Abstract
. There are increasing demands to increase the pro-ductivity of crops grown in unfavourable soil conditions. The ob-jective of this study was to evaluate the potential of biostimulants to improve soil properties and crop yields. A field experiment was conducted to assess the impact of Neosol (a soil activator), biostimulant Explorer (a rhizosphere activator) and AKEO (min - eral fertilizer activator, Olmix Group) on soil in terms of the yields of spring and winter wheat and winter rape. Numerous soil char - acteristics related to soil structure were evaluated at the 0-20 and 20-40 cm depth ranges e.g. bulk density, soil porosity, structural coefficient. The results show that the application of biostimulants has a positive effect on soil bulk density, porosity and the struc - tural coefficient. The biostimulants had a positive effect on the yields of crops.
期刊介绍:
The journal is focused on the soil-plant-atmosphere system. The journal publishes original research and review papers on any subject regarding soil, plant and atmosphere and the interface in between. Manuscripts on postharvest processing and quality of crops are also welcomed.
Particularly the journal is focused on the following areas:
implications of agricultural land use, soil management and climate change on production of biomass and renewable energy, soil structure, cycling of carbon, water, heat and nutrients, biota, greenhouse gases and environment,
soil-plant-atmosphere continuum and ways of its regulation to increase efficiency of water, energy and chemicals in agriculture,
postharvest management and processing of agricultural and horticultural products in relation to food quality and safety,
mathematical modeling of physical processes affecting environment quality, plant production and postharvest processing,
advances in sensors and communication devices to measure and collect information about physical conditions in agricultural and natural environments.
Papers accepted in the International Agrophysics should reveal substantial novelty and include thoughtful physical, biological and chemical interpretation and accurate description of the methods used.
All manuscripts are initially checked on topic suitability and linguistic quality.
