Diagnostic analysis on the perspectives of sustainable development of the rural environment in the context of the implementation of the regional development strategy
No full textThe paper aims at a diagnostic study on the prospects of sustainable rural development in the context of implementing
the regional development strategy and sustainable rural development in the context of implementing the regional
development strategy 2014-2020, by using a system of specific, quantifiable and representative indicators to allow,
through econometric analyses, the evaluation of the results and the projection of the evolution of the sustainable
development phenomenon. The approach of sustainable development and rural development in a strategic context had,
mainly, a theoretical character, the analysis being oriented towards: the delimitation of the different conceptual aspects
regarding: sustainable development strategies; addressing rural development through sustainable development;
regulations on sustainable development at global, European and national level, etc. In this context, the paper aimed to
identify how to approach sustainable development in regional development strategies with a case study, and socioeconomic assessment of the development of the Northeast Region, the development of strategies to promote
sustainable agriculture at the producer level. and the individual peasant household to the level of agricultural societies.
The information used in the analysis corresponds to the database of the European Commission's Farm Accounting
Information Network (RICA) and the methodology includes the min-max approach and multivariate methods, in
particular the analysis of the main component and the analysis of clusters. The analyses focus on highlighting the logic
of strategic intervention by capturing priorities, strategic objectives, results and impact. The analysis allowed the
identification of the interconnection of strategic objectives with the sustainable development objectives established at
national level and the identification of result indicators related to the strategic objectives necessary to monitor the
implementation of strategies, all against the different methodologies for achieving the two evaluated strategies

Get PDFPerennial wall-rocket (Diplotaxis tenuifolia L.) is a less studied species in Romania. It belongs to the Brassicaceae family, being cultivated for its fresh leaves used in the preparation of salads. In this context, the objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of different type of fertilizers application on productivity indicators of perennial wall-rocket, cultivated in open field. The monofactorial experience was located in the didactic and experimental field of the Vegetables Discipline within the Faculty of Horticulture, U.S.V. Iasi. The experimental variants were represented by the application of different types of fertilizers, as follows: V1= organic (fertilization with vermicompost), V2= chemical (fertilization with Complex 16:16:16), V3= organic (fertilization with Orgevit), V4= microorganisms (Micoseeds MB) and V5= unfertilized. The best results for all the investigated parameters were obtained in the case of the variant treated with chemical fertilizers, followed, in descending order, by the variants fertilized with vermicompost, Orgevit and Micoseeds MB
Forests from the West Plain forest steppe – an alternative for agriculture?
No full textThe present paper has taken into account data from forest management plans realized for 13 national Forest Districts
during 1995-2008 for all forests located in the West Plain. The following elements were analysed: the surface occupied
by oak stands, the species that compose them, age, field slope, altitude, flora and forest type, soil and station type. The
study has shown that forests from the 3d Subcategory (Forests with protection functions against harmful climate and
industrial factors) occupy a total surface of 7059 ha in the West Plain. Amongst them, the first place is occupied by the
1-3A functional category Forest steppe (situated between the steppe and silvosteppe area with the exception of parks
and meadow forests) covering 3911 ha. Pedunculate oak (Quercus robur L.) is the most widespread species in these
forests, occupying a surface of 2770 ha (71% of the entire surface). Oak forests from the forest steppe cover
approximately 1/2 of the total area occupied in the West Plain by forests with protection functions against harmful
climate and industrial factors. The altitude for these stands is specific to plain areas, ranging between 90 and 167
meters. The fields from the West Plain are medium plane, while the soils on which they vegetate have an in-depth
humidity excess (stagnic luvisol, stagnosol, luvic stagnosol, mollic gleic arenosol). This aspect proves the fact that
forests occupy surfaces that are better supplied with water in these areas characterized as dry. Poa pratensis is the most
widespread plant and it is considerate indicator flora for oak stands
Promoting sustenability in family-sized dairy farms from North-East of Romania - use of thermography for monitoring udder health and improvement of milk quality (preliminary study)
No full textRomania is a country with a lot of potential for high-quality food production. However, despite rising demand for milk
and dairy production, the production has been declining in recent years and Romanian milk farmers face growing
competition from other farms on a national and international basis in terms of production and milk quality. The aim of
the present study was to assess the potential use of a phone-connected infrared camera, as a potential non-invasive tool
for the monitoring of udder health and control of bovine subclinical mastitis in family-size farms. The somatic cell count
(SCC) (r=0.79) was positively correlated with the udder skin surface temperature (USST), a difference of 1.4 °C being
observed between healthy and mastitis affected quarters. Infrared thermal imaging using phone-connected camera could
be used as a potential noninvasive, quick cow-side diagnostic method for monitoring udder health and improvement of
milk quality in family-sized farms
Assessing the impacts of climatic factors on cotton yield and its economic indicators
No full textCotton is one of the strategic
crops in Egypt. This article investigates
the impacts of climatic factors and their
variations on the cotton yield and its
economic benefits during the period from
1998 to 2019. We chose the Kafr El-Sheikh
Governorate, where cotton is one of the
major planted crops, was chosen for the
analysis. The climatic factors utilized were
the maximum, minimum and average
temperatures; relative humidity; solar
radiation and wind speed. Precipitation
was excluded, as Egypt depends mainly on
irrigation. The climatic factors utilized
influenced yield during different growth
stages: wind speed showed an influence
only on the germination stage, whereas
temperature had a major impact before and
at the maturity stages. The latter
correlation was positive in July and
negative in August and September.
