Ecological and agrochemical assessment of the state of agricultural landscapes in Ivano-Frankivsk region

In the Western region of Ukraine, one of the main factors influencing the ecological safety of agricultural landscapes is anthropogenic pressure. Based on monitoring studies, ecological and agrochemical assessment of the state of agrolandscapes of IvanoFrankivsk region is conducted, in particular in residential areas. The state of soils, natural waters and crop production was studied by the method of route monitoring. Chemical and analytical studies were carried out using methods of chemical, physical and chemical analysis using modern methods of atomic absorption spectrophotometry, flame photometry, in accordance with the requirements of the quality management system, according to methods that meet the regulatory framework of Ukraine. It was determined that some of the studied soil samples had very low acidity and high content of biogenic elements (especially phosphorus and potassium) and pollutants. The quality of natural waters in some cases did not meet the regulatory requirements. This is due to both natural factors — features of the hydrological regime, and anthropogenic — violation of sanitary rules for the development of the territory, the introduction of high doses of mineral and organic fertilizers, noncompliance with manure storage technologies, the maintenance of domestic animals and poultry, and the disposal of livestock and household waste. Some samples of crop products did not meet sanitary and hygienic standards for the content of lead, cadmium, nickel, copper and iron. Studies indicate a significant impact of the anthropogenic factor on the change in the quality of soil, natural waters and crop production. Conducting an ecological and agrochemical assessment of the state of agricultural landscapes in the Western region, including residential areas and establishing the features of migration and accumulation of biogenic elements and ecotoxicants, is a promising area of research to develop measures to prevent pollution of soil, groundwater, open reservoirs and plant products.

Potato Farming Biologization as a Food Security Basis

The paper discusses the experimental results of growing potatoes based on scientifically grounded crop rotations and biologized technologies. The main biological agriculture problem is to maintain the ecological balance in the biosphere based on the search for natural reserves to increase crop productivity while improving soil fertility and quality of crop products and reducing costs for energy and resources required for their production. The studies have revealed that green manure affects not only the yield of potatoes but also the population of soil microorganisms, which leads to increased reproduction of bacteria and actinomycetes. The highest yield was recorded in the crop rotation with sweet clover – 16.8 t/ha; when plowing the pea-oat mix, it reached up to 15.4 t/ha, and when plowing oats - up to 16.3 t/ha, which increased yield by 0.5-2.9 %. From among the most effective environmentally sound technologies, organic fertilizers, growth stimulants, and various fungicides are also applied. When using various organic fertilizer doses in combination with mineral fertilizers, the yield of potatoes and the content of phosphorus and potassium increase. Complex treatments of plants with ‘Ridomil Gold’ and ‘Cuproxat’ fungicides during the growing season reduce the incidence of fungal and bacterial diseases in both plants (by 3.7-3.9 %) and tubers (by 2.7-3.5 %) during the storage period.

The impact of NPK fertilizer on growth and nutrient accumulation in juniper (Juniperus procera) trees grown on fire-damaged and intact soils.

Wildfires significantly alter soil properties and result in vegetation shifts; therefore, rapid reforestation activities are needed in the forests affected by wildfires. The decreased nutrient in the soil is the obvious effect of wildfires; however, little is known about the reforestation of Juniper (Juniperus procera) forests with application of NPK fertilizers. Juniper forests are common in Asir and Taif regions of Saudi Arabia and vulnerable to wildfires; thus, reforestation is needed after the onset of fires. This study assessed the impact of different doses of organic NPK fertilizer (0, 5 and 10 g/L) on growth and nutrient accumulation of Juniper trees grown on fire-damaged and intact soils. Data relating to tree height, number of leaves per plant, fresh and dry biomass accumulation in shoot and root, chlorophyll contents and uptake of N, P, K, and Na were recorded. Individual and interactive effects of soil types and fertilizer doses significantly altered all measured traits with minor exceptions. Overall, higher values of the measured traits were recorded for intact soil and 10 g/L fertilize dose. The increasing fertilizer doses improved the growth and nutrient acquisition and application of 10 g/L fertilizer on intact soil recorded the highest values of growth traits. Juniper trees grown on fire-damaged soil accumulated higher amount of nitrogen than intact soil. Similarly, the trees grown on intact soil accumulated lower amount of Na and maintained comparable K/Na ratio to intact soil. It is concluded that supplying 10 g/L fertilizer could improve the establishment of Juniper trees on fire-damaged soil. Therefore, organic fertilizer can be used to improve the reforestation of wildfire-affected Juniper forests in the Asir province.

