The interest in natural products, namely, bee products is actual nowadays. The Bee pollen is a rich source of nutrients and biologically active compounds with numerous biological activities such as antioxidant, antimicrobial, anticancer, anti-inflammatory, etc. The search for new plant raw as a source of natural products has a practical meaning. The goal of this study was to evaluate the biochemical composition of bee pollen and inflorescences of Phacelia tanacetifolia Benth. Grown in Slovakia. The plant raw material was collected from the experimental plots of Slovak Agricultural University in Nitra. There were conducted following biochemical analyses: dry matter, protein, ash, lipid, β-carotene, fatty acid, amino acid, and saccharide content. Ph. tanacetifolia bee pollen had 73.3% of dry matter, 27.44% of protein, 2.77% of ash, 5.35% of lipids, 3.0 mg.kg -1 of β-carotene, 32.2 g.100 g -1 of saturated fatty acids, 5.7 g.100 g -1 of monounsaturated fatty acids, and 55.7 g.100 g -1 of polyunsaturated fatty acids. The nutritional composition of Ph. tanacetifolia inflorescences was 91.05% of dry matter, 18.37% of protein, 15.49% of ash, 4.5% of lipids, 50.4 mg.kg -1 of β-carotene, 34.0 g.100 g -1 of saturated fatty acids, 8.8 g.100 g -1 of monounsaturated fatty acids, and 45.5 g.100 g -1 of polyunsaturated fatty acids. The prevailing amino acids investigated raw were glutamic, aspartic acid, proline, and leucine. The content of bee pollen fructose higher 44 times than inflorescences fructose. The content of maltose and lactose in both raw was less than 0.5 g.kg -1 . Among saturated fatty acids, the most prevailed for both bee pollen and inflorescences was palmitic acid (28.42 and 27.93 g.100 g -1 of fat, respectively), oleic acid (4.99 and 8.06 g.100 g -1 of fat, respectively) prevailed among monounsaturated fatty acids and linolenic acid (45.47 and 23.27 g.100 g -1 of fat, respectively) among polyunsaturated fatty acids. Bee pollen of investigated samples had the highest content of potassium (6239 mg.kg -1 ), phosphorus (6039 mg.kg -1 ), and sulfur (2403 mg.kg -1 ). The obtained data can be useful in the food industry and further pharmaceutical and apicultural research.

“…Triticale can be successfully treated with agrochemicals designed for use on wheat [7]. Integrated pest management measures, like crop rotations or the use of biological agents, which are capable of reducing the input of chemical compounds in food production, will be the preferable approach in the future [8,9], but synthetically produced herbicides continue to be the mainstay in traditional cropping systems [10]. The herbicide Serrate ® (Syngenta) is a wide-spectrum herbicide and is highly efficient for the control of compact brome, a weed that impacts cereal crops causing huge yield losses.…”

Widely used agrochemicals that do not exert negative effects on crops and selectively target weeds could influence plant resilience under unfavorable conditions. The cross-adaptation of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) and triticale (×Triticosecale Wittm.) exposed to two environmental abiotic stressors (drought and waterlogging) was evaluated after treatment with a selective herbicide (Serrate®, Syngenta). The ambivalent effects of the herbicide on the two studied crops were particularly distinct in waterlogged plants, showing a significant reduction in wheat growth and better performance of triticale individuals exposed to the same combined treatment. Histochemical staining for the detection of reactive oxygen species (ROS) confirmed that the herbicide treatment increased the accumulation of superoxide anion in the flooded wheat plants, and this effect persisted in the younger leaves of the recovered individuals. Comparative transcript profiling of ROS scavenging enzymes (superoxide dismutase, peroxidase, glutathione reductase, and catalase) in stressed and recovered plants revealed crop-specific variations resulting from the unfavorable water regimes in combination with the herbicide treatment. Short-term dehydration was relatively well tolerated by the hybrid crop triticale and this aligned with the considerable upregulation of genes for L-Proline biosynthesis. Its drought resilience was diminished by herbicide application, as evidenced by increased ROS accumulation after prolonged water deprivation.

Precision agriculture is about applying solutions that serve to obtain a high yield from the optimization of resources and the development of technologies based on the collection and use of precise data. Precision agriculture, including camera-guided row detection and hydraulic steering, is often used as an alternative because crop damage can be decreased and driving speed can be increased, comparable to herbicide applications. The effects of different approaches, such as uncontrolled (UC), mechanical weed control (MWC), herbicide weed control (HWC), and mechanical + herbicide control (MWC + HWC), on weed density and yield of sugar beet were tested and evaluated in two trials (2021 and 2022) in South Transylvania Depression at the tested intervals BBCH 19 and 31. Weed control efficacy (WCE) depends on the emergence of the weeds and a good timing of weed controls in all the trials and methods, though the highest yield of sugar beet roots was recorded in the treatment MWC + HWC, with an increase up to 12–15% (56.48 t ha−1) yield from HWC (50.22 t ha−1) and a yield increase of more than 35–40% than MWC (42.34 t ha−1). Our trials show that it is possible to increase yield and have fewer chemical applications with the introduction of new precision technologies in agriculture, including sensor-guided mechanical controls.
