“…The annual precipitation sum ranges from 400 mm (in 1982) to 854 mm (in 1966) and with averages around 550 mm (Figure 1, and Table A2 in Appendix A) in study period; lower than the average for the whole of Poland, which is about 620 mm [22]. The mean precipitation in May and June was 64 mm and 80 mm, respectively (Figure A1 in Appendix A).…”

The anticipated increases in environmental variability associated with climate change may lead to enhanced abiotic plant stresses (e.g., heat stress, drought stress, etc.) resulting in greater inter-annual yield fluctuations and higher crop production risk. While there has been increasing attention to adaptation measures, there is little evidence available on how to change agronomic management strategies to maintain stable yields in winter rye production systems in Poland. This study uses rye yields from the unique Skierniewice Long-term experiment (Poland) to examine for the first-time the long-term effects of different nutrient regimes on crop yield stability from 1966 to 2015. Yields from six combinations of mineral fertilizers and lime (CaNPK, NPK, CaPK, CaNK, CaNP, Ca), with and without additional manure, were used to estimate the temporal yield variability of winter rye. A novel statistical approach based on a mixed model approach with REML (restricted maximum likelihood) stability parameter estimation was used. The results showed that the use of additional manure in ‘sub-optimal’ mineral fertilizer treatments, such as Ca and CaPK (without mineral N), reduced the temporal yield variability of rye. In contrast, additional organic input led to more variable rye yields in already ‘optimal’ treatments including mineral N (CaNPK and NPK), compared to those with no additional manure. Winter rye given CaNPK and NPK, without additional organic manure demonstrated high yield and low temporal yield variability. In contrast, yields of treatments with no mineral N (Ca and CaPK) and no additional manure supply were low and unstable. In addition, it was found that increasing soil organic carbon resulted in larger, more stable yields. These findings highlight the importance of ensuring rye crops receive sufficient fertilizer to maintain crop production levels and yield stability, especially in dry years. They also demonstrate the importance of avoiding the excessive use of organic manures when fertilizer inputs are sufficient to meet crop demand. Overall, the study provides novel insights about how to maintain grain yields and minimize temporal yield variation of rye in arable cropping systems, which will become increasingly important in a changing climate in Poland and in other temperate climate areas. This study also highlights the importance of soil organic carbon for improving the climate resilience of winter rye, while simultaneously meeting the demand for more sustainable management of the soil.

“…Long-term experiment, have been used to investigate the effects of organic and mineral fertilizers or crop rotation on the yield and growth of vegetables (Chroboczek, 1962). However, in recent times, long-term fertilizer experiments have focused on, among others, the relationship between SOM parameters and soil structure (Šimanský et al, 2019); sorption capacity of sandy soil ; effect of fertilization on physicochemical properties of the soil selected for leeks and carrots (Rumpel and Ostrzycka, 1999); the effect of long-term fertilization on physico-chemical soil properties in rye monoculture and five-year crop rotation (Stȩpień and Kobiałka, 2019). So far, majority of papers presented results showing the effect of fertilization on topsoil (A horizon).…”

Long-term agricultural experiments allow for the determination of the infl uence of agricultural practices on soil properties. The objective of the study was to determine the effect of 96-year-old fertilization (NPK mineral fertilization and farmyard manure (FYM) use) on selected physical and chemical soil properties. The research was carried out in an experimental fi eld in Skierniewice, central Poland, where the experiments have been conducted since 1923. Seven soil profi les (Retisols or Luvisols) were studied. Long-term fertilization caused various changes in the chemical properties of the studied soil (pH, the content of total organic carbon (TOC), total nitrogen (TN) and total sulphur (TS); exchangeable acidity (EA), total potential acidity (hydrolytic acidity) (TPA), cation exchange capacity (CEC), the total exchangeable bases (TEB), base saturation (BS)). The effect of long-term fertilization is most evident in the topsoil (the Ap horizon). The NPK fertilization led to acidifi cation which was expressed by the decrease of soil pH (down to the value of 5.1), as well as the increase of EA, TPA, and exchangeable Al. Long-term high-dose FYM application (40 t and 60 t ha -1 per year) led to the stabilization of soil pH to a level of 6.2-6.5 throughout the soil profi le (down to 120 cm). The use of a combination of NPK fertilization and FYM application led to acidification of the topsoil similar to the soil in which NPK fertilizers were applied alone. Long-term FYM application led to the increase in TOC, TN, and TS concentrations in the Ap horizons of the studied soils. Long-term use of NPK fertilizers had no signifi cant effect on soil CEC, however long-term use of FYM increased the CEC in the Ap horizon of soils. An overall positive effect has been confi rmed in the use of high doses of FYM (40 t and 60 t ha -1 per year), which improves the chemical properties (soil pH, TOC, TN, and TS content, as well as CEC) of the soil compared to the control plot and plots with NPK fertilization alone. These fi ndings were confi rmed by PCCA analysis.

“…Spore-forming bacterial strains were isolated from bulk and rhizospheric soil taken from a nearly 100-year static experiment established in 1922 (located at the Experimental Station of the Faculty of Agriculture and Biology, Warsaw University of Life Sciences in Skierniewice) [27][28][29]. The soil for strain isolation was taken from rye and potato monoculture, rotation without legumes, and five-year rotation (including rye and potato).…”

Cellulolytic enzymes produced by spore-forming bacteria seem to be a potential solution to the degradation of lignocellulosic waste. In this study, several dozen bacterial spore-forming strains were isolated from soil and one of them was selected for further studies. The studied bacterial strain was identified to genus Bacillus (strain 8E1A) by 16S rRNA gene sequencing. Bacillus sp. 8E1A showed an activity of carboxymethyl cellulase (CMCase) with visualization with Congo Red-25 mm (size of clear zone). To study CMCase, filter paper hydrolase (FPase), and microcrystalline cellulose Avicel hydrolase (Avicelase) production, three different cellulose sources were used for bacterial strain cultivation: carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), filter paper (FP), and microcrystalline cellulose Avicel. The highest CMCase (0.617 U mL−1), FPase (0.903 U mL−1), and Avicelase (0.645 U mL−1) production of Bacillus sp. 8E1A was noted for using CMC (after 216 h of incubation), Avicel cellulose (after 144 h of incubation), and CMC (after 144 h of incubation), respectively. Subsequently, the cellulases’ activity was measured at various temperatures and pH values. The optimal temperature for CMCase (0.535 U mL−1) and Avicelase (0.666 U mL−1) activity was 70 °C. However, the highest FPase (0.868 U mL−1) activity was recorded at 60 °C. The highest CMCase and Avicelase activity was recorded at pH 7.0 (0.520 and 0.507 U mL−1, respectively), and the optimum activity of FPase was noted at pH 6.0 (0.895 U mL−1). These results indicate that the cellulases produced by the Bacillus sp. 8E1A may conceivably be used for lignocellulosic waste degradation in industrial conditions.
