Consumers are increasingly more interested in the issues associated with high-quality food (organic food); consequently, the number of organic farms and commercial establishments which off er organic products with quality certificates is growing. Podkarpackie voivodeship, thanks to certain advantages, is a favorable place for the development of organic farming. For the needs of this research, a survey was conducted in spring 2015 among 137 inhabitants of Rzeszów and the surrounding areas who declared to be consumers of organic food. An analysis of the results provides the conclusion that organic products are very positively evaluated by the respondents, since in their opinion they have a great impact on their health, which is the main reason for purchasing them. Sales and consumption growth of organic foods can be achieved by intensive advertising using the latest methods and techniques, as well as by educating society. These activities should be particularly targeted at the inhabitants of mediumsized towns, and a convincing argument should be made to draw attention to the ingredients in organic food.
The aim of the research paper was to present a character description of organic agricultural holdings and identify factors affecting profitability of these holdings basing on the opinions of farmers specializing in such production. The area analyzed in this research was the Podlaskie Voivodeship. In order to achieve the aim, various research methods were employed, such as the study of relevant literature opinion surveys conducted using a questionnaire directed to 101 organic farms (selected randomly ensuring representativeness of results) as well as means of descriptive statistics. The conducted research indicates that a typical organic farmer in the Podlaskie Voivodeship is 48 years old and has 16 years of experience in agricultural holding management. He is also well educated (44% have higher education) and possesses good knowledge about organic agriculture. Almost 80% of analyzed agricultural holdings have certificates, usually for several products. 51% produce mostly for their own needs, while production of only every third is for the most part dedicated to market purposes. In 55% of these holdings, production is oriented mostly towards plant production, whereas 35% is multidirectional. In the majority of farmers’ opinions, the economic situation of their holdings is comparable to that of conventional farms. Only every fifth farmer considers their situation to better. According to the respondents, subsidies from the European Union are among the most important factors determining profitability of organic agricultural production. The factors that affect profitability negatively, according to interviewed farmers, are: low sale prices, unfavorable climate conditions, high costs of obtaining certificates and overly extensive bureaucracy

The aim of this study is to present the role of fabaceae plants in ecological farms in Lubelskie Voivodeship. The study has been written based on the literature research on the subject, mandatory legal acts, statistical data on ecological farming. In the implementation of the environmental policy, Poland has adopted a sustainable and balanced development strategy, according to which the obligation to protect the environment is part of the proper farming (Jaśkiewicz 2008). A particular way of farming that is the most environmental friendly is ecological farming. Lublin Voivodeship has a special predisposition to the development of organic production (Kasztelan 2010). A valuable element of environmental friendly farming are Fabaceae plants. Their cultivation does not threaten the natural environment, as on Agrotechnik these plants consists of little treatments. Using plants Fabaceae with atmospheric nitrogen significantly reduces the fertilization component (Gaweł 2011). Despite the multiple benefits of growing Fabaceae plants, their share in the crop structure, however, is small.

With the rising awareness of the adverse effects of chemical pesticides, people are looking for organically grown vegetables. Consumers are increasingly choosing organic foods due to the perception that they are healthier than those conventionally grown. Vegetable crops are vulnerable to a range of pathogenic organisms that reduce yield by killing the plant or damaging the product, thus making it unmarketable. Soil-borne diseases are among the major factors contributing to low yields of organic produce. Apart from chemical pesticides there are several methods that can be used to protect crops from soil-borne pathogens. These include the introduction of biocontrol agents against soil-borne plant pathogens, plants with therapeutic effects and organic soil amendments that stimulate antagonistic activities of microorganisms to soil-borne diseases. The decomposition of organic matter in soil also results in the accumulation of specific compounds that may be antifungal or nematicidal. With the growing interest in organic vegetables, it is necessary to find non chemical means of plant disease control. This review describes the impact of soil-borne diseases on organic vegetables and methods used for their control.
Influence of lactation stage on selected blood parameters and biological value of cow milk during pasture season in organic system of production. The disproportion between the cow's genetically determined ability to produce milk and the limits to improving the energy value of feed may be the cause of the metabolic stress of animals kept at organic farms. Negative energy balance has a major impact on the body's hormonal balance and the function of the organs; it also affects the content of basic components (protein, fat and lactose) in cows' milk. The aim of the study was to investigate changes in the biological value of organic milk obtained from high producing dairy cows at different stages of lactation during pasture season. The study was carried out on 68 Polish Holstein-Friesian primiparous. 272 milk samples were collected from cows which were in one of the following phases: the beginning of lactation (BL): 5-30 days postpartum); peak of lactation (PL): 60-90 days postpartum; full lactation (FL): 120-150 days postpartum); end/final phase of lactation (EL): 250 days postpartum. Stage of lactation had an overriding effect on the majority of analyzed milk constituents including: whey proteins, vitamins soluble in fat, phospholipids and fatty acids. The highest levels of lactoferin were found at the beginning of lactation (BL). At the same time, the β-hydroxybutyrate (BHBA) concentration increased, which confirmed that the fast growing milk yield at the peak of lactation is linked to an increase in energy demand. The lowest alanine aminotransferase and non esterified fatty acids activity was measured during BL. The study has shown a significant influence of lactation stage on the biological value of organic milk obtained from high producing dairy cows during pasture season. In addition, there is evidence that the organic production system has no influence on the metabolic profile of cows as the plasma parameters were within their standard norms. This might be the result of the positive effect of grass antioxidants.
