2011-2013. Positive results after using the presented formulations for testing of germination were observed not only in laboratory conditions but also in field experiments. Seeds stimulated by Lexin reached statistically higher germination (95%) compared to control (91.5%) with the shortest medium time of germination (3.5 days) versus control seeds (4.3 days). Higher, faster and smoother germination of stimulated seeds resulted in higher average number of plants per m2 (about 2.1 plants/1 m2 in Lexin compared to control seeds) and thereby contributed to higher average yields up to two tons of dry matter per hectare.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of ozonation of winter wheat grain harvested in different cropping and tillage systems on the number and composition of fungi colonizing grain surface and on the contents of total-phosphorus (P), phytate-P and phenolic acids. Wheat was sown in a two-factor experiment established with the method of randomized sub-blocks. The first order factor included cropping systems: (a) crop rotation and (b) monoculture, whereas the second order factor included tillage systems: (1) conventional (CT); (2) reduced (RT); and (3) herbicide. Ozonation significantly reduced the count of fungi on the surface of grain, especially on the grain harvested from wheat monoculture. In addition, it increased the content of phytate-P but decreased the content of total-P. A higher total-P content was determined in the grain harvested from monoculture than from crop rotation, whereas phytate-P content in the grain from crop rotation was higher than from monoculture. The ozonated grain harvested from CT plots was characterized by a higher content of phytate-P and a lower content of total-P, compared to the non-ozonated grain. Ozonation also increased the content of phenolic acids in the grain, especially in that harvested from the RT system.

Two sites with different soil characteristics were evaluated - Lukavec u Pacova (cambisol) and Ivanovice na Hané (degraded chernozem). The type of fertilization influenced wheat yields. Nutrient uptake by winter wheat was higher under nitrogen (N) fertilization, which resulted in a negative balance of phosphorus (P) and potassium (K) and to a decrease of nutrient contents in the more fertile soils at Ivanovice na Hané. Two soil tests (Mehlich 3 method and NH4-acetate method) were used to determine P and K availability. The mineral nitrogen fertilization negatively and significantly affected NH4-acetate extractable concentrations of nutrients in the soils and these were lower in comparison with concentrations of P and K determined by Mehlich 3 method. Relative availability of P in alkaline soils from Ivanovice treated with mineral N increased while the soil pH decreased.

In the years 2010-2013 selected soil properties and winter wheat yields as influenced by these rotations were analysed. The soils under winter wheat grown in crop rotations A and B contained similar amounts of total organic carbon (C) (0.76% and 0.80%, respectively) and did not differ significantly with respect to biological characteristics (contents of microbial biomass C and nitrogen (N), dehydrogenase and acid phosphatase activities). Averaged for 3 years, the highest grain yields were obtained for winter wheat grown after potato in rotation A (7.94 t/ha) and the lowest (6.0 t/ha) for wheat following winter rye in rotation B. The highest take-all index and the lowest numbers of ears/m2 were the main factors influencing poor performance of winter wheat following rye.

Wittmack ex A. Camus 1927) fertilized with mineral nitrogen Abstract: Two-way field experiment was carried out in a split-plot design in 4 growing seasons at the Experimental Station of the Bydgoszcz University of Science and Technology in Mochełek (Poland). The forecrops for winter triticale cv. Tulus were lupins: yellow, blue and white, field pea and spring barley. Nitrogen (N) fertilization in triticale after harvesting forecrops was: 0-60-120-180 kg N per ha. Average long-term yields of grain and protein in triticale after leguminous forecrops were statistically similar, by 0.84 t/ha and 86 kg/ha higher than after spring barley. On plots without mineral N fertilization, by over 1.5 t/ha more grain was obtained after leguminous forecrops, and by 142 kg/ha more protein than on the plot after spring barley. However, the rate of 180 kg N/ha guaranteed obtaining a significantly highest mean protein yield in triticale. The applied mineral N fertilization at rates from 60 to 180 kg N/ha did not significantly vary the average yield of winter triticale. Mineral nitrogen (Nmin) content in the layer 0-60 cm after harvesting the leguminous forecrop without mineral N fertilization was by 25.5% higher than after harvesting spring barley fertilized with a rate of 60 kg N per ha.
