Interests: examination of water management of chernozem soil in maize, winter wheat and peas. Biological and agrotechnical factors of plants and crop production (yield, LAI, chlorophyll content of leaves and interaction of agrotechnical factors). I’m involved in 36 years old long-term experiment, I examine correlation of plant production and agrotechnical elements (crop-rotation, irrigation, plant density) and environmental factors (precipitation, temperature) and other different plants (winter wheat, sunflower) nutrient, variety and plant protection experiment.

Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The purpose of global plant production systems is to produce plant products that meet the increasing demand of feeding the world’s population, as well as meet the expectations of industry and other processors. Global environmental changes have become much more significant during the last decade. Researchers and producers both must face greater challenges generated by new circumstances resulting from global climatic change. Effective production can only be ensured through the optimalization of physiological and agronomical factors. Plant production professionals face and fight challenges and difficulties caused by soil and climatic anomalies on a daily basis. In order to increase research potential, we need a more precise and exact knowledge of plant physiological and agronomical production factors.

The purpose of the present publication is to introduce scientific results that enable the exploration of production factors with regard to all determining aspects that enable the definition of professional solutions to increase the efficiency of plant production. This volume includes publications that show producers solution possibilities to moderate abiotic effects that cause lower quality and quantity production results and enable effective global food production potential, as well as meet the expectations of sustainable soil cultivation systems. The international publication of these results will allow researchers to introduce prominent research results on a wide scale and to increase the efficiency of global plant production.

As plant growth stimulants, Ti and amino acids affect physiological processes of plants, promoting their vegetative and generative development and improving their yield and its quality. An experiment was carried out at the Experimental Station of the University of Agriculture in Krakow on degraded black earth soil formed from loess. Its aim was to determine the effect of two products, one containing amino acids and the other with Ti, on the Poa pratensis yield and its quality. Foliar application of amino acids and Ti, used on their own and together, constituted the main factor of the experiment. It was found that the treatment with both stimulants applied together significantly affected plant parameters. Compared to control, plants treated with those growth stimulants produced higher dry matter yields and contained significantly more phosphorus, potassium, calcium, magnesium, and sodium in dry matter. The highest effect was recorded on plots where combined application of amino acids and Ti was used. Almost as good results were recorded when amino acids were applied on their own. Regarding the cuts, higher effects were noted in the first and second ones than in the third. The growth stimulants used in the present experiment had a positive effect on the chemical composition of Poa pratensis meadow plants. The results indicated that the treatment significantly increased macronutrient content, compared to control plants. The most favourable effects were recorded for plants on the plot with combined application of amino acids and Ti. Similar results were also obtained on plots where only amino acids were used. Regarding the harvests, better results were noted in the first and second ones than in the third. In view of the potential benefits, it would be advisable to extend and update research on the effects of these stimulants on other common varieties of forage grasses. Full article