Co-application of biochar and organic fertilizer promotes the yield and quality of red pitaya (Hylocereus polyrhizus) by improving soil properties

This study evaluated the combined impact of biochar and organic fertilizer on the soil properties, yield and quality of red pitaya (Hylocereus polyrhizus). A two-year (2019 and 2020) field experiment was conducted to study the effects of 3 rates of biochar (with carbon fertilizer ratios of 0%, 3%, and 6% w/w) combined with 3 levels of organic fertilizer (22.5, 45, and 90 t ha−1) on soil properties, along with red pitaya yield and quality. The results showed that soil pH, total organic carbon, available nutrients (N, P, and K), the yield and qualities (reduced sugar, soluble protein, and soluble solid) of red pitaya increased with the application of organic fertilizer compared with no application of biochar and organic fertilizer (CK treatment), but the combined application of biochar and organic fertilizer was more effective than their sole application. Furthermore, a medium dose of organic fertilizer combined with 3% biochar (C3F2 treatment) and a high dose of organic fertilizer combined with 3% biochar (C3F3 treatment) had the highest yields of red pitaya in 2019 and 2020. However, an application of 6% biochar with a low dose of organic fertilizer treatment (C6F1) had the highest profit in 2020, not the C3F3 treatment. The highest profits were observed in the C3F2 (71.0 × 103 RMB·t−1) and C6F1 (51.2 × 103 RMB·t−1) treatments. From the point of view of red pitaya yield and economic benefits, 3% biochar +45 t ha−1 organic fertilizer was the recommended combination that showed the best synergistic effect.

Factors affecting farmers’ decision to use organic fertilizers on Robusta coffee plantation: A case study in Tanggamus, Lampung

The dependency on agri-chemical inputs, such as fertilizers and pesticides, tends to increase among small-scale farmers in developing countries. On the other hand, demand for organic products, including coffee, continuously increases due to the rising concern of the consumers for sustainable products and a healthy lifestyle without chemical residues. This study aims to understand the determinant factors that affect small-scale farmers in using organic fertilizers. The research was conducted in Tanggamus Regency from June – August 2019 using a survey method. Respondents were determined using a simple random sampling method. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and a linear regression model. The results showed that the use of organic fertilizers is still limited and farmers tend to use chemical fertilizers to maintain their coffee plants. The dose of inorganic fertilizer and ownership of the number of coffee trees have a negative effect on the application of organic fertilizer. While the experience of farmers in coffee farming and the age of coffee plants have a positive effect on the dose of organic fertilizer applied.

ДИНАМИКА СОДЕРЖАНИЯ МИКРОЭЛЕМЕНТОВ В ПОЧВЕ ПРИ ОСВОЕНИИ МАЛОПРОДУКТИВНЫХ ЗАЛЕЖНЫХ ЗЕМЕЛЬ ВЕРХНЕВОЛЖЬЯ

The studies were carried out at LLC Ruch’evskoe-1, Rzhevsky district, Tver region in 2012…2018 during development of low-yielding, previously reclaimed lands that were retired from circulation. The total area of arable land is 5297 hectares, the soils are sod-podzolic, light loamy in terms of particle size distribution. The effect of the systematic application of high doses of organic fertilizers from pig-breeding complexes in the form of solid fraction of manure (60…80 t/ha) and liquid waste (100…120 m3/ha) on the dynamics of the content of copper, zinc, boron and manganese in the arable layer has been studied. It was found that during the six-year observation period on soils with a leaching type of water regime, the average weighted copper content had only positive tendency to increase as the increment to the initial value was 0.1 mg per a kilogram of soil (0.1 mg/kg), which was within the experimental error and amounted to 1.7 mg/kg at the optimal value for the region 2.45 mg/kg. A similar situation is typical in the study of the dynamics of zinc, the average weighted content of which reached 0.9 mg/kg, which is significantly lower than the optimal level of 3.55 mg/kg. Consequently, with the deacidification of fallow lands from the introduction of alkaline organic fertilizers, a significant increase in the available forms of copper and zinc was not noted, which requires additional introduction of microelements to eliminate their deficiency. At the same time, the systematic application of high doses of organic fertilizers significantly improved the provision of low-yielding lands with boron and manganese, the content of which in the arable layer approached the optimal value and at the end of observations amounted to 0.50 and 44.8 mg/kg, respectively, with an optimal level of 0.52 and 50.5 mg/kg.
