ABSTRACT / САЖЕТАК:

The influence of digestate, a by-product of biogas production, on rye height was investigated. Trials over three years at Ilandža and Dolovo examined rye growth with and without the application of 50 t ha-1 of digestate. The tallest plants were found at Dolovo with digestate application. The highest plant height (130.99 cm) was recorded in 2023, while the lowest (126.46 cm) was in 2021. The study contributes to climate change mitigation and CO2 emission reduction.

KEYWORDS / КЉУЧНЕ РЕЧИ:
