“…The TAC of amaranth depended on the plant variety (“Rawa” and “Aztek”) and on the doses of the NPK fertilizer; dependencies between TAC of the soils and leaves and the levels of NPK, as well as between the TAC of the soil and of amaranth leaves were shown by the statistical data analysis (Skwaryło‐Bednarz and Krzepiłko ).…”

A few decades ago Amaranthus was rediscovered as a most promising plant genus that may provide high-quality protein, unsaturated oil, and various other valuable constituents. Since then research has focused on various Amaranthus spp. and has been rapidly expanding, and a large number of reports have been published. Several review articles focusing on different aspects, such as botanical, agrotechnological, compositional, biological, chemical, and technological properties, as well as applications and health effects, have also been published since then. This comprehensive review is focused on amaranth composition, antioxidant properties, applications, and processing. The composition includes macrocomponets (lipids, proteins, carbohydrates, and dietary fiber) and other important constituents, such as squalene, tocopherols, phenolic compounds, phytates, and vitamins. These aspects of amaranth studies have not been comprehensively reviewed for a long time.

“…Plants significantly contribute and mediate C translocation belowground, via the roots and into the rhizosphere (Lakshmanan et al, 2014). This introduction can influence soil heterotrophic respiration, microbial community composition and activity (Hinsinger et al, 2009;Ai et al, 2013;Skwarylo-Bednarz and Krzepilko, 2013;Nie et al, 2014). By sampling at two proximities away from the root system of spring wheat, the ability of the rhizosphere to shape bacterial communities was assessed.…”

An Assessment of Climate Induced Increase in Soil Water Availability for Soil Bacterial Communities Exposed to Long-Term Differential Phosphorus Fertilization

The fate of future food productivity depends primarily upon the health of soil used for cultivation. For Atlantic Europe, increased precipitation is predicted during both winter and summer months. Interactions between climate change and the fertilization of land used for agriculture are therefore vital to understand. This is particularly relevant for inorganic phosphorus (P) fertilization, which already suffers from resource and sustainability issues. The soil microbiota are a key indicator of soil health and their functioning is critical to plant productivity, playing an important role in nutrient acquisition, particularly when plant available nutrients are limited. A multifactorial, mesocosm study was established to assess the effects of increased soil water availability and inorganic P fertilization, on spring wheat biomass, soil enzymatic activity (dehydrogenase and acid phosphomonoesterase) and soil bacterial community assemblages. Our results highlight the significance of the spring wheat rhizosphere in shaping soil bacterial community assemblages and specific taxa under a moderate soil water content (60%), which was diminished under a higher level of soil water availability (80%). In addition, an interaction between soil water availability and plant presence overrode a long-term bacterial sensitivity to inorganic P fertilization. Together this may have implications for developing sustainable P mobilization through the use of the soil microbiota in future. Spring wheat biomass grown under the higher soil water regime (80%) was reduced compared to the constant water regime (60%) and a reduction in yield could be exacerbated in the future when grown in cultivated soil that have been fertilized with inorganic P. The potential feedback mechanisms for this need now need exploration to understand how future management of crop productivity may be impacted.

“…Hence, the type of aboveground vegetation and its cultivation practices undoubtedly play an important role in modeling soil biological features. It should be noted that not all plant species exert positive influence on the growth, abundance and activity of soil microflora [Skwaryło-Bednarz 2008]. On the contrary, numerous scientific studies have confirmed that certain plant species may have a negative effect on soil microorganisms through their root exudates.…”

“…The seeds turned out to be of high nutritional value [Skwaryło-Bednarz et al 2020]. Several literature reports concerning the influence of amaranth on the activity of soil microflora have demonstrated that this plant has stimulating properties [Skwaryło-Bednarz 2008], probably due to the amaranth cultivation practices, not requiring chemical protection methods. It is possible due to the soil and climatic conditions of Poland, particularly unfavorable for the spread of amaranth -specific phytopatogens, which results in the absence of pest colonization [Skwaryło-Bednarz and Nalborczyk 2006].…”

The aim of the study was to determine the influence of habitat, cultivar and developmental growth stage on catalase activity in soil under two amaranth cultivars – Rawa (Amaranthus cruentus L.) and Aztek (Amaranthus hypochondriacus × Amaranthus hybridus L.). In a 3-year field experiment (2013–2015), amaranth’s plants were grown in a wide-row spacing on the soil of the good wheat complex in south-eastern Poland (50°71'N, 23°04'E). The field experiment included 4 variable factors: weather conditions; selected amaranth growth stages (5-leaf, full flowering and seed maturity stages); NPK dose combinations (I: 40 kg N ∙ ha–1, 30 kg P ∙ ha–1, 30 kg K ∙ ha–1; II: 60 kg N ∙ ha–1, 40 kg P ∙ ha–1, 40 kg K ∙ ha–1; III: 80 kg N ∙ ha–1, 50 kg P ∙ ha–1, 50 kg K ∙ ha–1; IV: 120 kg N ∙ ha–1, 70 kg P ∙ ha–1, 70 kg K ∙ ha–1) and two cultivars (‘Rawa’ and ‘Aztek’). No pesticides are applied in the cultivation due to the absence of pathogens and pests of this plant in Poland. Plant protection was limited to reducing weed infestation twice. The conducted research showed that weather conditions were the main factor affecting catalase activity in the soil under amaranth cultivation, followed by other factors, such as fertilization, cultivar and growth stage. All the analyzed factors proved to exert a significant impact on organic matter content in the soil, while only the applied NPK fertilization had effect on sorption capacity. Moreover, it was found that the cv. Aztek positively influenced the activity of catalase and humus accumulation in the soil in comparison to the cv. Rawa. The beneficial effect of amaranth on the soil environment and its enzymatic activity was ascribed to the lack of introduced pesticides.
