“…In some countries such as Spain, Sweden, Germany and Japan, the practice has also been mentioned. It is noticeable that almost all countries where Apis mellifera colonies are used to perform crop pollination are developed countries as stated by Bahadur et al (2015).…”

“…In other cases, farmers use pollen sprays (Bahadur et al, 2015), but the majority of farmers have recourse to managed bees to ensure crop pollination. The bees used include leaf cutter bees (Megachile rotundata), alkali bees (Nomia melanderi), several mason bee species (Osmia spp.…”

“…These phenomena can be traced back to inorganic components like potassium (K) and chlorine (Cl) that are abundant in biomass feedstock. Furthermore, about 90% of the alkali metals and chlorine in biomass are present as water-soluble or ion-exchangeable compounds and are therefore susceptible to release during combustion [1,[4][5][6][7].…”

A series of four different biomass feedstock was washed and hydrothermally carbonized at temperatures of 50 °C and 150–270 °C for four hours, respectively. For the first time both the resulting solid and liquid products were characterised and evaluated in a comprehensive study. Concerning fuel properties, HTC had a higher impact on the fuel quality than washing. HTC yielded hydrochar with higher carbon content than the starting material leading to a significant increase in heating value, while washing only had a minor effect on elemental composition and heating value. Treatment temperature was found to have the highest impact on LHV and elemental composition. Both washing and HTC proved effective in reducing potassium and chlorine content, while earth alkaline, phosphorous and silicon removal was limited. Process water characterisation revealed that filtrates from washing and HTC are acidic, with acidity being increased by HTC. Electrical conductivity of the effluent was found to correlate with the amount of electrolytes Na, K, Mg and Ca in the feedstock, thereby being feedstock dependent. COD, BOD5 and TOC values determined revealed that effluent from both washing and HTC is strongly contaminated by organic matter. The organic load was significantly higher in HTC effluents. Feedstock type was found to be the main influencing factor on effluent characteristics rather than HTC temperature. Nutrients were found in low concentrations. Graphic Abstract

“…Formulas of complex consortia applied to seeds, roots or soil are used to increase the availability of nutrients through their biological activity, also helping to efficiently reconvert existing microflora (Bhattacharjee and Dey, 2014). The necessity of using microbial bioproducts resulted from two reasons: increasing agricultural production and reducing the use of mineral fertilizers (Bahadur et al, 2015).…”

Microbial groups developed in the rhizosphere ensure the stability and dynamics of nutrient transfer processes to plants. Additional soil inoculation with rhizospheric bacteria acts to expand the ecological niche, supplements the activity, the number of individuals and promote plant growth. In today's agriculture, there is a need for the usage of rhizosphere microflora and integrative approaches to stimulate plant growth. The aim of the study is to evaluate the use of biofertilizers as starter stimulators in autumn wheat. Different concentrations of Bactofil, containing rhizospheric bacteria, were applied in small rhizothrones. Evaluation of relationships between bacterial inoculum and plant reveals the degree of applicability and adaptation to the soil conditions of exogenous microflora. Doses of 15.6 x 10 8 and 20.8 x 10 8 cells/m 2 stimulates the root elongation and higher level of mycorrhization. Bioproducts can be viable solutions to stimulate the initial development of wheat plants.
