The comparison of winter and spring wheat quality
UHLÍKOVÁ, Jindřiška
The theme of this Bachelor's thesis is to compare the grain quality of winter and spring wheat varieties. There were a total of 16 selected varieties, 12 of winter- and 4 of spring. The experiment was conducted on the grounds of the South Bohemian University in Ceske Budejovice. The botanic characterization of wheat, the chemist of wheat grain and the quality parameters used for examination are mentioned in the introductury part . The first part of the experiment was focused on the control during the growth, the second part documents the analysis of examined samples (mass per hectolitre, N-substances, gluten, Zeleny test, falling number).

Rating combine harvesters John Deere 9880 and New Holland CR 9080 at harvest of cereals and oilseed rape.
WEBER, Michal
The aim of this thesis was to compare the activity and quality of work of the combine harvester New Holland CR 9080 and John Deere 9880 STS at harvest of cereals and oilseed rape and their simple economic evaluation. The thesis was focused on comparing losses and influence of moisture of harvested crops on the size of the losses, on the quality of crushing and the spreading of plant residues. Then the inf luence of moisture of harvested crops on the quality of crushing and the spreading of plant residues, analysis of performance and consumption of diesel were compared.

The quality of wheat for food and feeding
MACHOVCOVÁ, Dana
The quality of wheat meant both for food industry and for feeding is evaluated with all deliveries from co-operative farms, concerns and private farmers every year. Factors which can influence quality of grain, criteria for evaluation of the wheat grain quality, their practical use in working conditions of the concern ZZN Pelhřimov (former Grana, a.s.) detached post Záhoří and results of accomplished tests compared with statewide average were described. Average values of the wheat in 2007 - 2010 demonstrated variability in each characteristics both in the chosen concern and in statewide average. Weather conditions influenced the quality of most parameters. Considerable difference in the quality of grain could be found with particular distributors. The proper agricultural engineering and good seed corn are essential preconditions of first-rate production.

Arbuscular mycorrhizal symbiosis of herbaceous invasive neophytes in the Czech Republic
ŠTAJEROVÁ, Kateřina
I have studied arbuscular mycorrhizal symbiosis of 44 herbaceous invasive neophytes occuring in the Czech Republic. My results show that about 70% of the examined species are capable to form symbiotic association with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) in the field. To my knowledge, mycorrhizal status of 23 invasive species is reported here for the first time. I predicted, based on the hypothesis of Urcelay & Díaz (2003), that the intensity of AMF in the roots of invasive species will be correlated with that of the native dominant species of invaded plant community, but collected data did not support this hypothesis. In addition, the effects of habitat and community characteristics on the intensity of AMF colonization of the invasive species{\crq} roots were tested. My results show that, at the within-species level, plants in the habitats with higher light and temperature conditions have less colonized roots whereas intensity of mycorrhizal colonization increases with habitat moisture. At the among-species level, invasive species occurring in the habitats with elevated nitrogen availability have higher mycorrhizal colonization of their roots. The effect of nitrogen availability is revealed at the among-species level and stays significant even after phylogenetic correction, suggesting this is an evolutionary adaptation rather than a phenotypic plasticity.
