“…Alburquerque et al [11], Jasiulewicz and Janiszewska [12], and Łagocka et al [13] indicated that, given the environmental risks and benefits, the use of this waste in agriculture is most rational, provided that methods for its use are developed. The limitation of environmentally harmful synthetic fertilization by the use of biogas plant waste seems to be very important, as has been similarly demonstrated in the case of microalgae and water plants from the family Lemnaceae, which applied to medium enabled a reduction of the recommended artificial fertilizer doses [14][15][16][17]. The use of waste from biogas plants for fertilizing purposes is part of the strategy of the circulating production of energy plants in which waste becomes a raw material in the next crop cycle.…”

The aim of the research was to investigate the effect of biogas plant waste on the physiological activity, growth, and yield of Jerusalem artichoke and the energetic usefulness of the biomass obtained in this way after the torrefaction process. The use of waste from corn grain biodigestion to methane as a biofertilizer, used alone or supplemented with Apol-humus and Stymjod, caused increased the physiological activity, growth, and yield of Jerusalem artichoke plants and can limit the application of chemical fertilizers, whose production and use in agriculture is harmful for the environment. The experiment, using different equipment, exhibited the high potential of Jerusalem artichoke fertilized by the methods elaborated as a carbonized solid biofuel after the torrefaction process. The use of a special design of the batch reactor using nitrogen, Thermogravimetric analysis, Differential thermal analysis, and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy and combustion of Jerusalem artichoke using TG-MS showed a thermo-chemical conversion mass loss on a level of 30% with energy loss (torgas) on a level of 10%. Compared to research results on other energy crops and straw biomass, the isothermal temperature of 245 °C during torrefaction for the carbonized solid biofuel of Jerusalem artichoke biomass fertilized with biogas plant waste is relativlely low. An SEM-EDS analysis of ash from carbonized Jerusalem artichoke after torrefaction was performed after its combustion.

“…Schiemenz and Eichler-Löbermann (2010) and Schiemenz et al (2011) have revealed different structures of ash which depend on the plant species burnt, while Park et al (2005) have shown that the composition of ash from wood was not consistent during three years of research. It is assumed that the use of ash from burnt biomass is more satisfactory than the use of sewage sludge, which may contain not only nutrients important for growth but also toxic substances which must be removed before its use in plant cultivation (Fang et al, 2017;Pszczółkowska et al, 2019).…”

“…Moreover, information concerning the use of plant biomass ash as an alternative to artificial fertilizers, which is the key to decreasing agro environment pollution, is difficult to find in the literature. The possibility of decreasing chemical fertilization through the foliar application of microalgae was demonstrated by Pszczółkowska et al (2019), Dębowski et al (2018) and Grzesik et al (2017a). To the best of our knowledge, a study concerning the use of ash from burnt Jerusalem artichoke in sorghum crops, separately or combined with waste from biogas plant and biopreparations, as well as their impact on plants and soil properties under the conditions of limited artificial fertilization has not been performed to date.…”

An increase in plant productivity and the limitation of environmental pollution through the use of natural fertilizers are becoming the most important issues in contemporary sustainable agriculture. Therefore, the purpose of the research was to demonstrate the effect of Jerusalem artichoke ash, used alone or together with biopreparations and biogas plant waste, on the growth and physiological activity of sorghum and to show their applicability as an alternative to chemical fertilization. The sorghum plants, cultivated in Central and North Poland, were fertilized with the YaraMila Complex, a chemical fertilizer (0, 150, 300 kg ha-1) and each concentration was supplemented with Jerusalem artichoke ash (0-4 t ha-1), applied separately or together with Apol-Humus (10 L ha-1), biogas plant waste (30 m 3 ha-1) and Stymjod (5 L ha-1). Within each YaraMila Complex addition, the all ash doses (preferably 2-4 t ha-1), biopreparations and biogas plant waste significantly enhanced plant growth, biomass yield, chlorophyll content, gas exchange (net photosynthesis, transpiration, stomatal conductance, intercellular CO 2 concentration), enzyme activity (acid and alkaline phosphorylase, RNase, dehydrogenase) and slightly enhanced the content of the measured elements in plants and their energy properties. The ash applied together with a lower than recommended amount of YaraMila Complex (0 or 150 kg ha-1) increased plant development slightly more than twice the dose of YaraMila Complex used alone (150 or 300 kg ha-1 , respectively). This demonstrates that the studied ash can serve as a natural fertilizer and may halve the recommended chemical fertilizer doses.

“…Stress caused by salinity of the environment limits the growth and development of terrestrial plants and degrades freshwater flora 26 . In plant cells, osmotic stress induced by NaCl is responsible for the formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), the resulting oxidative stress leads to degradation of many cellular macromolecules 27 , 28 . However, sodium chloride is the simplest and cheapest stress factor to be used for the effective production of biomass and biofuels on an industrial scale 29 .…”

Considering the main objectives of a circular economy, Lemnaceae plants have great potential for different types of techniques to valorize their biomass for use in biofuel production. For this reason, scientific interest in this group of plants has increased in recent years. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of salt stress on the growth and development of S. polyrrhiza and the valorization of biomass for biofuel and energy production in a circular economy. Plants were grown in a variety of culture media, including standard 'Z' medium, tap water, 1% digestate from a biogas plant in Piaszczyna (54° 01′ 21″ N, 17° 10′ 19″ E), Poland) and supplemented with different concentrations of NaCl (from 25 to 100 mM). Plants were cultured under phytotron conditions at 24 °C. After 10 days of culture, plant growth, fresh and dry biomass, as well as physio-chemical parameters such as chlorophyll content index, gas exchange parameters (net photosynthesis, transpiration, stomatal conductance and intercellular CO2 concentration), chlorophyll fluorescence measurements were analyzed. After 10 days of the experiment, the percentage starch content of Spirodela shoot segments was determined. S. polyrrhiza was shown to have a high starch storage capacity under certain unfavorable growth conditions, such as salt stress and nutrient deficiency. In the W2 (50 mM NaCl) series, compared to the control (Control2), starch levels were 76% higher in shoots and 30% lower in roots. The analysis of the individual growth and development parameters of S. polyrrhiza plants in the experiment carried out indicates new possibilities for the use of this group of plants in biofuel and bioethanol production.
