Influence of biological intensification on the balance of sod-podzolic soil nutrient elements in field crop rotations by L. M. Kozlova, F. A. Popov, E. N. Noskova, E. V. Svetlakova

“…The biologization factors used in crop rotations favored the creation of a positive phosphorus balance (12.5-148.1 kg/ha) with the optimal intensity of 117-163 % and a positive potassium balance (128.9-395.8 kg/ha) with the intensity above the optimal value of 116-148 %. The most advantageous in terms of productivity and ensuring a positive balance of nutritional elements is crop rotation with two green manure fallows and sowing of stubble and hay cruciferous crops in three fields.…”

Green In-situ Synthesis of TiO₂ in Combination with Curcuma Longa for the Tailoring of Multifunctional Cotton Fabric by Brigita Tomšič, Nika Savnik, Elena Shapkova, Laura Cimperman, Lara Šoba, Marija Gorjanc, Barbara Simončič

“…Since increasing the turmeric concentration hindered the photocatalytic performance of TiO2 in the chemically modified cotton samples, 5 g/L was selected as the most suitable turmeric concentration. A comparison of the chemical modification processes shows that the simultaneous dyeing of cotton with turmeric extract and hydrothermal in-situ synthesis of TiO2 was beneficial and resulted in a UV protection factor 50+, which corresponds to excellent protection category. …”
