    Assessment of the progress of integrated pest management products implementation into agricultural production space
    (Wydawnictwo Uczelniane Zachodniopomorskiego Uniwersytetu Technologicznego w Szczecinie, 2017) Zatoń, Kinga; Błaszak, Magdalena; Department of Chemistry, Microbiology and Environmental Biotechnology, West Pomeranian University of Technology, Szczecin; Department of Chemistry, Microbiology and Environmental Biotechnology, West Pomeranian University of Technology, Szczecin
    The study was aimed at assessing the progress of integrated pest management (IPM) implementation into agricultural practices. Assessment of farmers’ attitude to the new EU policy to reduce the use of insecticides as well as evaluating the real possibilities of biological methods use for plant protection was analyzed. Almost 60% of farmers whose farms were conducted in a conventional system declared the use of pesticides prophylactically. Farmers conducted intensive agriculture do not know the principles of IPM (prohibition of pesticides abuse). However, it is possible that these farmers know the restrictions introduced in 2014 without accepting them. It has been observed that in the group of farmers declaring the knowledge upon principles of IPM, the proportion of respondents aware of pesticides ecotoxicity increases. Therefore, a continuous education of farmers seems justified, but at simultaneous expanding the range of biological products and support mechanisms for farmers, who quit the intensive use of chemicals.

    The National Program for the Liquidation of Pesticide Waste Landfills, Successes and Unused Opportunities – Case Study from Poland
    (Wydawnictwo Uczelniane Zachodniopomorskiego Uniwersytetu Technologicznego w Szczecinie, 2018) Błaszak, Magdalena; Ochmian, Ireneusz; Department of Chemistry, Microbiology and Environmental Biotechnology, West Pomeranian University of Technology, Szczecin, Poland; Department pf Horticulture, West Pomeranian University of Technology, Szczecin, Poland
    Previous generations (50–70’s of the last century) left behind thousands of tons of toxic agrochemical waste (produced and stored for stock). Some of them have already been liquidated, but some have remained, because the costs of liquidation are enormous. In 2011, the national program for the liquidation of pesticide waste landfills ended (pesticide burial grounds with various chemicals types, organochlorine pesticides such as DDT, lindane, toxaphene, methoxychlor, heptachlor, α-HCH, β-HCH and phosphoroorganic pesticides, carbamate insecticides, dinitrophenols, phenoxyacids). The necessity of liquidation about 240 pesticide burial grounds (approx. 20 000 Mg obsolete pesticides) located throughout the country resulted from the obligations of Poland ratifying in 2008 the provisions of the Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutions. The preparations and packaging were taken to the operated hazardous waste incineration plants. Debris and soil adjacent to the burial grounds were placed in hazardous waste landfills. After 6 years since the end of the national program for the decommission of burials, it is time for summarizing. Due to the fact that similar objects can be found in many countries around the world, analysis of the Polish case may be useful. The publication focuses not on the methods of utilization and statistical data, but on a critical look at the applied solutions, also presenting alternative solutions (mainly in situ and ex situ bioremediation), instead of storage.
