Understanding soil properties that govern physicochemical and biological processes is essential for achieving high crop quality and yield. Organic matter is an important element of soil fertility and fertility in vegetable cultivation. In the process of decomposition of organic matter in the soil, humus of various quality is formed. The quality of humus depends on the content of individual acids (fulvic, humic and hymatomalanic acids) in it, which can affect the binding&ndash:chelation of heavy metals, limiting their availability to plants. The conducted studies determined the effect of adding organic matter (high peat, brown coal and wheat straw) to mineral soil on nickel detoxification in radish, its yield, nitrogen management and chloroplast pigments. The studies were conducted for three years in a greenhouse in a container system. The tested substrates were contaminated with nickel in the amount of 50, 75 and 100 mg dm&minus:3. It was found that introducing organic matter into mineral soil can affect the reduction as well as the increase in nickel content in edible parts of radish. The type of organic material introduced into mineral soil as a source of organic matter has a significant impact on nickel content in radish. It was shown that nitrate reductase activity (NR) depends to a large extent on the substrate in which the plants are grown as well as on the applied dose of nickel. A similar relationship was demonstrated in the case of changes in the level of chloroplast pigments (chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b and carotenoids).
