CRITERION TO DETERMINE OPTIMUM SURPLUSES OF GROSS NITROGEN BALANCE ON THE LEVEL NUTS-0, NUTS-2
Journal Title: Acta Scientiarum Polonorum – Agricultura - Year 2016, Vol 15, Issue 1
Abstract
This paper presents a methodical attempt to determine criteria for the optimum surpluses of gross nitrogen balance, with regard to the conditions of agricultural production in recent years in Poland. To determine those criteria, factors such as active nitrogen and its gaseous compound emissions as well as atmospheric rainfall deposition were taken into account on the input side of the balance. Nitrogen that can be possibly taken with the yield, under optimal weather conditions is the main factor on the output side of the balance. The optimal permissible nitrogen balances, due to the calculated methodological assumptions, are in the range of 30.8 to 75.9 kg·ha-1 UAA. The average permissible gross nitrogen balance, based on the data from the years 2011-2013, should be approx. 50 kg·ha-1 UAA. Currently, it is higher than the determined optimal balance only by 2.5 kg·ha-1 UAA.

THE EFFECT OF SOWING METHOD AND BIOSTIMULATORS ON AUTUMN DEVELOPMENT AND OVERWINTERING OF WINTER RAPE
Background. The aim of the study was an assessment of the effect of using various sowing methods and types of applied biostimulators on pre-dormancy plant habit as well as on overwintering of three types of winter rape c...
THE EFFECT OF DIFFERENT FORMS OF SULPHUR ON ITS CONTENT IN PLANTS
Background. In addition to N, P and K, S is a valuable plant nutrient that determines the size, and quality of harvested crop yields. Its deficiency leads to lower yields of plants and deterioration of their quality para...
MICRONUTRIENT CONTENTS IN THE GREEN MASS OF MIXTURES OF BLUE LUPINE WITH SPRING RYE DEPENDING ON PROPORTION OF COMPONENTS AND TIME OF HARVESTING
Background. Mixed crops allow providing feed with a wide range of minerals and a better quality in comparison with crops from pure sowing. The paper presents the results of a study from 2009–2011 aimed at determining the...
EFFECT OF VARIED LEVELS OF FERTILIZATION WITH POTASSIUM ON FIELD PEA YIELD AND CONTENT AND UPTAKE OF NITROGEN
Background. The aim of this study was to estimate the effect of different potassium fertilization rates on the yield and nitrogen content and uptake by field pea. Also, an attempt was made to make a modelled estimation o...
