Some peculiarities of the pluviometric regime in Suceava
No full textThis paper is part of a comprehensive study on the meteorological characteristics of Suceava locality and presents some
peculiarities of the pluviometric regime since 1922. In the 83 years the prevailing frequencies (40-60%) were between 401-
500 mm in the period 1922-1966, while in the period 1967-1986 dominant were the quantities of 601-700 mm annually. The
largest share (56%), over the entire 83-year period, had the precipitations between 400 and 600 mm annually, and
precipitations below 400 mm were recorded only in two years out of 83 years, respectively 1935 and 1986
Comportarea unor soiuri de viţe portaltoi cultivate pe diverse mijloace de susţinere în podgoria Iaşi
No full textThe appearance of the phylloxera on the European continent has in time led to a radical change in the system of vine propagation and cultivation, namely the transition to grafted vine-growing and the use of phylloxera -resistant American species as rootstocks. Cultivated in general to obtain cuttings for the rooting and grafting of grape varieties, rootstock varieties are an important factor in wine production. Therefore, the establishment of specific technological links for rootstock cultures should be the focus of specialists in viticulture. In the present study, during the year 2017 three varieties of rootstocks were studied, namely Berlandieri Riparia Kober 5 BB, Berlandieri Riparia Selection Oppenheim 4 and Chasselas Berlandieri 41 B, all cultivated in the ampelographic collection of USAMV Iaşi. Each of these varieties was trellised on the following systems: a 4 legged pyramid, a monoplane trellis with diagonal vine training and a T-shaped horizontal trellis. Following the studies, it was found that although the length of the canes was higher at pyramid training, the percent to thelength of the matured wood was registered in the monoplane trellis with diagonal vine training. The weakest results were registered in the lead in T-shaped horizontal trellis

No full textIn the paper are presented the agrobiological and ampelographic characteristics of the new varieties and elites, created and highlighted in the Republic of Moldova (National Institute of Vine and Wine, currently Scientific and Practical Institute for Horticulture and Food Technologies). Presented genotypes possess separately or in different combinations the characteristics necessary for a sustainable, competitive vitiviniculture: quality, including a different degree of seedlessness, productivity, increased or enhanced resistance to extreme fluctuations of temperature (in winter and in summer), to cryptogamic diseases, diverse use, long-term storage, transportability. The diversity of presented characters and properties is a valuable potential for completing existing assortment; servesas the basis for the development of organic production and as a strategic pre-breeding fund in future breeding programs
Observations on the sexual behavior of Danio Fish (Danio Rerio)
No full textThe use of zebra fish in medical research, as well as its popularity in aquariums, makes it very important to study the sexual behavior of this species. The zebra fish were brought to Europe in 1905, originating from the still- flowing or slow-flowing waters of India. It is taxonomically classified in the Cyprinidae family, the Danio genus, being nicknamed "zebra fish". It has a long and thin body, which reaches up to about 5 cm in length and 1 cm in width
Socio-economic and cultural revitalization of rural localities - an essential challenge of the Central and Eastern European countries
No full textThe Central and Eastern European countries have been in transition for almost three decades from the centralized
economy to a free market economy. This period has produced profound, positive and negative transformations in all
aspects of socio-economic and cultural life in these countries.
In this context, the EU Agropuzzle 3 and Beekeeping projects have set out to identify in the partner countries of these
projects (Czech Republic, Poland, Slovakia, Bulgaria, Romania) business ideas, implemented or under implementation,
which can be taken as successful examples for the socio-economic and cultural revitalization of localities and rural
communities. In this regard, the paper presents examples of vegetal and animal production farms and agricultural
processing enterprises as economic support of localities and rural communities, as well as agro-tourism and
entertainment units with economic effects but also for valorisation local, historical and cultural traditions.
Emphasis is placed on the essential role of local government and educational institutions in the formation of the
entrepreneurial spirit of the rural population in order to develop new business ideas
Promoting the ethnic culture in the rural area of Iaşi region
No full textThe promotion of ethnic culture in rural areas is based on the traditions and customs of the place. The history of the
demographic mosaic in Iasi County led me to the analysis of the economic, social, political, cultural and religious
factors in the rural area. Starting from the motto of the European Union "United in diversity", I want to highlight the
importance of the intercultural factor in the process of the minority integration in rural space. The multicultural space
has an important role due to migratory waves from the East to the West, from the Caucasus to the European area. Once
established in Iasi county, the minorities have helped to increase trade and folk crafts, becoming the most renowned
merchants of this region. In this conditions, they have managed to preserve their national identity, promoting their own
culture and civilization. The organization of rural space in Iaşi county leads to the formation of some communities
through the eyes of some organizations that promote the inherited values of ancestors. The integration process is
determined by the degree of collaboration between minorities and the Romanian majority. The process takes place
gradually, starting with the assimilation of the Romanian language, establishing friendly relations, organizing cultural
events or spending time for the proper development of the rural area of Iasi. By applying a statistical survey among the
ethnicities belonging to the rural environment of Iaşi County, we were able to identify the main cultural features that are
strongly visible in the local community. The collective mentality of the rural population, being in transition from the
Traditional-Communist to the Modern-European, was considered an impediment in the analysis. The sampling of the
ethnic population (according to the socio-demographic indicators) led to the identification of the main typologies of the
rural communities in Iasi region. Essentially, culture becomes the mainstay of promoting national heritage in the rural
area of this region. The abstract drafted in English (10-15 rows, with special reference to research results)
In vitro study of diminazene aceturate complex with Β-Cyclodextrin for ichthyophthirius multifiliis
No full textThe histophagous ciliate Ichthyophthyrius multifiliis can cause lethality in farmed carp brood (Cyprinus carpio) as well as other representatives. In the present study, an antiparasitic substance (diminazene aceturate) and its complex with a cyclodextrin were tested for its activity against this pathogen in vitro. The purpose of this paper is to highlight the therapeutic potential of diminazene and the enhancement by the β-cyclodextrin. Of these, the complex proved to be more effective (i.e., killed all parasites in a test period of 6-8 hours). Administration in filtered water suggests that these compounds can not be effective in bathing. In view of these findings, we will discuss the potential utility of chemotherapy as a strategy for controlling ciliatosis in farmed fish
Promising antifungal potential of selective botanical extracts, fungicides and Trichoderma isolates against Alternaria Solani
No full textIn vitro antifungal potential
of Trichoderma isolates, selective botanical
extracts and fungicides against A. solani
was evaluated. Trichoderma isolates, i.e.
