The purpose of the operation: Elaboration of improved technology of soybean, pea and faba bean production by streamlining the process of biological reduction of atmospheric nitrogen in effect of use of innovative preparation increases the exchange of information signal between symbiotic bacteria and legumes. Tasks complete in the range of the operation: In the range of implementation mentioned above objective, strictly according to elaborated instructions, on the field of 12 farmers, Agricultural Advisory Center in Końskowola (LODR) and Institute of Soil Science and Plant Cultivation – State Research Institute (IUNG-PIB) the following field experiments will be conducted: 1. Improving the size and quality of the faba bean seeds yield by the use, in the form of mortar, the innovative preparation improving the symbiotic fixation of atmospheric nitrogen. 2. Improving the size and quality of the faba bean seeds yield by the use, in the form of spray, the innovative preparation impr

Production: 1. The increase of yielding level, improvement of seed fodder quality ( greater content of protein and improvement of amino acid composition), sowing quality ( better germination capacity in effect of better forming of seeds in the pod – greater seeds , better germination and higher yields). 2. Increasing of commodity value (better sale of proper developed seeds). Environmental: 1. The lack of necessity or use of only small (started) doses of mineral nitrogen fertilization in effect of provide conditions to proper fixation of atmospheric nitrogen. In effect of these actions an environment will not be polluted with chemical substances and leaching of N will be reduced. Symbiotically fixed N does not burden the environment as mineral nitrogen introduced to the soil because it is characterized with greater resistance to leaching in the deeper layers of soil profile. 2. Improving the symbiotic nitrogen fixation improves chemical, physical and microbiological properties of soil. 3. This action lowers also effect of agriculture on climatic changes. Replacing mineral fertilizers by “biological” nitrogen limits emission of CO2 to the atmosphere. 4. Thanks to ability to biological reduction of atmospheric nitrogen legume plants not only supplying themselves with nitrogen but leave considerably its amounts to further plants. Therefore plants cultivated after them need lower nitrogen fertilization. Economic: 1. Enlargement of seed yield will improve profitability of production mentioned above legume plants. 2. Leaving in the soil greater amount of fixed biologically nitrogen lowers doses of fertilization for successive plants ( most frequently cereals). Bearing in mind high and constantly rising prices of nitrogen fertilizers, this action will greatly reduce the costs of these plants cultivation.
