ABSTRACT
A three-year field experiment was set up in the experimental facility of the University of Natural Sciences and Humanities in Siedlce (52°12'N, 22°28'E) in the autumn of 2011. It was carried out in a split-plot design, in three replicates, with plots of 3 m2 as experimental units. The purpose of the research was to examine whether soil conditioners (UGmax, Eko-Użyźniacz, Humus Active Papka) available on the market and used in farming substantially increase the yield of dry matter, together with total protein and soluble carbohydrate content, in selected grass species (Dactylis glomerata L., Lolium perenne L.). Out of all treatments, UGmax with mineral fertilisation increased the yield of dry matter, total protein, and soluble carbohydrates to the highest level. The soil conditioners applied in the experiment positively affected the content of nutrients, which could have contributed to an increase in forage intake by animals. These results confirm the advantages of their use in organic farming, creating the possibility of a partial reduction of mineral fertilisers use.

Trzyletnie doświadczenie polowe założono jesienią 2011 roku na terenie obiektu doświadczalnego (52°12'N, 22°28'E) należącego do Uniwersytetu Przyrodniczo-Humanistycznego w Siedlcach. Eksperyment założono w trzech powtórzeniach w układzie split-plot, a obiekt doświadczalny stanowiło poletko o powierzchni 3 m2. Celem badań było sprawdzenie czy dostępne na rynku preparaty biologiczne (UGmax, Eko-Użyźniacz, Humus Active Papka) stosowane w rolnictwie ekologicznym, w istotnym stopniu zwiększą parametry ilościowe paszy jakimi są plon suchej masy, plon białka ogólnego oraz plon węglowodanów rozpuszczalnych, na przykładzie wybranych gatunków traw pastewnych (Lolium perenne L., Dactylis glomerata L.). Spośród zastosowanych kombinacji nawozowych w najwyższym stopniu na poziom plonowania suchej masy paszy, białka ogólnego jak i węglowodanów rozpuszczalnych wpłynęło łączne stosowanie preparatu UGmax z nawożeniem mineralnym NPK. Zastosowane w badaniach biopreparaty glebowe pozytywnie wpływały na poziom plonowania testowanych parametrów, co mogło przyczynić się do wzrostu pobrania paszy przez zwierzęta. Wyniki te potwierdzają zasadność stosowania ich w rolnictwie ekologicznym, stwarzając jednocześnie możliwość częściowego ograniczenia nawożenia mineralnego.
