In Poland, crop production is developing dynamically, which is influenced by natural, economic and social conditions. The measurable effect of this is the change in the sown area, yields and harvests of the main crops. Based on data from the Central Statistical Office, it was shown that in the years 2011–2021 the national sown area of wheat, tritic...
Calcium (Ca) plays a key role in cell wall stabilization and various physiological processes. Ca fertilizers are widely used in agriculture to meet crop demands and improve yield and quality. However, traditional Ca fertilizers often suffer from low solubility, poor absorption, and mobility issues. Chelated Ca fertilizers offer enhanced efficiency ...
Leveraging the transformative potential of digital technologies to support the farmers’ green production transformation (FGPT) is a critical catalyst for facilitating the accelerated green transformation and upgrading of agricultural systems, thereby achieving high-quality agricultural development. Using survey data from major watermelon- and muskm...
Substances of organic origin are seeing increasing use in agriculture as rich sources of nutrients for plants. The aim of this study was to determine the microbiological contamination of sewage sludge and digestate to assess their safe use as fertilizers in Poland. The assessment of microbial soil, sewage sludge and digestate contamination was base...
The purpose of this study was to develop a complex composition of a foliar liquid mineral fertilizer containing NPK macroelements and microelements including Fe, Mg, B, S, Zn, Cu, Mo, Ni, V, and Cr. This complex fertilizer aims to support the optimal development and maturation of maize crops, thereby enhancing both the quality and quantity of produ...
The large-scale dieback of spruce monocultures, especially in the lower alpine, has become a significant problem and has necessitated the restoration of these areas, mainly using seedlings produced in forest nurseries. The primary source of nutrients for seedlings can be slow-release fertilizers and an appropriate dose of fertilizer improves the ef...

Introduction The efficiency of potato production depends to a large extent on the production of quality seeds that meet the requirements of the growing region. The main component of this production includes breeding, which creates the genetic basis of seeds. The process of establishing patterns between the amount of fertilizer application (“Aquarin...
Residue management at the farm level is essential for ensuring sustainable agricultural productivity. This field experiment, initiated in 2005, provides maize data from 2016 to 2018. This study evaluates the impact of crop residue management and fertilization on maize yield and yield components. Maize was grown in a crop rotation sequence consistin...
Nowadays, agricultural practices require special attention due to their important contribution to water pollution, the more so as they are associated with environmental and health impairments. Despite legislation addressing nutrient pollution, there are still high levels of nutrients in water bodies, as evidenced by the results identified in the li...
Disposing of banana peels (BPs) as bio-organic waste is an environmental challenge. Rich in potassium, BPs are often discarded despite their agricultural value. Reports on the valorization of BP are increasing, but no review has focused on BP fertilizer preparation methods. This study aims to review and analyze these methods to guide researchers an...
