Project description:
The aim of the operation is to develop and implement an innovative technology to improve the quality of grain or seeds of at least one of the economically important crops, such as selected cereals, Fabaceae or rape. It is assumed that as a result of the introduction of this technology in the cultivation of the above mentioned plants, in grain or in seeds will increase their protein, methionine, or fat content. In the proposed cultivation technology, basalt dust enriched with sulfur in the form of granules called Basalt-S was planned to use.
First of all, the task of Bazalt-S, will be to improve the properties of soils, especially acidified and low-sulfur soils, which will have an impact on the stability and yield. Furthermore, it will allow to obtain products of much better quality compared to products previously obtained from poorly fertile soils in Poland and European countries with similar soil and climatic conditions.
