The study evaluated three biotypes of cherry silverberry (obtained from the Institute for Fruit Growing in Samokhvalovitchy in Belarus) for cultivation under the conditions of north-eastern Poland in comparison to the form reproduced and cultivated at the University of Warmia and Mazury in Olsztyn. It was demonstrated that the natural conditions of Olsztyn permit cultivation of the examined cherry...
Due to the wealth of nutrients contained in the sea buckthorn (Hippophae rhamnoides L.) fruit, it is a raw material attracting increasing interest from the food and pharmaceutical industries. Sea buckthorn is also a plant with low soil requirements while being drought-resistant. Therefore, it may offer an alternative to farmers who have either soils poor in minerals or degraded land in need of soil...
The paper presents the research results on the relation between the contents of total zinc and its bioavailable form (Zn) and physicochemical properties of soil carried out along three catenas in the postglacial valley of the middle Łyna River, in NE Poland. We focused on topographical factors to determine the amount of Zn in the soil in relation to specific geochemical landscape types. The analyzed...
Short rotation woody crops are grown to be used as feedstock for energy and industrial purposes in many countries of Europe, and in the USA and Canada. Wood biomass is acquired from forests, the wood industry, and as a by-product of trimming trees and bushes. In future, considerable amounts of wood biomass should be supplied by dedicated energy crops (willow, poplar, black locust). The aim of this...
Actinidia arguta and Actinidia purpurea are fruit-bearing vines that have been gaining increased recognition among consumers who expect tasty, natural food produced in an unpolluted environment. The berries of these plants, known as Chinese gooseberries, are smaller than the well-known kiwi fruit, have smooth skin and contain many valuable bioactive substances. The quality of food quality can be characterized,...
In order to ensure consistent supplies of agriculture-derived lignocellulosic biomass for the emerging biomass market, dedicated plantations of short rotation woody crops (SRWC) need to be developed. Our research aimed at defining the yield, survivability, and morphological features of three plant species (SRWC) cultivated under the conditions of northeastern Poland, on poor soil unsuitable for food...
Actinidia arguta and Actinidia purpurea provide tasty and nutritionally valuable fruit that are edible directly or after processing, without peeling. The aim of the study was to determine the content of macro- and microelements in the fruit of three Ukrainian hybrid cultivars of Actinidia arguta × Actinidia purpurea: ‘Figurnaja,’ ‘Kijewskaja Gibrydnaja,’ ‘Kijewskaja Krupnopłodnaja,’ Actinidia arguta:...
Actinidia arguta and Actinidia purpurea and their hybrid cultivars are species which bear valuable fruits due to their content of valuable bioactive substances and good sensory qualities. This paper presents the yield results from the cultivars’ initial 10 years (2000–2009) as well as the morphology and chemical composition of the fruits of some Ukrainian hybrid cultivars of Actinidia arguta and Actinidia...
