Anticarcinogenic effect of spices due to phenolic and flavonoid compounds-in vitro evaluation on prostate cells
(MDPI AG (Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute-MDPI), 2017)
This study shows the effects of spices, and their phenolic and flavonoid compounds, on prostate cell lines (PNT1A, 22RV1 and PC3). The results of an MTT assay on extracts from eight spices revealed the strongest inhibitory ...
Amalgam Electrode-Based Electrochemical Detector for On-Site Direct Determination of Cadmium(II) and Lead(II) from Soils
(MDPI AG (Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute-MDPI), 2017)
Toxic metal contamination of the environment is a global issue. In this paper, we present a low-cost and rapid production of amalgam electrodes used for determination of Cd(II) and Pb(II) in environmental samples (soils ...
Using UAV to Identify the Optimal Vegetation Index for Yield Prediction of Oil Seed Rape (Brassica napus L.) at the Flowering Stage
(MDPI AG (Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute-MDPI), 2022)
Suitability of the vegetation indices of normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI), blue normalized difference vegetation index (BNDVI), and normalized difference yellowness index (NDYI) obtained by means of UAV at the ...
Potential effect of wetting agents added to agricultural sprays on the stability of soil aggregates
(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 ...
Anaerobic Fermentation of Silage from the Above-Ground Biomass of Jerusalem Artichoke (Helianthus tuberosus L.) and Maize (Zea mayse L.) as a New and Promising Input Raw Material for Biogas Production
(MDPI AG (Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute-MDPI), 2022)
Research of new input raw materials for biogas plants is a very actual topic. There are only a very few studies dealing with the possibility of using silage prepared from the above-ground parts of the Jerusalem artichoke ...
Pre-activated biochar by fertilizers mitigates nutrient leaching and stimulates soil microbial activity
(Springer International Publishing AG, 2023)
Background: Previous studies have suggested that the targeted application of biochars in agricultural soils may benefit soil health and crop production. Physico-chemical properties of soils after biochar addition have been ...
The Role of Biochar Co-Pyrolyzed with Sawdust and Zeolite on Soil Microbiological and Physicochemical Attributes, Crop Agronomic, and Ecophysiological Performance
(Springer Switzerland, 2023)
The overuse of synthetic fertilizers has been associated with negative environmental consequences. The use of biochar in this regard has been recommended as a win-win strategy. However, our understanding on the comparative ...
Potential for the Accumulation of PTEs in the Biomass of Melilotus albus Med. Used for Biomethane Production
(MDPI AG (Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute-MDPI), 2023)
In this paper, a possible use of white sweet clover (Melilotus albus Med.) for phytoremediation was assessed. The plants were grown on soils with naturally occurring concentrations of potentially toxic elements (PTEs). ...
Waste sulfur from biogas desulphurization: a supplement of Brassica napus L. nutrition
(Taylor & Francis Inc., 2024)
The content of sulfur in soils has been declining. Possible option to supply sulfur into the soil can be utilization of waste sulfur from biogas production. Two pot experiments with identical treatments were established ...
Effect of Mycotoxins in Silage on Biogas Production
(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 ...
