Among all-natural threatened resources, the drinkable water has one of the most burdening influences on the life quality and economy. The pharmaceutically active ingredients are the most concerning pollutants. In this study, heterogeneous photocatalysis was used as a sustainable alternative for tolperisone hydrochloride (TLP) removal from water. The degradation pathway of TLP was also analyzed using various scavengers and it was found that the contribution of reactive species changed in following order: OHfree· ˃ h+ ≫ OHads· > e-. Furthermore, 12 photodegradation intermediates of TLP were identified using LC–ESI–MS/MS. In addition, the toxicity of TLP and its degradation intermediates were examined on barley, using chemometrics. The most significant variations were observed on barley plant after 4 days of germination and on the root, during the barley biomass production. The results also showed that TLP and its intermediates are harmful to the plants, due to deteriorating water uptake with toxic TLP-compounds that reach the vital parts of plants. Also, slightly variations in total nitrogen amount were observed. The high genetic variability efficiently guards barley from various environmental stresses.

Today REEs are used in various industries, such as agriculture where they are used as micro fertilizers and feed additives, the latter being used in medicine as well. There is no indication that REEs might be essential for any form of life. At lower concentrations, they can favorably influence certain physiological processes of plants (enzyme activity, hormone content, photosynthesis, seed germination, plant growth, etc.). They may induce an increase in some antioxidant systems and thereby increase the tolerance of plants to environmental stressors caused by high concentrations of heavy metals, herbicides, lack of water and essential nutrients, UV radiation and oxidative stress. Thus, their favorable effect was documented regarding the yield of cultivated species as well as the effect of their chemical composition on the content of vitamin C, soluble sugars and essential elements, reduction of the concentration of toxic heavy metals, improvement of the quality of wheat kernel for different uses. REEs have been commonly used as feed additives in organic and inorganic forms in livestock production. The available literature on the use of REEs as feed additives in livestock suggests positive outcomes (affected various physiological processes, increase in milk, egg and meat production, promoted growth and reproductive performance), but further investigation and results are needed before extending their use to zootechnical purposes.

The Max ent modeling software was used to estimate the current potential and future distribution of the associations by the year 2050 (2xCO2 climate conditions, CCM3 model). Based on the Principal Component Analysis (PCA), climate data at the collection sites described climatic preferences of different aquatic associations. The central eastern part of the investigated area showed the most favorable climatic conditions for aquatic vegetation growth and thus the highest potential for future biodiversity. The stands of Lemnetum trisulcae, Ceratophyllo Azolletum filiculoides, Najadetum marinae, Salvinio natantis Spirodeletum polyrhizae, Elodeetum canadensis and Potametum denso nodosi associations displayed a marked invasive potential in the forecasted distribution scenarios. The results revealed that the stands of Nymphaeetum albae and Nymphaeo albae Nupharetum luteae subass. nupharetosum associations are likely to be significantly less abundant in the future. As the key climatic factors used in the analysis were annual mean temperature, as well as mean temperature of the wettest and warmest quartile, the findings suggest that, if adequate protective measures shall not be taken, these provenances could become degraded in the next decade and some could even become extinct at the locations where they presently occur naturally.

New ones suggested the stable effects of the resistance genes on growth characters and realized the opportunity for creating the new set of parasite population differentials in Thatcher background comparable in all environmental conditions and growth stages. The main problem was the infl uence of Lr 22b and Lr Tc in Lr lines. The specifi c genes Lr1, Lr 2a, Lr 3a, Lr 9, Lr19, Lr 20, Lr 24 and Lr 38 as Lr 2c, Lr 3C and Lr 13 from the opposite growth infl uential group were chosen. Following growth ratio values could be near the same even after further suggested accumulation of two genes for the specifi c resistance. New set was directed in regionally higher grain yield achievement as to the stability across temporary recycling.

