CARABIDS AS INDICATORS OF SUSTAINABILITY IN ARABLE CROPS
Intensive agriculture and crop production lead to a significant decline in biological control agents, their abundance and diversity. Ground beetles are important in reducing populations of pests and weeds. They are often used in environmental research as biological indicators of different habitats. The aim of this research was to analyse biocenotic and

Rational potassium manuring for arable cropping systems
AbstractInterest in potassium (K) manuring has decreased in recent years because applying K leads to no environmental problems, few soils are K deficient and K is cheaper than N. However, fresh K optimises yields, especiatly with high‐yielding crops and through its interaction with N, and K residues benefit crops in a way that often cannot be offset by

Comparative analysis of humus balance under grain crops and perennial bean cultures of a farmland
The reduction of humus reserves, as one of the components of soil fertility, is influenced by the shortage of soil biomass on lands in agricultural use. The accumulation of humus reserves in the agrolandscape is a multifactorial process.

Possible changes to arable crop yields by 2050 [PDF]
By 2050, the world population is likely to be 9.1 billion, the CO 2 concentration 550 ppm, the ozone concentration 60 ppb and the climate warmer by ca 2°C. In these conditions, what contribution can increased crop yield make to feeding the world? CO
