Abstract
The theme of our research work is to compare the effect of conventional and ecological farming system on soil biological activity and yield. Within the two farming system we are also going to study the effect of plant nutrition, crop rotation and soil amelioration (lime) on the parameters mentioned above at the same ecological factors (calcareous chemozem soil type, climate). During the four years' experiment we are going to study the more important physical, chemical soil properties, as well as infer biological activity from the number and diversity of microorganisms living in the soil, different enzyme activities, CO2-production and amount of biomass-C of soil. The other purpose of our work is to compare those methods, by which can determine the soil biological activity (especially the methods of biomass-C measurement) and prove the authenticity of them.
