Main characteristic composition of some ground and artesian waters in the south between Danube-Tisza Region of Hungary

The use of waters from different origin is essential in the cultivation in the Danube-Tisza Interfluve, so the quality of irrigation water should be far considered. In our study we represent the results of the investigation of surface, ground and deeper artesian water samples originated from the Danube-Tisza Interfluve. Based on the depth of the samples we made three categories. Water samples were collected and analyzed in the laboratory of Faculty of Horticulture (Kecskemét College). High EC and iron content seemed to be a potential source of problems during irrigation. Main cations shown in the samples were calcium and sodium, followed by magnesium whereas potassium was the lowest macro cation. Among the accompanying anions, hydrogen carbonate content was the highest in most samples, followed by chloride. Ion content (EC) decreased with depth significantly, and was strongly and positively related with Mg2+, Na+, K+, NO3-, Cl- and HCO3- ions. The concentration of ions containing nitrogen or phosphor were low in usual. Phosphate content was related only with arsenic content

Nutrient content of fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum L.) on the effect of different fertilization treatments

Fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum L.) belonging to the legumes (Fabaceae) family is an annual plant. The plant is of Mediterranean origin, native to the Mediterranean coast. A multi- use plant that is used as a herb, spice and fodder plant. Fenugreek has high protein content and is well suited for feeding domestic and wild animals. Our open-field experiment was set up at the beginning of April 2018 in John von Neumann University, Faculty of Horticulture and Rural Development, Kecskemét, Hungary. The experiment was set with different magnesium fertilization treatments (Treatment 1 = 150 kg Ha", Treatment 2 = 300 kg Ha", Treatment 3 = 450 kg Ha‘). The aim of the treatments is to show how macro element (nitrogen, magnesium, calcium, potassium and phosphorus) values (m/m% dry matter) of the stem and leaves are changing

Changes in the fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum L.) yield on the effect of different dose fertilizer treatments

Fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum L.) belonging to the legumes (Fabaceae) family is an annual plant. The plant is of Mediterranean origin, native to the Mediterranean coast. It is a multi-use plant that is used as a herb, spice and fodder plant. Fenugreek has high protein content and is well suited for feeding domestic and wild animals. Our open-field experiment was set up at the beginning of April 2018 in the John von Neumann University, Faculty of Horticulture and Rural Development, Kecskemét, Hungary. The aim of the fertilizer treatments was to show how nutritional values of the stem and leaves are changing. The treatments were: Treatment 1 = 150 kg Ha", Treatment 2 = 300 kg Ha", Treatment 3 = 450 kg Ha complex fertilizer. The treatments were carried out in plots of 50-50 m*. In the experiment, different nutrient supply treatments were set up to achieve the highest fresh biomass weight. The fertilizer used in the research was Novatec premium (15 N - 3 P2Os - 20 K20 - 2 MgO). When measuring fresh weight of fenugreek, the highest value was measured after 300 kg Ha" treatment (14.45 kg). The values of treatment 1 (7.8 kg) and treatment 3 (8.5 kg) were almost the same. The highest dose of treatment (450 kg Ha‘) resulted a decrease in the yield of T. foenum-graecum in our experiment

Gyógynövények alkalmazása a vidék fenntarthatóságában

Az Észak- Amerikában honos indián dohány (Lobelia inflata L.) egy honosíthatónak bizonyuló, többoldalúan hasznosítható gyógynövény. Főalkaloidja a lobelin, melynek a légzőközpontra serkentő hatása van, gáz- és narkotikummérgezés esetén használják. Dohányzás elleni készítményekben is alkalmazzák. A Lobeliae herba-t és Tinctura Lobeliae-t több gyógyszerkönyv is hivatalossá tette. Szaporítása generatív módon, üvegházi magyetést követő palántaneveléssel történhet. Egy másik növény, az Euphorbia lagascae Spreng. egy hazánkban kevéssé ismert, potenciális új olajnövény. Az E. lagascae Spreng. egy egyéves kutyatej féle, mely Délkelet-Spanyolországban és Szardínián őshonos. A faj magjának mintegy 48-5296 olajtartalmára jellemző, hogy 58-6294-ban értékes vernolsavat tartalmaz. A vernolsav a vegyipar területén széleskörű hasznosítási lehetőségekkel rendelkezik. Kísérletünk célja, hogy a Lobelia inflata és az Euphorbia lagascae üvegházi körülmények között nevelt, illetve a májusban szabadföldbe vetett növények növekedésének és fejlődésének megfigyelése, a különbségek számszerűsítése voltak. Előzetes vizsgálataink szerint a növények a hazai ökológiai viszonyokat is jól elviselik

Homoki szőlőültetvény gyomflórája = Weed vegetation of a vineyard on sandy

Homoki szőlőültetvényekben különösen veszélyes konkurenciát jelentenek a gyomnövények a szőlőnek. Vizet és tápanyagokat vonnak el a kultúrnövénytől, valamint árnyékolhatnak is. A Kecskeméti Főiskola Kertészeti Főiskolai Kara bemutatókerti szőlőültetvényben végeztünk gyomfelvételezéseket. A felvételezések 5 x 2 m-es parcellákon történtek. Négyféle gyomtársulást találtunk: 1. királydinnyés, 2. kövérporcsinos, 3. disznóparéjos-libatopos, 4. aprószulákos

Investigation of the relationship between soil organic matter and magnesium content

In our present study we show the results of the analysis of a large number of soil samples, processed in our accredited laboratory. Some of the physical and chemical properties of the soil and the possible relationships among them were also followed. The average organic matter content was in the low range but showed a significant variance. The results of our present preliminary procession confirm that organic matter content can highly influence nutrient — and in this way - easily absorbable magnesium content of the soil. Soil samples derived mainly from the Southern part of the Great Plain. Our results, based on the analysis of thousands of soil samples, also suggest, that organic fertilization and / or recycling of the organic matter is extremely important in the sandy soils, typical in our area, as it can have very beneficial effect on the fertility and the nutrient content of the soils and thus on the development of the cultivated crops
