The present study compares the consequences of soil compaction due to machinery in a selected 13.7 ha plot at Hronské Kosihy (Slovak Republic). The crop was winter wheat, while the changes of selected soil properties (penetration resistance and gravimetric soil water content) were monitored. The experimental plot was divided into 11 zones with different initial status of compaction: one of them was the reference zone without compaction (P1), five zones were out of the track line, four were directly in the track lines, and one was a collection route. The number of passages in each zone was from 0 up to more than 15. The impact of the number of machinery passages on gravimetric soil water content was found significant both in and out of the track lines with an average value of 17.37%. The monitoring of the passage number showed to be important also in the monitoring of soil penetration resistance (P <0.05). The average value of penetration resistance in the P1 zone was 2.33 MPa. The dependence of soil compaction on passages (P <0.05) was identified by the assessment and comparison of individual impacts of passages in the track zones (P3, P4, P6, and P7). A similar scenario was found also in case of the dependence of soil compaction on the passages monitored off the track lines (P2, P5). Also, the change of tire pressure was statistically significant, its decrease from 0.19 to 0.15 MPa showed to be beneficial. The highest compaction was monitored in the passages in P11 with an average value of 5.36 MPa, representing 2.3 times higher values than the reference one. The creation of a collection line enables reducing the compaction of the entire plot. The collection line should cover only a very small part of the plot.

The study aims to analyze the chemical components of Astragalus spinosus roots extract after the ethanolic extraction process using techniques such as gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, infrared, and UV-Vis spectroscopy to indicate the phytochemical content of the extract. The extract contained various compounds, including alkaloids, terpenoids, flavonoids, phenols, and carboxylic acids. Flavonoid and phenolic content were measured by the colorimetric method and found to be 511.19±35.75 and 24.64±0.07 mg, respectively. Subsequently, antibacterial, antioxidant, and anticancer activities were evaluated for the ethanolic extract. Antibacterial effectiveness was concentration-dependent against Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus mutans, showing optimal inhibition at 100 mg/mL with inhibition areas of 2.81±0.88 and 2.68±2.93 mm, respectively. Antioxidant activity was measured using DPPH with a 200 µg/mL of extract concentration, displaying maximum scavenging activity (71.85±6.43%) and FRAP activity (55.93±1.4%) at 0.64 µg/mL. The alcoholic extract exhibited decreasing vitality of (MCF-7) breast cancer cells as concentration increased, with viability reaching a minimum of 35.378 ± 5.072 at 400 μg/mL.

“…"Types of aeroponics includes Low-pressure units, High pressured devices, and Commercial systems. A low-pressure pump delivers nutrient solution via jets or ultrasonic transducers, which then drips or drains back into the reservoir" [3,4]. "As plants grow to maturity in these units, they tend to suffer from dry sections of the root systems, which prevent adequate nutrient uptake" [5].…”

Aeroponics is a technique of cultivating or culturing plants in the absence of soil or a consolidated medium. It is that the plant is just grown in the moist air or mist medium to transmit the nutrients required by plants. To be honest I call is as a tool for research and commercial production activities because when we talk about practical application there will be many aspects for consideration such as orientation, site selection, skilled technicians, economic costs weather, and climate mainly the traditional farmers. All these operations cannot be handled by a small and simple farmer with ease, this is the reason for the current trend of aeroponics which is new to people and being practically utilized only for research, aesthetics, and for commercial purposes. Aeroponics need special structures which can maintain a controlled environment for the fulfillment of all the basic and required conditions by the plants being studied or grown inside. It requires proper equipment like aeroponic growth chambers, phytosanitary conditions, cooling mechanization, etc. aeroponics has many uses as they can be grown in less space, are useful for seed production, and used in parks and restaurants for ambiance, can grow crops extraterrestrial, pollution free but can’t be termed as organic as it is grown without the soil but yes, we can say it organically as there is no use of chemical fertilizer or pesticide n herbicides. There is a big debate going on this outside but this is just what my perspective is. Further development should come up for the sustainability of aeroponics as a medium for agricultural practice.
