“…The pH of the soil significantly affects the balance and availability of macroelements for plants. All species studied have the best yields when grown on soil with a neutral, alkaline pH, which corresponds to our soil (Jaroszewska et al, 2019;Farooq et al, 2016;Jäger, 2016).…”

Pseudocereals, with their irreplaceable nutritional composition and amounts of bioactive substances with a positive effect on human health, are becoming a trend in human nutrition. In this work, we compared the safety of individual types of pseudocereals, namely buckwheat (Fagopyrum esculentum, var. Zita), quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa, var. Carmen), amaranth (Amaranthus cruentus, var. Pribina), and sorghum (Sorghum bicolor, var. Ruzrok) in terms of the content of hazardous metals. We assessed the ability of individual species of pseudocereals to accumulate hazardous metals from the soil in the consumable parts of the plant. The ability of heavy metals to accumulate was calculated using a bioaccumulation factor. We also evaluated the influence of the content of selected hazardous metals on the antioxidant capacity of grains of individual types of pseudocereals. We determined the total polyphenol content and the total antioxidant content using the DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) radical spectrophotometrically. We determined the content of hazardous metals by the AAS method (Atomic Absorption Spectrometry). In the soil from all plots with cultivated species of pseudocereals, we recorded an increased content of Cd, Pb, Co in comparison with the limit value set by Law no. 220/2004. The content of risk elements was not exceeded in the consumption parts of plants and the content of Cd and Pb was below the detection limit. From a safety point of view, it is possible to prefer the Chenopodium quinoa, which had the lowest content of heavy metals in the grains. Buckwheat follow, and at about the same level are amaranth and sorghum bicolor. The safest or the most resistant plant species with the lowest ability to accumulate hazardous metals from soil to grains, from the group of crops we monitor, is the Chenopodium quinoa.

“…Increased yields were recorded for rye: Dańkowskie Złote (by 40%), and for triticale: Grenado (6%) and Moderato (44%). In a study involving buckwheat and millet, no clear influence of effective microorganisms was observed, but the same had a positive effect on the quality of soil [Jaroszewska et al 2019]. In a study involving a three-year application of an EM preparation, increased content of phosphorus and potassium in the soil was reported [Radkowski and Radkowska 2018].…”

The study pertained to environmentally-friendly methods in the cultivation of cereal, and aimed to manage the quality of rye and triticale seeds and determine the impact of seed conditioning using effective microorganisms (EM), red light (RL), and a combination of the two (RL × EM) on the yield of grain and straw. Moreover, the seeds were sown into soil with and without EM conditioning, designated as 0 and PEM. The yield fluctuations depended mostly on the studied rye and triticale cultivars. The best effects we observed in soil without EM conditioning for Dańkowskie Złote rye and Moderato triticale. The increase in grain and straw yields was, respectively: 26% (RL), 31% (RL × EM), 40% (EM), and 17% (RL × EM), 23% (RL), 32% (EM) – Dańkowskie Złote, 27% (RL × EM), 44% (EM), 46% (RL), and 17% (RL × EM), 51% (EM), 78% (RL) – Moderato. In turn, seeds exposed to the experimental treatment and sown into soil containing EM produced reduced yields in both of the above cultivars. It is noteworthy that the conditioning methods employed in the field experiment can facilitate increased yields but most importantly contribute to the resilience of agrosystems and can therefore have environmental benefits.

“…Buckwheat groats (Fagopyrum esculentum Moench) are an excellent source of nutrients, as they contain high levels of essential amino acids, minerals, and B vitamins compared to other cereals (Linh et al, 2014). Microorganisms and trace elements effectively affect the yield of buckwheat (Jaroszewska et al, 2019).…”

A significant problem in the cultivation of buckwheat is its low yield, therefore, it is relevant to improve the elements of the technology for growing this crop. The purpose of the study was to establish optimal norms and terms for applying mineral fertilisers and foliar dressing with chelated microfertilisers in the forest-steppe conditions of Western Ukraine, in a zone of sufficient moisture to obtain stable and high yields of buckwheat grain. For this purpose, a two-factor experiment was conducted on the experimental fields of the Lviv National Agrarian University on dark grey podzolized light loamy soil, which included fertiliser rates: N20P20K20, P20K20+N20 (foliar dressing), N40P40K40, P40K40+N40 (foliar dressing), N60P60K60, P60K60+N60 (foliar dressing) and foliar dressing: control (without foliar dressing), Vuksal Boron 2.0 l/ha, Intermag Legumes 2.0 l/ha. Research methods: field studies – to determine the interaction of the object of research with weather factors and elements of the fertiliser system; calculation and weight – setting parameters of crop structure indicators and determining buckwheat yield; methods of mathematical statistics – dispersion, correlation, regressive and graphical display of findings. An increase in fertiliser rates from N20P20K20 to N60P60K60 provided an increase in all indicators of the buckwheat crop structure. Without foliar dressing, they reached the following values: the number of first-order branches – 1.56 pcs./plant, the number of inflorescences and flowers – 10.68 and 1,011 pcs, respectively, the number of full-size and undeveloped grains (pcs./plant) – 41.23 and 11.37, the weight of full-size grains – 1.15 g and the weight of 1,000 grains – 28.00 g. The introduction of nitrogen fertilisers in foliar dressing (at the beginning of flowering) has significant advantages over the introduction of nitrogen for pre-sowing cultivation. One of the proofs of this assumption is the increase in the number of grains, their weight, and the weight of 1,000 grains, respectively, from 35.43 pcs., 0.97 g, and 27.37 g (variant with N40P40K40) up to 37.27 pcs., 1.03 g, 27.80 g (variant with P40K40+N40). This trend is typical for all experiment designs. A positive effect of foliar dressing with microfertilisers on the elements of the crop structure was observed. The use of Vuksal Boron 2 l/ha was more effective. The maximum weight of full-size grains was in the variant P60K60+N60 (foliar dressing) + Vuksal Boron 2 l/ha – 1.21 g, while the use of Intermag Legumes 2 l/ha on a similar background of mineral fertilisers provided this indicator at the level of 1.17 g. Studies have established the positive effect of nitrogen application by foliar dressing during the beginning of flowering on the yield level, and buckwheat yield also increased with an increase in the rate of mineral fertiliser application from N20P20K20 to N60P60K60 and under the influence of foliar dressing with microfertilisers. The maximum yield indicator on average for three years of research is obtained in variant P60K60+N60 (foliar dressing) + Vuksal Boron 2.0 l/ha – 2.64 t/ha
