Uma alternativa de manejo das doenças causadas por Phytophthora spp. é o uso de matéria orgânica. No presente trabalho foi avaliada a potencialidade do lodo de esgoto na indução de supressividade in vitro a P. nicotianae. O efeito do lodo de esgoto incorporado ao solo na sobrevivência de P. nicotianae foi avaliado mediante um experimento fatorial com dois fatores: doses de lodo de esgoto (0, 10, 20 e 40% p/p) e concentrações de inóculo [0, 10 ou 20 g de grãos de trigo (Triticum aestivum) colonizados kg-1]. Aos 21 dias, quando aumentaram as doses de lodo de esgoto, a sobrevivência de P. nicotianae e os pHs das misturas diminuíram, e as condutividades elétricas (CE) aumentaram. As correlações entre a CE e a sobrevivência do patógeno foram negativas e significativas (P>0,05). Para estudar o efeito dos compostos químicos envolvidos na supressividade, foram obtidos extratos em água, H2SO4 2N e KOH 0,4N de misturas de areia – lodo de esgoto (20% p/p), e foram acrescentados ao meio de cultura e seu efeito avaliado no crescimento das colônias de P. nicotianae. O extrato ácido (H2SO4 2N) do tratamento com 20% de lodo de esgoto inibiu significativamente (P>0,05) o crescimento da colônia do patógeno. O efeito biológico foi estudado mediante isolamento de microrganismos em meio de cultura e seleção por antagonismo. No bioensaio com plântulas de alfafa (Medicago sativa) destacaram-se os isolados F9.1 (Aspergillus sp.) e A12.1 (actinomiceto, não identificado); e no teste de culturas pareadas destacou-se um Trichoderma sp. e dois actinomicetos por antibiose, e um Trichoderma sp. e três Aspergillus sp. por hiperparasitismo.

Experiments were conducted to determine the effect of Sea Crop (SC 16) and Ergostim on the yield and nutrient composition of a few crops. Studies conducted under greenhouse and field conditions showed that the yields of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) and peas (Pisum sativum L.) were not affected by the addition of SC16. The nitrogen (N) and sulfur (S) concentrations of the two crops were not affected by SC 16, except in the control and SC 16 treatment only where the increases were likely due to a concentration effect, since these two treatments had lower yields. Boron (B) and molybdenum (Mo) concentrations in the plants were significantly affected by B and Mo applications, but not by SC 16. A greenhouse study showed that the yields of alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) and wheat were not affected by the addition of Ergostim. The addition of Ergostim did not affect the N or S concentration of wheat or three cuts of alfalfa.

Abstract The aim of this work was to determine and compare the occurrence of epigeic groups in two methods of farming, ecological one and integrated one. The research was conducte in the locality Nitra – Dolná Malanta in the years 2013 and 2014. The monitoring locality is situated in the south-western part of Slovakia, in altitude 175–180 m on highly productive soils. For the collection of biological material, the earth traps method was applied, used during the vegetation period (from April to October), within both farming systems, at Hordeum sativum, Triticum aestivum and Vicia faba undersowing with Medicago sativa. In canopy of these crops, two soil traps were installed, renewed in monthly intervals. The total of 7,722 exemplars of epigeic groups was obtained, of which 4,355 exemplars were in ecological farming and 3,367 exemplars in integrated farming system. In both treatments, 19 epigeic groups were determined, with dominant abundance of Coleoptera, Collembola, Acarina, Araneae. Also other groups such as Diplopoda, Heteroptera, Chilopoda etc. were observed in lower occurrence. Based on the evaluation of influence of the crop in terms of the occurrence of epigeic groups, the most suitable conditions created Vicia faba with undersowing Medicago sativa (integrated farming) and Triticum aestivum (ecological farming). On the basis of calculated indexes, both farming systems can be evaluated as homeostatically balanced, providing present epigeic groups with topical and trophic conditions.

Wheat (Triticum aestivum) is an important grains plant that can sustain food security and holds high nutritional values to the benefit of mankind. Activities of salinity in arid and semi-arid region have drastically reduced the production of wheat grains. Selenium (Se) is a micronutrient required by plants in small concentration to aid their growth. This study was aimed at identifying impact of Se on salinity-stressed wheat plants. Wheat seeds were soaked for eight hours in 0, 50, 100 and 150 mg/L Selenite concentrations and five sterilize-treated seeds were sown in 5 kg quantity of soil. This was subjected to 0, 100 and 200 mM of Sodium chloride (NaCl) concentration, respectively. The study revealed that Se increased production/expression of superoxide dismutase and catalase enzymes under salinity stress, thus growth of wheat plants was improved. Although the effects of Se on the wheat plants were concentration-based, nevertheless low lipid peroxidation and plant growth at 150 mg/L of Se were observed. Toxicity of Se to wheat plant could occur when there is no salinity stress. Therefore, farmers are encouraged to prime wheat seeds with 150 mg/L Se when cultivating saline soils.
