Nitrogen is the basic element directly affecting plant yielding. This causes that it is widely used as a component of mineral fertilizers. With increased doses of mineral nitrogen, only a certain part of it is used by pl...
The identification and quantification of factors determining soil compaction caused by single agricultural tyres on a field
In field research, the influence of factors determining soil compaction in an arable layer caused by agricultural tyres during the first pass was determined. The factors were the following: a normal load of tyres resulti...
Maturity classification for composted sewage sludge and rapeseed straw mixture based on neural analysis of images acquired in UV-A light
Composting is one of the most efficient ways of managing municipal sewage sludge. Recently, due to the increased demand for composting, the issue of conducting this process in cost effective way is of particular importan...
Properties comparison of vegetable oils as lubricants
The analysis of the properties of vegetable oils used in tribology as lubricants is presented. Oil-based lubricants, which get into the natural environment during exploitation, have a destructive effect on living organis...
The effect of liquid filtering parameters on insecticidal nematodes survival (viability) – biological plant protection product
The described research dealt with the viability of insecticidal nematodes contained in the spray liquid flowing through filters used in spraying machines. Steinernema feltiae entomopathogenic nematodes were used in the r...
