🚨 New Research Alert! 🚨

Title: Influence of phosphite and phosphate fertilizers at three different pH levels under floating system on the growth, yield, and nutrient concentration of broccoli

Authors: Amin Jahanian, Seyed Jalal Tabatabaei, Nosratollah Najafi, Martina Bučková, Farzad Rasouli, Jiří Mlček, Sezai Ercisli

Can phosphite replace phosphate in broccoli cultivation? 🥦 A new study in Horticultural Science explores how phosphite and phosphate fertilizers impact broccoli growth, yield, and nutrient balance under different pH levels in a floating system.

📉 Key finding: Phosphite alone reduces yield and causes phytotoxicity, but in combo with phosphate, it might still play a role.

Abstract: To better understand the influence of altitude on fruit characteristics of bog bilberry (Vaccinium uliginosum L.), here we investigated the adaptation of its fruit morphological and chemical traits to the environment at six growing positions along an altitudinal gradient (706, 957, 1 226, 1 315, 2 000 and 2 190 m) on the northern slope of Changbai Mountain, China.

Zpráva z workshopu „Piš a publikuj aneb Jak připravit rukopis pro vědecký časopis“

Dne 14. května 2025 se od 13:00 hodin konal online formou další z pravidelných workshopů „Piš a publikuj aneb Jak připravit rukopis pro vědecký časopis“, který pořádala Česká akademie zemědělských věd. Workshop byl určen pro začínající i zkušenější autory vědeckých článků. Cílem workshopu bylo informovat začínající i zkušené autory vědeckých článků o jednotlivých časopisech vydávaných ČAZV, o důležitých aspektech přípravy rukopisu před zasláním do redakce, o podmínkách a průběhu recenzního řízení a také o používaném redakčním systému. V neposlední řadě se také workshop zaměřil na etiku a citační normu. V rámci workshopu byl rovněž prostor na dotazy a diskuze.

Pozvánky na další workshopy, akce a aktuality ČAZV najdete na: https://www.cazv.cz

Kompletní informace o vydávaných časopisech ČAZV najdete na: www.agriculturejournals.cz

A fresh study from Horticultural Science explores the sequential and combined herbicide sprays for efficient w**d control—boosting fruit yield without compromising tomato quality or safety!

🔬 Researchers from Tamil Nadu Agricultural University tested glyphosate, pendimethalin, and metribuzin, finding a tank mix followed by glyphosate gave the highest w**d control efficiency (up to 91%) and yields up to 88.47 t/ha 🌿✨

✔️ Herbicide residues remained below safety thresholds
✔️ No residual phytotoxicity observed
✔️ Important implications for safe and effective w**d management in tomato farming
