Hlavné myšlienky (tézy) navrhovanej témy:
Cieľom dizertačnej práce bude skúmať ekofyziologické, produkčné a širšie ekosystémové vlastnosti medziplodín testovaných v zmesi pre potreby regeneratívneho (prechodného) poľnohospodárstva v podmienkach rôznej vodnej zabezpečenosti (rainfed systém a systém pod závlahou) a pri rôznych systémoch obrábania pôdy (tzv. mean till a no till). Úloha medziplodín v osevných postupoch je nedoceniteľná, zahŕňajúca zlepšenie štruktúry pôdy, zvýšenie obsahu organického C, tým aj mikrobiálneho života a retencie vody a minerálnych živín v pôdnom profile, až po zvýšenie produktivity nielen samotných medziplodín, ale aj následných plodín pestovaných v rámci nastavených osevných postupov. V súčasnej dobe je ich pestovanie nevyhnutné a odporúčané o to viac, že pestovateľské oblasti s konvenčným spôsobom hospodárenia na pôde, ktorých je, mimochodom, stále u nás väčšina, sú dlhodobo neudržateľné a sú vystavené nepriaznivým environmentálnych podmienkach (dlhodobé sucho, erózia vodná a veterná, silná radiácia a vysoká teplota pôdy a porastov, ochudobňovanie o živiny, únava pôdy a pod.). Medziplodiny pri ich správnom zostavení do zmesí môžu svojimi vlastnosťami a správaním v porastoch pomôcť zintenzívniť biologické regeneratívne procesy v pôde a stabilizovať produkčnú výkonnosť plodín (produkciu biomasy samotných medziplodín i následných plodín) v rámci osevných postupov v podmienkach (nielen) regeneratívneho poľnohospodárstva.
Main ideas of the proposed dissertation topic:
The aim of the dissertation will be to investigate the ecophysiological, production and wider ecosystem properties of intercrops tested in a mixture for the needs of regenerative (transitional) agriculture in conditions of different water security (rainfed system and system under irrigation) and with different tillage systems (so-called mintill and notill). The role of intercrops in cropping practices is valuable, including the improvement of soil structure, increase of organic C content, thereby microbial life and the retention of water and mineral nutrients in the soil profile, up to the increase in productivity not only of the intercrops themselves, but also of subsequent crops grown within the set cropping practices. Currently, their cultivation is necessary and recommended all the more because the growing areas with conventional land management methods, which, by the way, are still the majority in our country, are unsustainable in the long term and are exposed to adverse environmental conditions (long-term drought, water and wind erosion, strong radiation and high temperature of soil and vegetation, depletion of nutrients, soil fatigue, etc.). Intercrops, when correctly assembled into mixtures, can help intensify biological regenerative processes in the soil and stabilize the production performance of crops (biomass production of the intercrops themselves and subsequent crops) within the framework of sowing procedures in the conditions of (not only) regenerative agriculture.