Relative humidity and solar radiation
impacted on yield at different growth
stages, with an almost positive correlation
with solar radiation and both a positive
and a negative correlation with relative
humidity. For the study of the economic
indicators of cotton, cotton data were
taken for the whole Egyptian Governorate
during the period 2005-2019. The study
showed a decrease in the net return during
the period from 2005 to 2015 that reached
a loss (minus value) of 195 Egyptian
pounds (LE) in 2015, followed by an
increase during the period from 2016 to
2019 due to the increase in farm gate
prices
The chemical composition and polluants content of some ecological and conventional green forage sources for dairy cow feed
No full textThe quality of feed is very
important in dairy milk production. The
aim of the current paper was a
comparative characterisation in terms of
crude chemical composition, Ca and P,
heavy metals (Pb, Cd, Zn, Cu), nitrates,
nitrites and pesticides, for the natural
meadow and green alfalfa, cultivated in
ecological and conventional systems,
utilised for feeding dairy cows. Sampling
and analysis were performed according to
established standards and working
methods: drying for dry matter (DM);
calcination for crude ash (C Ash);
Kjeldahl method for crude protein (CP);
Soxhlet method for crude fat or ether
extract (EE), spectrophotometry for P,
nitrates and nitrites; atomic absorption
spectrometry for Ca, Pb, Cd, Cu and Zn;
gas-chromatography for pesticides. For
alfalfa, the highest values in the
ecological system were for C Ash
(12.68%), EE (2.50%), NFE (35.78%)
and Ca (1.79%). For the natural meadow,
the highest values in the ecological
system were for DM (25.72%), OS
(89.32%), EE (2.76%), NFE (45.27%)
and Ca (0.70%). The toxic heavy metal
content was below the limits allowed
(1 mg/kg Cd and 30 mg/kg Pb). For Pb
the values determined from the two feeds
were between 0.06 mg/kg and 0.16 mg/kg
and for Cd between 0.007 mg/kg and
0.02 mg/kg. The pesticides residuum was
under the detection limit of 0.05 mg/kg
DM for organo-chlorinated pesticides and
0.001 mg/kg for organo-phosphoric
pesticides. All the studied forages were
safe regarding pollutants (heavy metals,
nitrites, nitrates and pesticides), but
statistical differences existed between the
production systems, such that the
ecological system seems to be better
Quality of agricultural lands in Cucuteni commune, Iași county
No full textThe quality of agricultural land is determined by rating, based on which agricultural land in Romania is classified into
five quality classes. Agricultural land reclamation is based not only on soil fertility, which is undoubtedly the most
important factor, but also on climate, relief and hydrology. The Cucuteni territorial administrative unit is climatically
located in the temperate-continental area, with an average multiannual temperature of 8.5° C and average multiannual
rainfall of about 555 mm. Following the pedological mapping, carried out on the surface of 2225 ha, 44 simple soil
units from the classes Protisoils, Cernisoils, Luvisoils, Hydrisoils, Antrisoils and 8 complex soil units were identified.
Based on the average rating marks, the arable area (1381.47 ha) and pasture area (514.22 ha) were included in the third
quality class, with 53 and 43 bonitation points, respectively. The areas with the use of hayfields (103.83 ha), vineyards
(160.46 ha) and orchards (35.79 ha) fall into the 4th quality class with rating notes between 34 and 38 points
Stylistic and syntactic study of Romanian and Moldavian advertising slogans for wine
Get PDFAs a general rule, the advertisements use persuasion to make the consumers buy products, regardless of their
necessities. As expected, the advertisements for wine are no exception. This paper follows the advertising tendencies on
the wine market in Romania and Moldavia. Thus, we focused on a comparative study of a corpus of approximately
twenty slogans, half Romanian, half Moldavian, both stylistically and syntactically. After a thorough examination, we
could identify the common traits used in drawing the target group of consumers, such as the presentation of century-old
tradition of wine making, the prestige of the wine gained through awards or the inherent connection between wine and
leisure time. There were especially pointed out the features that make some slogans unique and which define the two
nations, such the signs that show the rank, status and lifestyle of the subjects. From a syntactic point of view, both in
Romanian and Moldavian ads, the short, concise sentences, made up of no more than six words prevail
