“…The yield from the nonfertilised Mg field ranged from 31.5 to 35.9 t ha −1 FW, while that from the fertilised Mg field was averaged at 34.5-38.1 t ha −1 FW. Average potato tuber yields recorded in the study (particularly in the variant with Mg) were higher than the average yield in Poland [35,36].…”

The nutritional quality of potato tubers is cultivar-specific and depends on climate-soil conditions and agrotechnical practices, as well as the conditions during long-term storage. Studies were performed from 2009–2011 to determine the effects of magnesium fertilisation and storage duration on the contents of the anti-nutritive compound nitrates, nitrites and total glycoalkaloids (TGA) in potato tubers of mid-early cultivar “Bila” (Solanum tuberosum L.). Magnesium (Mg) was applied in doses of 0, 20, 40, 60, 80 and 100 kg MgO ha−1, respectively, in the form of kieserite–magnesium sulphate (26% MgO). Potato quality after harvest and after three and six months of storage was determined. The content of nitrates in tubers after harvest ranged from 303 to 356 mg kg−1 FW and nitrites from 1.59 to 1.67 mg kg−1 FW. Increasing magnesium fertilisation reduced the nitrate and nitrite content of tubers but increased TGA content. Possible explanations for the TGA increase after Mg supply are discussed. Tubers that contained less TGA after harvest also had less glycoalkaloids after storage. However, physical damage during harvest or transportation, exposure to light and bad storage conditions increase the concentrations of glycoalkaloids in tubers. The consumption of cultivar “Bila” would not exceed the acceptable daily intake of harmful substances.

“…In order to properly identify plant fertilisation needs, the current supply of certain macroelements to the fertilised soils has to be known. These include such elements as phosphorus (Berg and Joern, 2006;Bünemann et al, 2011;Fernandes et al, 2000;Mc Dowell and Sharpley, 2003), potassium (Brennan and Bell, 2013;Fotyma, 2007;Moody and Bell, 2006), magnesium (Tkaczyk et al, 2016;Tyler and Olsson, 2001) and sulphate-sulphur (Gąsior and Alvarez, 2012;Szulc et al, 2014), and microelements such as boron (Majidi et al, 2010;Shaaban, 2010;Szulc and Rutkowska, 2013), copper Su and Yang, 2008), iron (Mcgrath and Zhao, 2006), manganese (Antonkiewicz et al, 2016) and zinc (Barczak et al, 2009;Domańska, 2009;Rutkowska et al, 2014a). This knowledge should be complemented by the equally important data on other physicochemical properties of the fertilised soils, such as pH KCl or humus content (Aponte et al, 2010;Lipiński and Bednarek, 1998).…”

In the years 2008-2011, an environmental study was conducted for Polish soils, focusing on the south-eastern Poland soils, as they exhibit significant acidification. This study aimed at assessing the current pHKCl and the supply of basic macro- (P, K, Mg and S-SO4) and microelements (B, Cu, Fe, Mn and Zn) in the collected soil samples, and also at determining their relationship with the soil agronomic category, humus content and pH class. Soil reaction and humus and macronutrient content were positively correlated with the amount of colloidal clay and particles < 0.02 mm. In the majority of cases, the macro-element content in the soil was positively correlated with soil pH and humus content. As for microelements, a usually significant and positive correlation was found between the soil agronomic category and the content of manganese, iron and zinc, whereas for the content of boron and copper, no such relationship was observed. A significant and positive correlation between soil reaction and the content of manganese, iron and boron was also found. Such correlations were not observed in relation to copper and zinc content. Statistical analysis indicated that the content of boron and manganese depended to the greatest extent on the investigated physicochemical properties.

“…Boron concentration in soils varies from 2 to 200 mg B kg -1 , but generally less than 5-10% of its content is in a form available to plants (Diana, 2006). In Poland sandy soils dominate, and with the content of this chemical element being too small it is necessary to apply boron with mineral fertilizers to the soil or as a foliar spray (Szulc and Rutkowska, 2013).…”

This paper deals with the effects of Trichoderma harzianum application and boron (Nitrabor) topdressing on the growth, yield, and quality of spring broccoli. A field experiment was carried out in central-eastern Poland, in 2014-2015.The experiment was established as a split-block design with three replicates. There were the following combinations of Trichoderma harzianum treatment: added to the nursery substrate; added to the nursery substrate and as topdressing in a form of spray after seedlings were planted out; as pre-planting treatment just before seedlings were planted out, followed by topdressing in a form of spray; control without Trichoderma harzianum. Two types of late topdressing for broccoli were used: nitrogen topdressing or Nitrabor to the soil. The treatment significantly increased the marketable yield of broccoli curds. This increase relative to control ranged from 17 to 49%, depending on the Trichoderma harzianum treatment. The best results were obtained when boron topdressing was combined with Trichoderma harzianum added to the nursery substrate and then the fungus was applied in a form of spray after seedlings were planted out. Broccoli inoculation with Trichoderma harzianum also increased L-Ascorbic acid content in the plants. Topdressing with boron significantly increased the marketable yield of curds, their weight, the diameter of their circumference, the diameter of the stem, the leaf greenness index value (SPAD), as well as the content of dry matter, total sugars, and L-Ascorbic acid.
