      The stability of soil aggregates is one of the most important characteristics of the soil affecting the overall soil quality and its health. In locality Březová nad Svitavou, experiment to reveal the effect of nitrogen ...

    • Effect of Legumes Intercropped with Maize on Biomass Yield and Subsequent Biogas Production 

      Kintl, Antonín; Huňady, Igor; Vítěz, Tomáš; Brtnický, Martin; Sobotková, Julie; Hammerschmiedt, Tereza; Vítězová, Monika; Holátko, Jiří; Smutný, Vladimír; Elbl, Jakub (MDPI AG (Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute-MDPI), 2023)
      The presented study deals with the use of legumes intercropped with maize for the production of biogas from silage. The main goal was to find out whether silages made from mixed cultures can be used in biogas production ...

    • Effect of Mycotoxins in Silage on Biogas Production 

      Kintl, Antonín; Vítěz, Tomáš; Huňady, Igor; Sobotková, Julie; Hammerschmiedt, Tereza; Vítězová, Monika; Brtnický, Martin; Holátko, Jiří; Elbl, Jakub (MDPI AG (Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute-MDPI), 2023)
      Mycotoxins can pose a threat to biogas production as they can contaminate the feedstock used in biogas production, such as agricultural crops and other organic materials. This research study evaluated the contents of ...

    • Potential effect of wetting agents added to agricultural sprays on the stability of soil aggregates 

      Kintl, Antonín; Vlček, Vítězslav; Brtnický, Martin; Nedělník, Jan; Elbl, Jakub (Copernicus GmbH, 2022)
      A potential effect of adjuvants/wetting agents added to the spray mixture on the water stability of soil aggregates (WSA) in agricultural soil was studied. Nine sites were chosen in the Czech Republic. Each site was mapped ...
