Department of Agroenvironmental Chemistry and Plant Nutrition

The Department of Agro-Environmental Chemistry and Plant Nutrition specialises in the fields of agro-chemistry, plant nutrition and fertilization. Working closely with the Faculties of Agrobiology, Food and Natural Resources, the Faculty of Forestry and Environment, the Faculty of Economics and Management, the Technical Faculty and Institute of Tropics and Subtropics, the department also delivers the bachelor study programme, “Sustainable Use of Natural Resources” and specialisations within the masters study programme, i.e.” Plant Nutrition and Protection.” Waste Management and Waste Use” and “Sustainable Development of the Biosphere.” Particular attention is paid to undergraduate students working on their final thesis and Ph.D. students. All students participate in departmental research projects.

Science and research topics include: Transformations of soil nitrogen and the use of different nitrogen forms for the optimisation of fertilisation, fertilisation of field and horticultural crops, cereals, oil seed rape and maize, fractionation of selected risk elements in the soil, assessment of forms which can be taken up by plants, and the limitations of this uptake, remediation of polluted soils, processes in the plant rhizosphere, uptake of nutrients and risk elements, use of stabilised sewage sludge in agriculture and its influence on soil, plant production and its quality, plant characteristics on polluted soil and management leading to sustainable curing, precise fertilising, soil fertility care and limitations of heterogenity.
