Contribution to the plasticity of barnyardgrass (Echinochloa crus-galli (L.) PB) in the saltI contamined soil
Šerá, Božena ; Gajdová, Iveta ; Nováková, Markéta
Barnyardgrass (Echinochloa crus - galli (L.) PB) is one of the major weeds, growing especially in the warmer parts of our country. This species was repeatedly found about different types of communications during a research of vegetation along roads and highways. Probably, the species has wide niche that allows it to exist even in adverse conditions, e.g. salt-contaminated area along roads. The aim of the study was to confirm that barnyardgrass can grow successfully in the salted substrate and how concentration of NaCl may inhibit its growth. Growing tests were carried out in a cultivate room on young plants which were grown in standard soil substrate with added sodium chloride (NaCl: 0.00 %, 0.12 %, 0.25%, 0.50%, 0.99 %, 1.96 %). The study found a successful growth of under- and aboveground biomass in substrates with lower concentrations of NaCl (to 0.50 %). In the substrate from concentration of 0.99 % a significant decrease of dry biomass and production of both under- and aboveground organs were found. Plant growth under different salinity stress is discussed in more detail in the text.

The influence of ecological conditions, management and stand botanical composition on growth of slender speedwell (Veronica filiformis Smith) in grasslands
Kobes, M. ; Šerá, Božena ; Novotná, R. ; Gajdová, Iveta
Slender speedwell (Veronica filiformis) is a non-native and invasive species of grassland. The aim of the study was to test the ability of the Slender speedwell growth in differently managed grasslands (mowing, mulching, grazing). After a two-year experiment, a statistically significant influence on the management application among growth of Slender speedwell was found (F = 14.462, p <0.001). The best survival was found in one-year mulched vegetation (dominant Deschampsia caespitosa) in the Zhůří plot and in hay and pasture crops in the V. Chuchelec plot (dominant Festuca pratensis, Lolium perenne, Trisetum flavescens, Poa pratensis, Dactylis glomerata and Phleum pratense). Slender speedwell can be well applied in permanent grasslands higher, colder and wetter conditions with management as mowing, grazing or mulching.

Different reaction of cultivars poppy seeds after nonthermal plasma treatment
Banulescu, G. ; Gajdová, Iveta ; Šerá, Božena ; Kuchtová, P. ; Šerý, M. ; Špatenka, P. ; Hnatiuc, E.
The influence of low-temperature atmospheric plasma treatment generated between the electrodes (GlidArc) on poppy seed growth was tested. Treatment times were 0 s, 180 s, 300 s, and 600 s. Working gas was air. We monitored germination and initial growth of two cultivars of poppy seeds (Papaver somniferum L., cultivars Major and Orfeus). The values of control measurements (exposure time 0 s) of the tested cultivars were different. Therefore we analysed both cultivars separately with adequate control during the data procesing. A positive influence was found mainly in the lengths of sprouts in cultivar Major (22 %, time 180 s). The number of germinated seeds was not affected by plasma treatment in both cultivars.

The growth of large crabgrass (Digitaria sanguinalis (L.) SCOP). biomass in salt contaminate soil - a greenhouse experiment
Nováková, Markéta ; Gajdová, Iveta ; Šerá, Božena
Large crabgrass (Digitaria sanguinalis (L.) SCOP.) is not registered on the list of Ellenbergs halophytic plant species. Despite it is a frequent species commonly growing along the roads on salt contaminated soils. The tests in the greenhouse were focused on finding the values of salinity in which Large crabgrass may produce biomass. Standard soil substrate contaminated by salt NaCl in the range from 0.12 % to 1.96 % was used. Tests have shown successful growth of underground and aboveground biomasses of tested plants in soil contaminated by lower concentrations of salt. Some plants despite the loss of biomass at higher concentrations were able to create generative organs with seeds. It was documented that Large crabgrass is a facultative halophyte.

Effect of various plasma sources on seed growth. Laboratory experimen in Buckwheat
Šerá, Božena ; Gajdová, Iveta ; Čermák, M. ; Gavril, B. ; Hnatiuc, E. ; Kováčik, D. ; Kříha, V. ; Sláma, J. ; Šerý, M. ; Špatenka, P.
Germination and early growth of buckwheat (Fagopyrum aesculentum) after low-temperature plasma discharge treatment in air gas generated in various apparatus were tested. Three pretreatment times were used: 180 s, 300 s and 600 s. Number of germinating achene, length and weight of sprouts were measured. The data was analysed with two-way ANOVA. A significant influence of the type of plasma apparatus, time of exposure and combination of both factors were found. The positive effect on germination and early growth was observed after application of GlidArc plasma. The opposite effect of PDBV apparatus, which is characterized by plasma with a high power density, was observed. Shorter pre-treatment times for this apparatus must be therefore used.

Positive influence of humate on the growth of selected plant species
Šerá, Božena ; Novák, František ; Gajdová, Iveta
Stimulatory effect of humic and fulvic acids extracted from local sources of peat (the origin of CR) on germination and early growth of hemp (Cannabis sativa L.), poppy (Papaver somniferum L.), pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) and rape (Brassica napus subsp. napus) was verified. Experiments were performed in standard laboratory conditions. Dry weight of sprout was determined. Obtained data were evaluated by the ANOVA test. Tested plants can be arranged in the order from the significant positive effect on the dry weight to the negative one as follows: hemp, poppy, pepper, rape.
