Środki obrotowe a wielkość produkcji wybranych ziemiopłodów w dolnośląskich gospodarstwach rolnych na tle kraju w latach 1999-2014
Current assets and size of production of selected crops in Dolnośląskie Voivodeship in 1999-2014

Summary/Abstract: The paper presents an analysis of changes in the quantities of current assets typical of agriculture in Dolnośląskie Voivodeship, as compared to the national average in the years 1999-2014. The author examines the relationship of these changes with the volume of production of basic cereals and potatoes in individual farms. An increasing consumption of NPK fertilizers can be observed, especially of nitrogen, while the consumption of calcium fertilizers decreased in the studied period. Because significant amounts of soil in Poland are strongly acidified, this can lead to very negative consequences for the whole agricultural sector. A positive correlation is observed between the size of grain harvest and mineral fertilization and a negative one between the volume of grain harvest and calcium fertilization. There is no clear data on the consumption of pesticides in Poland, especially at the level of voivodeships. It is known, however, that their sales on the domestic market are growing. There has been an unfavourable tendency for the sales of certified seed, especially potato seed, to decrease, whereas the sales of concentrated feed in Poland are increasing, also Dolnośląskie Voivodeship, which is abandoning livestock production. This improves the efficiency of the production and increases the comfort of farmers. Dolnośląskie Voivodeship stands out against the background of the country in terms of the size of unused forage areas.