The research was conducted in the crops of pepper grown according to the principles of organic production at two localities (Ljutovo and Stara Pazova). A total of 29 weed species was noted (8 common species). Floristically richer was the locality Stara Pazova. Five species are invasive in the region of Vojvodina. There were no significant differences in ecological conditions of habitats, except slightly larger differences in species diversity in relation to ecological indices for the temperature and humidity of habitat. Strong anthropogenic influence was indicated by significant dominance of therophytes in both localities. At Stara Pazova there were also perennial geophytes and hemikryptophytes, which indicate the stability of weed flora and worse weed control measures. Most of the weeds have a root system that penetrates to the depth of 50-100 cm. Approximately 60 % of the weeds begin to bloom in June and flowering ends in September. Approximately 60 % of the weeds form seed that can survive in soil from 20 to 100 years. In both localities dominated by weed-ruderal species and species that develop under the strong anthropogenic influence.

Therefore, the starting point in weed control is the knowledge of weed species biology and ecology. In organic production of soybean, 17 weed species were found. The life form analysis of soybean weeds indicates that therophytes are predominant. The ecological analysis of the weed flora indicated that the studied site is moderately moist and neutral soil, medium rich in nitrogen, nitrogen compounds and organic matter content, moderately aerated, and non-saline. In these weed flora, bioindicators of the warm and high light intensity sites are predominant. The detected weeds are adapted to the conditions of moderately continental climate.

This material may be utilized directly or after composting (CSR) as organic fertilizers. The study was conducted to investigate the influence of various amounts of SR and CSR from biogas plant on growth, accumulation and distribution of essential metals in the leaves and roots of young cucumber plants. In both leaves and roots, concentration of K was the most responsive to treatments of macronutrients, and concentration of Mn of micronutrients. Overall, concentrations of all micronutrients, apart from Zn, were under optimal level in all treatments. Even though the concentration of nutrients in SR and CSR were limited, they significantly influenced content of essential metals and their distribution in leaves and roots of cucumber.

The method for purification of municipal waste waters with the use of constructed wetland system ... more The method for purification of municipal waste waters with the use of constructed wetland system (CWS) was put in operation in Serbia for the first time in 2004, in the Gložan village near Novi Sad. Biological factors in this anthropogenic ecosystem are microorganisms and reeds (Phragmites communis (Cav.) Trin. ex Steud.). In the process of bioaccumulation, among other substances, emergent plants often accumulate large quantities of microelements. Although microelements are present in plants in relatively small quantities, in emergent plants that grow on the surface where wastewater (which contains various substances, including microelements) flows, their quantity in plant dry weight can be higher. This paper presents the results of the three-year study (2004–2006) of Cu and Zn concentration in different organs of reed plants (leaf, stem, rhizome with root and inflorescence) grown in the “Gložan” CWS. The study was carried out on three fields. The first year of the study was taken as control, as that’s when the “Gložan” CWS was established, while 2005 and 2006 were the first and the second years of the system exploitation. In 2004 Cu concentration varied from 3.20 ppm in reed stems to 5.30 ppm in inflorescences. In 2005 Cu concentrations were lower in comparison to the first year, while in the third year the trend of reduction of Cu concentration was present in all analyzed organs in the third field. Concentration of Cu had diminishing tendency in all three fields over time, with exception of inflorescences where it was mostly constant.In the first year of the study the highest concentrations of Zn were recorded, ranging from 13.97 ppm in rhizomes with roots to 34.60 ppm in inflorescences. In the second year, concentration of Zn was the lowest in all three fields, and in the third year overall concentration of Zn (except for inflorescences) was lower in comparison to the first year of the study (control).

Based on the taxonomic analysis findings, the weed families Asteraceae (4 species), Poaceae (2 species) and Brassicaceae (2 species) comprise the greatest number plant species. Among the analyzed weed species, most of which bloom from June to September, 84.62% are weed-ruderal, and the remaining 15.38% are classified as ruderal. The weed flora life-form spectrum reveals therophyte dominance (53.85%): T 4 (38.46%), T 1 (7.69%) and T 3 (7.69%). Geophytes contribute by 30.77%, or 4 taxa, namely G 3 (23.08%) and G 1 (7.69%). Finally, hemicryptophytes are present with 15.38%: H 3 (7.69%) and H 5 (7.69%). Based on the ecological weed flora analyses, the habitat is meso-eutrophic (N -3.77), unsalinated (S --84.62%), and favorably aerated (D -3.85), and is characterized by moderate humidity (F -2.54), neutral reaction (R -3.15), and moderate humus content (H -3.00), as well as favorable light (L -3.77) and thermal (T -3.92) regimen. Phytogeographical analysis of the weed flora in the aforementioned peach orchard indicates the dominance of widely distributed taxa (92.3%)-a characteristic of weed vegetation.

