Chemical and physical features of the lignite from the locality Gbely-Čáry, its positive influence on yield-capacity and cultivation of plant products suitable for use, its sorption ability to fix foreign materials in soil and water predetermine this organic substratum for utilization in alternative agriculture. It contains minimum 60% hm of organic matter, from this min. 20% hm is formed by active free humin acids. From the viewpoint of the content of followed toxic cations of metals it is especially pure. As an ecologically innocuous substratum it is suitable to supply the organic material deficit in soil in the areas with soils polluted by industrial emissions and in protected zones of drinking water resources. Its application in the dose 5 t.ha-1 of agricultural soil increased the yield of single crops from 5 to 40%, in potatoes the content of nitrates decreased (from 194 mg to 63–44 mg), as well as certain heavy metals (Cr, Hg, Cu).
