Get PDFOur research aimed to study the problems of potato cultivation in Moldova, and the reasons for refusing to grow it. The article presents the results of production experiments to determine the effect of the timing of growing two varieties of potatoes with planting material from last year’s harvest and freshly harvested tubers on potato productivity in a peasant farm in Grigoriopol district. Spring planting was carried out in the second decade of April with tubers from last year’s harvest. Summer planting for seed purposes was carried out with tubers from last year’s harvest and freshly harvested tubers selected during the harvesting of spring plantings. The prepared tubers were planted on June 12-14. The research includes: meteorological conditions, phenological observations, and biometric measurements. Based on the results obtained, it was found that planting tubers of last year’s harvest is more profitable for both food and seed purposes. The productivity of spring plantings is higher, including in terms of the number of seed tubers, however, summer plantings contribute to obtaining healthier seed material for the future harvest.
Целью наших исследований являлось изучение проблем возделывания картофеля в Молдове, анализ причин отказа от его выращивания. В статье приведены результаты производственных опытов по определению влияния сроков выращивания на двух сортах картофеля посадочным материалом урожая прошлого года и свежеубранными клубнями на продуктивность картофеля в крестьянско-фермерском хозяйстве Григориопольского района. Весенняя посадка проводилась во второй декаде апреля клубнями урожая прошлого года. Летняя посадка на семенные цели осуществлялась клубнями от урожая прошлого года и свежеубранными клубнями, отобранными при уборке весенних посадок. Подготовленные клубни высажены 12-14 июня. В исследованиях приведены: метеорологические условия, фенологические наблюдения, биометрические измерения. На основании полученных результатов установлено, что посадка клубнями урожая прошлого года более выгодна как на продовольственные, так и на семенные цели. Продуктивность весенних посадок выше, в том числе и по количеству семенных клубней, однако, летние посадки способствуют получению более здорового семенного материала для будущего урожая

Get PDFThis study evaluated the growth, development and productivity of plum trees in an intensive cropping system during the fructification period. The research was carried out in 2024 in the plantation of the enterprise SRL “Agrofields”, founded in the spring of 2018, with 6 plum varieties of the European assortment: Piteșteanca (control), Cacanska Najbolia, Empresso, Stanley, Blue Free and President, grafted on the Myrobalan seedling rootstock, tree spacing 5.0x3.0 m, with improved pyramid-shaped crown. During the research, trunk diameter and growth, trunk cross-sectional area, phenological phases, productivity of the plantation and fruit weight as well as yield per unit cross-sectional area were studied. Trunk diameter increment was largely influenced by plum production in the crown as well as by the biological characteristics of the variety. At the end of the growing season of 2024 the trunk diameter increment ranged from 8.3 mm (President) to 9.9 mm (Cacanska Najbolia). The onset of flowering took place over 6 days. The varieties Cacanska Najbolia and President were characterized by early flowering (05.04.2024). The varieties Piteștean and Stanley were characterized by later flowering (10.04.2024). The ripening phenophase started 103 days after flowering for the earliest variety Piteștean and 152 days after for President. The lowest mean fruit weight was recorded for Stanley (38.8 g), and the highest for President (54.7 g). It was established that the varieties under study allow to obtain yields from 11.7 to 25.4 t/ha of competitive quality, distributed over 45 harvesting days

UTILIZAREA INTEGRATĂ A METODELOR DE MONITORIZARE TERESTRĂ ȘI TELEDETECȚIE PENTRU EVALUAREA ETEROGENITĂȚII SPAȚIALE A PRODUCȚIEI DE GRÂU DE TOAMNĂ
Get PDFA mathematical model was developed to estimate winter wheat yield based on values of the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI). Using this model, the spatial variability of winter wheat yield across the agricultural lands of RUSTAS LLC was assessed. Under production field conditions in 2024, it was found that mathematical models based on the NDVI vegetation index can be effectively used to evaluate both yield and its spatial variability in winter wheat fields. The results of the multi-year assessment of spatial yield distribution derived from the model data can serve as a basis for identifying zones with differentiated soil fertility. This, in turn, constitutes one of the key prerequisites for the transition of farms to precision agriculture and for the development of scientifically justified crop rotations.
A fost elaborat un model matematic destinat estimării producției de grâu de toamnă pe baza valorilor indicelui de vegetație NDVI (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index). Pe baza acestui model, a fost evaluată variabilitatea spațială a producției de grâu de toamnă pe terenurile agricole ale SRL „RUSTAS”. În condițiile câmpurilor de producție din anul 2024, s-a constatat că modelele matematice bazate pe indicele de vegetație NDVI pot fi utilizate eficient pentru evaluarea atât a producției, cât și a variabilității sale spațiale la culturile de grâu de toamnă. Rezultatele evaluării multianuale a distribuției spațiale a recoltelor, obținute pe baza datelor modelului propus, pot servi drept fundament pentru identificarea zonelor diferențiate de fertilitate a solului. Acest lucru reprezintă una dintre premisele fundamentale pentru tranziția exploatațiilor agricole către agricultura de precizie și pentru elaborarea rotațiilor culturilor argumentate științific
MEASURING PASSENGER SATISFACTION IN URBAN PUBLIC TRANSPORT IN CHISINAU
Get PDFThe quality of services provided by the urban public transport system plays an essential role in determining the level of satisfaction of a city's inhabitants and in improving their quality of life. The analysis of the methods used to assess the quality of urban transport services reveals the need to adopt new concepts that more realistically reflect the various aspects of their quality. A critical aspect identified is the fact that traditional methods for assessing the quality of urban passenger transport fail to fully integrate the subjective perceptions of users. They usually focus on technical, operational or economic parameters, neglecting the importance of the personal experience and satisfaction felt by passengers. The integration of subjective perceptions and the use of advanced evaluation methods contribute to the development of a public transport system that better meets passengers' expectations, stimulating the use of public transport and reducing the negative impact on the urban environment.This article represents an application of the principal component analysis (PCA) method to assess the quality of services provided by the urban public transport system using the data collected during the study.This approach will allow for a more balanced assessment focused on the real needs of passengers, thus providing more solid support for decision-making and the implementation of measures to improve urban public transport