The investigation was made in the village of Kisač (Serbia). According to , the identified weed species are vectors of at least 64 taxa which are carriers of various diseases and pests (the least 18 fungi, 29 insects and 17 nematodes). The important vectors of diseases and pests, and thus the most undesirable weeds in leaf lettuce crop are: Amaranthus retroflexus, Chenopodium album, Cirsium arvense, Convolvulus arvensis, Sinapis arvensis and Stellaria media. It is necessary to prevent their growth with "selective plucking", so that the weeds, which are not significant vectors of diseases and pests, would prevent draining of soil in the periods of drought. In addition, crops in crop rotations are the most important, and often the only measure in fighting weeds, diseases and pests.

The percentage of invasive species was 28.57%. Ambrosia artemisiifolia was characterized as highly invasive, Sorghum halepense as sporadically invasive, and Amaranthus retroflexus and Datura stramonium as potentially invasive species. Low diversity and low density of weed flora in organic bean crops are the factors causing a high percentage of invasive species in the floristic composition, so monitoring of these species is necessary. The weed flora dominated by therophytes (71.43%), the dominance of weed-ruderal plants (64.29%), and the presence of widespread taxa in the bean crops indicate strong anthropogenic influence and instability of the weed flora. The largest number of the weed species bloom from June to August (71.43%). According to the ecological analysis of the weed flora, the studied agroecosystems were characterized as moderately arid (F-2.36), neutral to weakly alkaline (R-3.07), eutrophic-mesotrophic (N-3.71), well-aerated (D-3.64), non-saline (S-, 78.57%) with medium humus content (H-2.86), favorable light (L-3.86) and temperature (T-4.14) regime, and with temperate continental climatic conditions (K-2.93). Correlation analysis showed that invasive weed species began to bloom later and favored well-aerated and warmer habitats compared to other weeds. PCA analysis singled out habitat aeration and salinity as the main factors separating weeds in organic bean crops.

Infection intensity in the field was evaluated at different growth stages, and time of spike appearance and leaf senescence were recorded. At seedling stage, under the controlled conditions of greenhouse, latency period, infection frequency and reaction type were determined. Resistance characteristics at different wheat growth stages were strongly correlated. Correlation coefficient between LP x RT x IF and AUDPC values, was 0.828. The highest coefficients of correlation between particular resistance characteristics and maximal intensity in the field were determined with the last evaluation in the field (0.665, 0.476 and 0.834). Time of spike appearance was very variable for different genotypes, whereas leaf senescence was recorded concomitantly for near all genotypes. The exception was Rusalka, as the most resistant in the field. All genotypes included in this three-year long experiment expressed stability with respect to infection intensity at different growth stages. Genotype Timson showed the highest level of resistance according to all tested characteristics, while genotype Pkb krupna showed the lowest.

At seedling stage in a greenhouse, latency period, infection frequency and reaction type were determined. In the field, time of spike apperance, and infection intensity were followed. Weak (r = 0.322) to strong (r = 0.660) correlation was found between resistance characteristics at seedling stage (LPxIFxRT, in the greenhouse) and in adult plants (infection intensity and AUDPC, in the field). The values of AUDPC (area under the disease progress curve) were also strongly related to resistance characteristics of seedlings (r = 0.598). As pseudoresistant in the field (especially equal to adult plant resistance) according to other stressess reactions were considered genotypes which were the most sensitive at seedling stage (20°C) and at adult stage they did not express maximal infection intensity, particullar Evropa 90 and Suvaåa. Adult plant resistance as the sum of specific and pseudoresistance was observed on genotypes Tiha, Zlatka and Eva.
