Cezary Andrzej Kwiatkowski, Professor, Ph.D., Sc. D. is a researcher and lecturer working at the Faculty of Agrobioengineering of the University of Life Sciences in Lublin. In 2018, he was awarded the title of professor of agricultural sciences. The research interests of prof. Cezary A. Kwiatkowski, mainly include the following issues: optimization of agronomic practices, agricultural systems, improving agrotechnics of herbal plants and vegetables, the effect of biostimulators and other foliar sprays on crop yield and quality, evaluation of the suitability of spent mushroom substrate (SMS) for crop fertilization, aspects of organic farming in agroecosystems, agrotechnical factors influencing soil quality, the role of agriculture in climate change mitigation and multifunctionality of rural areas.
A measurable result of his research is the authorship or co-authorship of 235 papers, including 145 articles in scientific journals, 11 monographs, 24 chapters in monographs and 17 popular science articles, as well as 2 publications related to agricultural practice. The other publications are conference reports. Prof. Cezary A. Kwiatkowski participated in the implementation of 17 research projects, including the manager of 6 scientific grants (2 international) concerning mainly: improvement of agrotechnics of cereal, root and herbal plants, ecological and conventional farming system and sustainable management of mineral and organic fertilizers. Since 2011, he has been the head of the Department of Agritourism and Rural Development operating within the Department of Herbology and Plant Cultivation Techniques.
