- Ustanova vodi poreklo od Uglednog dobra i vrta formiranog 2. februara 1884. godine odlukom Podružine kruševačke Srpskog poljoprivrednog društva na Drugom glavnom zboru a “na osnovu tvrdog uverenja da se neposrednim primernim radovima na oglednim dobrima, najjače i najbrže može dejstvovati na unapredjenje poljoprivrede narodne”. U toku svoje istorije, menjani su nazivi i delimično nadležnosti, a od 21. oktobra 1932. godine postaje naučna ustanova spajanjem Agrobotaničkog odseka Poljoprivredne ogledne i kontrolne stanice u Topčideru i Poljoprivredne stanice u Kruševcu

Response of Italian ryegrass seed crop to nitrogen fertilization and trinexapac-ethyl application.

Italian ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum Lam) is prone to lodging as consequence of high precipitation levels during growth period, and/or high nitrogen fertilizers application rates in spring. The aims of the studies were to determine the possible changes of Italian ryegrass growth in the first production year using different nitrogen spring application rates and growth regulator doses. Field trials were conducted during two consecutive years under no irrigation conditions. Tetraploid Italian ryegrass cv. K-29 was seeded each autumn with seedling rate of 20 kg ha–1 and fertilizer addition (NPK 8:16:24) 250kg ha-1 . Three rates of nitrogen (0, 50 and 100 kg ha-1 ) were applied at early spring, and somewhat later three doses (0, 0.5 and 1 L ha−1 ) of growth regulator trinexapac-ethyl. Trials were set as complete randomized block design with four replications and plot size of 10 m2 . Prior to the seed harvest, biometrical traits such as number of generative tillers, internodes’ length, stem length, spike length and the number of spikelets per spike were measured on 10 randomly sampled tillers from each plot. Due to different precipitation levels (relatively low in the first and relatively high in the second year of examination) there was significantly different effect of trinexapacethyl on Italian ryegrass. All morphological parameters measured except 5th internodes’ length and spikelet number were statistically significantly different from control in the first year while the only difference was evident for the 4th internodes’ length in the second year. As for nitrogen application there were significantly differences in 5th and 6 th internodes’ length as well as in tiller and spike length in the first year but only in regard to tiller length in the second year. The opposite effect of those treatments could be useful for optimizing Italian ryegrass seed production in Serbian environmental conditions.
Ca:P ratio and content of Ca and P in some annual legumes – oat mixtures depending on seeding rate and stage of growth.

Calcium and phosphorus are particularly important for animal health. The dietary levels of Ca and P should be balanced to increase their availability and utilization. The research was conducted at Institute for forage crops Kruševac in 2015-2016 to determine the effects of seeding rates in mixtures of pea : oat and common vetch : oat and cutting stages on the Ca and P content, as well as Ca : P ratio. The experiment was performed using five different mixture rates of pea and oat crops, five different mixture rates of common vetch and oat crops and three different cutting stages (beginning of pea and common vetch flowering – 10% of flowering, forming the first pods on 2/3 pea and common vetch plants and forming green seeds in 2/3 pods). Results of investigation showed that Ca content was the highest at the forming the first pods on 2/3 pea and common vetch plants, while phosphorus content increased from 2.70 to 3.40 g kg-1 with common vetch growth and development and from 2.57 to 3.10 g kg-1 with pea growth and development. Pure sown common vetch and pea were characterized by the highest average Ca and P content. Ca : P ratio decreased with plant
growth and development in pea : oat mixtures, as well as in common vetch : oat mixtures. The highest Ca : P ratio was recorded in pure sown common vetch and pure sown pea, whereas the lowest Ca : P ratio was recorded in pure sown oat.
The presence of free-living nitrogen-fixers in soils of Stara Planina mountain in Serbia

The community structure and number of microorganisms are different in different soil types,
and they represent the result of interactions between the soil type, plant species, localization
of the microorganism in rhizosphere, anthropogenization and other factors. Certain
microorganisms known for their ability to fix atmospheric nitrogen are also important for the
development of healthy soil structure. Furthermore, they are important for the nitrogen input
to soils in agroecosystem and represent economically attractive and ecologically acceptable
means for reducing external inputs and improving soil quality. Soil samples were taken from
pastures and meadows in the area of Stara Planina Mountain. According to its geographical
and climatic conditions the area is characterized by typical hilly-mountainous regions with
meadow and pasture systems for fodder production. The aim of this research was to examine
quality of grasslands soil, so the parameters of soil fertility and number of free-living
nitrogen-fixers from 55 locations were determined. The largest number of soil samples were
characterized showed good amounts of soil organic matter, high nitrogen content and slightly
acidic chemical reaction. Fjodorov agar was used for determining the number of free-living
nitrogen-fixing microorganisms and their abundance ranged from 6.378 to 7.021 (log of
number) per gram of absolutely dry soil.
Phosphate-Solubilizing Microbes and Biocontrol Agent for Plant Nutrition and Protection: Current Perspective.
(2020) Mitra, D.; Andjelković, Snežana; Panneerselvam, P.; Senapati, A.; Vasić, T.; Ganeshamurthy, A.; Chauhan, M.; Uniyal, N.; Mahakur, B.; Radha, T.
Phosphate-solubilizing microbes (PSM) are widely distributed in the rhizosphere and helps plant to acquire phosphates from soil. The availability of phosphates in soil are governed by several factors among which the proton exchange capacity has been regarded to be the most important factor involved in cation complex formations with soluble phosphates making them unavailable to plants, thereby disturbing the phosphorus cycling events found in arable soils. PSM solubilizes the cation complexes and thereby improves the functioning of phosphorus cycle in soil. In addition to involvement in biogeochemical cycling events, PSM have been also found to have antagonistic potential against several plant phytopathogens. These biocontrol microbes represent the most abundant groups of soil microflora. Among which some nutrient solubilizers have been used for effective biocontrol of important plant diseases. This review article shows
contributions of different plant growth promoters used in nutrient and disease management practices in agriculture.