T. harzianum, T. viride and T. hamatum,
were tested for their antifungal effect by
dual culture technique at 48, 96, 144 and
172 hrs. T. hamatum produced the highest
inhibition of A. solani in vitro, followed by
T. hazianum and T. viride after 172 hrs.
Methanolic leaf extracts of Elettaria
cardamomum, Syzygium aromaticum,
Curcuma longa and root extract of
Parthenium hysterophorus showed up to
100% inhibition of A. solani, compared to
control, while methanolic stem and leaf
extracts of P. hysterophorus produced up to
90% inhibition of the pathogen. In vitro, six
different systemic fungicides Triger 25%
EC (Tebuconazole), Solex (Carbendazim
40% + Triadimefon 10%), Dew
(Difenoconazole), Amistor Top SC
(Azoxystrobin + Difenoconazole), Corel
25% EC (Difenoconazole), Reflex
(Difenoconazole + Propiconazole) were
tested against A. solani at 5, 10 and 15 ppm
concentrations after 48, 96, 144 and 172 hrs.
Corel and reflex at all concentrations
produced best growth inhibition of
A. solani. The inhibition was maximum by
all fungicides at 15 ppm after 172 hrs. All
fungicides had a promising inhibitory effect
on A. solani, except Solex. It can be
concluded from the present investigation
that a combination of these strategies can be
used in integrated disease management of
A. solani on potato
The position of small producers in the hungarian rabbit production
No full textThe role of small rabbit producers was studied in this paper. Interviews with farmers and with the president of the
Hungarian Rabbit Production Board were carried out in the South Plain Region of Hungary. The number of small rabbit
farms and backyard production was reduced dramatically after the EU accession of the country. The rabbit production
was decreased with more than 20% in the last year. There was no homogenous rabbit stock and quality; several
problems were with the feeding and keeping technologies. The foreign consumers demanded animal welfare standards.
Due to the lack of traceability at small scale farms the Hungarian abattoirs stopped accepting rabbits from small
producers. New market was found for the living rabbit of small producers in Czech Republic, or they can sell the rabbits
on local markets. The size of the recommended stock is over 1000 breeding does. The profitability of small stocks is
very low or often negative at the moment. There are to alternatives in front of the small farmers: development of the
rabbit farming to an entrepreneurial size on one hand, or preserve the traditional way of rabbit husbandry and help the
rise of home sales and local market on the other hand. There is a demand of the slaughterhouses for rabbits from large
scale farms, but their number does not increase because of the unpredictable export possibilities and fluctuating prices
Genetic structure of synthetic Brassica napus L. populations
Get PDFThe crop species Brassica napus L. has significant economic importance around the world. However, the complex evolutionary history and vast geographical distribution of oilseed rape has contributed vastly to genetic population structure investigations. Constant breeding efforts, for use for oilseed rape as food for human consumption, and fodder for livestock, have generated new phenotypic diversity. In this study, we used crosses among very diverse morphotypes as Brassica oleracea (turnip rape), conv. capitata var. medullosa (Cavalier rouge), conv. capitata var. sabauda (Savoy 'Wirsing'), conv. botrytis var. alboglabra (broccoli); Brassica rapa (turnip), var. trilocularis (yellow sarson), var. chinensis (bok choy); Brassica cretica; Brassica montana. Until now, genetic studies had insufficient genotypes to determine the relationship of oilseed morphotypes and their genetic population structure. We used 18,272 single nucleotide polymorphism markers in a synthetic nested association mapping diverse panel of 200 B. napus accessions that included crosses of five very diverse parental lines and a common elite accession. Results on population genetic structure and phylogenetic analyses revealed, as expected, five subpopulations that were largely reflective of phenotypes. The results of this study have provided improved resolution to the genetic and phylogenetic relationships of a synthetic panel within the Brassicas species. Understanding genetic diversity available is key to the future genetic study and constant improvement of this important agronomical crop species
