Summary
Three species-rich mixtures were developed and sown in small-plot experiments. The following parameters were subsequently evaluated: pollinator visits, nectar quality, phytocenological composition, nutritional parameters (Se and Zn content, mycotoxins, nutritional values and antiox. activity) and soil quality (organic component content and possible soil contamination by Se+Zn treatments). A utility model of a seed mixture for increasing the accumulation of selenium and zinc in produced biomass was created. Furthermore, a certified methodology for the management of species-rich mixtures that effectively utilize selenium and zinc was created. Last but not least, an impact publication was published in the Agronomy periodical.
