“…The location of the experiment station is determined by the latitude (51°21ʹ8ʺ N) and longitude (21°40ʹ8ʺ E); the lowland climate of moderate latitudes. The experiment was established in 1980 by the Department of Plant Nutrition and Fertilization, the Institute of Soil Science and Plant Cultivation in Puławy, on the soil typical of Poland, classified as light loamy and sand texture (Haplic Luvisol, LVha) according to FAO soil classification (Rutkowska, Pikuła, 2013).…”

“…Over the last ten years in the countries of the European Union there has been observed a loss of soil organic matter by abandoning the use of natural or organic fertilisation for the benefit of mineral fertilisers (Rutkowska, Pikuła, 2013). The adequate cultivation and plant fertilisation affect the physicochemical properties even at greater depths as well as the yield size (Zhu et al, 2007).…”

The aim of the paper was to determine the effect of crop rotation and different fertilisation with manure and nitrogen on the content of phosphorus and sulphur against the activity of phosphatase and arylsulphatase. The soil was sampled from a long-term field experiment carried out in a three-factor design, which covered two crop rotation types (A -enriching and B -depleting the soil from organic matter), manure fertilisation (0, 20 and 60 t ha -1 ) and nitrogen fertilisation (N 0 , N 1 and N 2 ). The experiment was performed on a Haplic Luvisol (LVha). The soil was sampled in each year during a 4-year (2009-2012) rotation. There was found a significant effect of the experiment factors on the content of available forms of the elements. According to the criteria provided for in Chemical and Agricultural analysis -determination of the content of available phosphorus in mineral soils (PN-R-04023:1996) the soil represented the second highest class of richness with available phosphorus. The activity of the hydrolytic enzymes depended both on the application of manure and ammonium nitrate. The synthesis of the results demonstrated a significant effect of the type of the crop rotation on the content of total organic carbon, total nitrogen, available phosphorus and sulphur considering a selected hydrolases activity. Growing crops in a crop rotation enriching the soil with organic matter increased the richness of the soil with available forms of phosphorus and sulphur and increased the activity of acid phosphatase and arylsulphatase.

“…It is well known that different crop rotations influence not only crop yield but also many soil characteristics, such as SOC content (Powlson et al, 2011, Rutkowska andPikuła, 2013). Moreover, the content of SOC can vary depending on soil texture and land use.…”

G. Debaene, D. Pikuła, and J. Niedźwiecki. 2014. Use of VIS-NIRS for land management classification with a support vector machine and prediction of soil organic carbon and other soil properties. Cien. Inv. Agr. 41(1): 21-32. The objective of this research was to investigate the effects of a long-term experiment on soil spectral properties and to develop prediction models of these properties (soil organic carbon (SOC), N, pH, Hh, P 2 O 5 , K 2 O, Ca, Mg, K, and Na content) from texturally homogeneous samples (loamy sand). To this aim, chemometric techniques, such as partial least square (PLS) regression and support vector machine (SVM) classification, were used. Our results show that visible and near infrared spectroscopy (VIS-NIRS) is suitable for the prediction of properties of texturally homogeneous samples. The effects of fertilizer applications were sufficient to modify the soil chemical composition to a range suitable for using VIS-NIRS for calibration and modeling purposes. The best results were obtained for SOC and N content prediction using the full dataset with cross-validation (r 2 = 0.76, RMSECV = 0.04, RPD = 2.02 and r 2 = 0.81, RMSECV = 0.01, RPD = 2.20, respectively) and with an independent validation dataset (r 2 = 0.70, RMSEP = 0.04, RPD = 1.80 and r 2 = 0.73, RMSEP = 0.03, RPD = 1.22, for SOC and N content, respectively). The use of fertilizers and the type of crop rotation appear to have a significant impact on soil spectral properties; the SVM methodology with a linear kernel function was able to classify soil samples as functions of the applied doses of organic and inorganic fertilizers with 75% accuracy with cross-validation and the type of crop rotation with more than 90% accuracy with full validation of separate datasets.

“…Apart from its positive effect on soil fertility, numerous authors mention several other advantages, e.g. improvement of sorption and buffering properties, water capacity of soil and resistance to degradation (Rutkowska and Piku³a 2013, Piku³a 2015, Szopka et al 2016. Moreover, organic matter is a structure forming material rich in macro-and micronutrients, which is a valuable source of food for a wide spectrum of beneficial soil microorganisms (Thangarajan et al 2013).…”

Abstract:The aim of this study was to assess the effect of straw of two spring wheat cultivars, Tybalt -with the culm filled with pith, and Ostka Smolicka -with the hollow culm, added to light textured soil, on the mineralisation rate of organic matter. The incubation experiment was established under laboratory conditions and comprised three experimental combinations: K1 was soil with an addition of pith-filled culms, K2 -soil with an addition of straw with hollow culms, and K0 -the control with no straw added. In all the combinations, mineral fertilisation was applied in the form of urea. Incubation lasted for 14 months. At specific dates the amounts of CO 2 released within 24 h and pH values were recorded. The rate of organic matter mineralisation was expressed in mg CO 2 ⋅d -1 . Analyses showed that the addition of straw, both with pith-filled and hollow culms, significantly influenced the mineralisation of organic matter in the first months of incubation. Mineralisation was most intensive in the soil incubated with straw with hollow culms. The large amount of released carbon dioxide in the first days of incubation caused a decrease in pH both in the control soil and in soils with the addition of straw. The change in the soil reaction to its initial value was recorded at day 222 for the soil combination K0 and at day 250 of incubation in soils fertilised with straw.