Due to progress of ecological farming the breeders and farmers need to know how to store ecological cereal seed material. Investigations on the seed storage value of ecological and conventional seeds were performed on naked and hulled oat during 5 years of storage in a granary and long-term store. There were analysed germination capacity, mean germination time, vigour by the growth test according to ISTA method and response to drought stress. It was found that germination capacity and vigour were lowest for the organic seeds of cv. Polar stored in a granary. In the hulled cv. Krezus degradation process was delayed. In case of long-term storage, seed value was retained irrespective of the cultivar or method of cultivation. The highest response to drought stress occurred in organic seeds of cv. Polar taken from a granary. The response to drought stress of the hulled cv. Krezus was lower irrespective of method of cultivation.
In recent years, biofertilisers have emerged as a promising component of an integrated nutrient supply system in agriculture. The objective of this study was to examine the influence of selected biofertilisers on the vegetative growth, the content of N, P2O5 and K2O in the leaves and stems, and on the physiological parameters of pepper of the variety of ‘Sofiiska Kapiya’ cultivated under organic agriculture conditions. This experiment was carried out from 2009 to 2011 on the experimental fields of the Agroecological Centre at the Agricultural University-Plovdiv (Bulgaria), situated on the territory of a certified ecological farm. The study included the following biofertilisers – Boneprot, Lumbrical, Baikal EM “Effective Microorganisms”, Emosan, and Bio One. The results of the biometric measurements of the average plant height at the end of the vegetative period showed the highest values for the variant treated with Emosan on the Boneprot basic fertilisation (62.60 cm – 2009; 64.80 cm – 2010, and 63.87 cm – 2011). Upon feeding with the biofertilisers Emosan and Baikal EM on basic fertilisation with Boneprot (2009, 2010 and 2011) at the pepper mass fruit yield stage, plants showed higher values of net photosynthesis (PN) that were also similar to the high values observed in the flower bud stage. The highest intensity of transpiration (ȿ) was observed for the variants treated with the biofertilisers Baikal EM (2009 and 2011) and Emosan (2010) on basic fertilisation with Boneprot. It was concluded that the feeding with Emosan stimulated the vegetative growth of the pepper plants due to the high concentrations of nutrient-providing proteins contained in this biofertiliser. The results showed that biofertilisers do not significantly impact the P content of the pepper leaves and stems, but changes were more obvious in the leaves. The fertilisation with the studied biofertilisers increased the K2O content in leaves and stems compared to the control (non-fertilised) plants; the values were higher for the leaves.
The experiment was conducted during two years (2008-2009) in Leškovice (the Czech Republic) on potato cv. 'Finka and Katka’ at 0.45 x 0.80 m spacing. In the experiment 2 types of mulch were used: textile mulch and grass mulch. The use of grass mulch decreased the attack of potato haulm by Phytophtora infestans by 8.2% as compared to the control variant (without mulch) and textile mulch decreased the late blight attack on tubers by 2.6% (as compared to the control variant). Grass mulch influenced the number and size of tubers, increasing the number and the weight of tubers of over 56 mm and on the other hand decreasing the weight of tubers of under 40 mm as compared to the control variant. The yield of ware potatoes was higher in the plots with mulches on the average in 2008-2009 (as compared to non-mulched control variant where the yield was higher by 6.0 t·ha⁻¹ in grass mulch and by 5.7 t·ha⁻¹ in textile mulch).
When growing wheat, one of the non-chemical methods of weed regulation is to choose wheat varieties which have a high ability to compete with weeds. The first aim of the research was the estimation of the relationships between the morphological features and canopy parameters of six spring wheat varieties. The second aim was the estimation of the varieties’ competitive ability against weeds. The third aim was the estimation of the grain yield of the six varieties. The experiment was carried out in the 2011–2013 time period, on fields which had been organically managed since 1994. Different features affected the weed infestation levels of the spring wheat varieties. For Bombona, negative correlations between the number of weeds and the height, dry matter of wheat, and wheat density, were proved. For Brawura, Hewilla, and Żura, the height, number of tillers, and dry matter of wheat were the main factors influencing weed abundance. A strong negative correlation between the number of weeds and the dry matter of wheat was found for Parabola. Cluster analysis indicated that Bombona and Brawura were the most competitive against weeds, while Monsun and Parabola were characterized as being the least competitive against weeds. Weed number significantly affected the grain yield of spring wheat (r = –0.418). The grain yield was positively correlated with the number of tillers (r = 0.459) and ears (r = 0.355), and the height (r = 0.534) and wheat dry matter (r = 0.411). Bombona and Brawura were the lowest yielding varieties (3.03 and 3.20 t ∙ ha–1, respectively), whereas the highest yield was achieved by Żura (3.82 t ∙ ha–1, on average).
In Poland in the year 2010, 518 527 hectares of agricultural land were managed organically. This study attempts to estimate the total non-monetary value of Polish organic production as a sum of its non-monetary external benefits and the external costs which were offset by the transition from conventional to organic production. The external costs of Polish conventional agriculture were also calculated and a comparison with existing available data from Germany, the UK and the USA was made.
The aim of the paper is to evaluate financial situation of organic farms in the Czech Republic. The financial state is evaluated according the most used and known financial indicators of profitability and stability. Organic farms are evaluated separately as corporations and individual entrepreneurs. The results show that the profitability of organic farmers is at good level, indebtedness is low and farms do create value for their owners.
