Published: April 2023

Traditionally, when making white wines, the musts are subjected to clarification and settling, even those from harvests in perfect phytosanitary condition. The increasingly perfected technical and technological procedures, involved in the operation of clarifying and deburring the musts, lead to the total removal of undesirable impurities, but also of the small fragments of skins and core, the only carriers of varietal aromas specific to each variety. In such situations, wines lacking fruitiness, aromatic "expressiveness" and varietal typicality result. In order to avoid such inconveniences, recently investigations have been intensified on the topic of improving white winemaking technologies, showing that the pellicular maceration is particularly appropriate, especially when the grapes are, at the time of harvesting, in a perfect state phytosanitary and are well matured. By applying pellicular maceration, notable results are obtained in the vinification of semi-aromatic (Sauvignon) and aromatic (Muscat Ottonel) grapes, but significant improvements were also obtained when using grapes of "neutral" aromatic varieties, such as those belonging to the Chardonnay variety.
THE BEHAVIOR OF SOME HIGHBUSH BLUEBERRY CULTIVARS (VACCINIUM CORYMBOSUM L.) ON THE SANDY SOILS FROM SOUTH-WEST OF ROMANIA
Authors: TITIRICĂ Irina , NETCU Florentina
Published: April 2023

The highbush blueberry was introduced to Romania by Prof. Nicolae Stefan in 1968. The first plantations were concentrated in the area of the hilly hills, so in the 80s years the cultivated area in Romania amounted to approximately 300 ha, but in the 90s years it decreased to only 60 ha. With the beginning of the new National Rural Development Programme 2014-2020, and allocation of European funds for the fruit growing, the blueberry crop became even better.  In the present in Romania are about 1000 ha with blueberry orchard distributed in the mountain and hilly areas. Starting from 2019, at Dăbuleni Research & Development Station for Plant Cultivation on Sandy Soils, on a soil with a pH of 6.36, studies began on the behaviour of high bush blueberry in the plain area. An experimental plot with the Duke, Nelson and Patriot cultivars was established; the plants were planted on raised beds covered with polypropylene mulch fabric (Agrotextile). Drip irrigation was provided under the mulch. Following the studies carried out in the 2020-2022 period, the Patriot cultivar stood out with an average fruit weight of 2.65 g/fruit and a production in the 4th year after planting by the 3.2 t/ha. The Duke variety recorded the highest value of fruit vitamin C content (13.11 mg) versus to the other studied cultivars.

Published: April 2023

This paper presents the evolution of the surfaces arranged with works to combat excess humidity, over a 24 years' period, namely, from 1997 until 2021. The surface area of dissication and drainage works was 358,000 ha in 1944, and this increased progressively to 3,224,600 ha in 1989. In 2007, the total area of land used for the removal of moisture excess was 3198803 ha, and during the years under study, it decreased by approximately 46000 ha over 10 years and by approximately 50,000 ha over 24 years, from which it can be concluded that the largest decrease was recorded over the period from 1997 to 2007.  Drainage and desiccation studies are necessary in the perspective of implementing sustainable agriculture in relation to both the need to conserve water and soil resources and the challenges of climate change.

Published: April 2023

This study shows the accumulation of heavy metals (Cd, Pb, Zn and Cu) from the soil in the roots of beetroot (Beta Vulgaris L.) from individual gardens in the polluted area CopșaMică.The estimation of heavy metal accumulation in beetroot grown in the area affected by historical pollution was carried out based on a data set collected from 18 individual households. The content of heavy metals in the soil ranged for Cd between 0.52 mg/kg-1 and 19.52 mg/kg-1, Pb had values from 19 mg/kg-1 to 530 mg/kg-1, Zn ranged between 28 mg/kg-1 and 112 mg/kg-1 and Cu had values from 150 mg/kg-1 to 1136 mg/kg-1. The concentration of cadmium (Cd) in the root of red beet varied between 0.015 mg/kg-1 and 0.568 mg/kg-1. The content of lead (Pb) and copper (Cu) registered values between 0.019 mg/kg-1 and 0.198 mg/kg-1, respectively from 0.49 mg/kg-1and 2.01 mg/kg-1.Zinc content values was between 3.5 mg/kg-1 and 10.4 mg/kg-1. It is noted that for cadmium (r=0,839***), lead (r=0,667**) and zinc (r=0,624**) the values of the linear correlation coefficient differ significantly from zero indicating a close dependence between the considered variables. In the case of copper (r=0,213ns), the value of the linear correlation coefficient does not significantly differ from zero, which requires the use of another stochastic model to describe the accumulation of this metal in beetroot.

Published: April 2023

To emphasize the microbiological activity in a polluted soil, the microbiologicalindicators (the number of bacteria; the number of fungi; and the soil respiration) had been analyzed, both from the qualitative and the qualitative point of view. The researches had been performed in Patranjeni area, in ApuseniMountains on a slope of the AmpoiValley. The soil is AlosolRodicanthropic polluted (with dioxide and trioxide sulphur emissions). The results showed that total counts of bacteria showed very low (220 x 106 viable cells x g-1d.s.) to medium (1270 x 106 viable cells x g-1d.s.) viable cells in the plant root active layer, while the fungi total counts showed a very low number in all the pedogenetic horizons (ranging between 2.40 x 103cfus x g-1d.s. and 3.70 x 103cfus x g-1d.s.). The global indicator of the soil microbiological activity is soil respiration, to which data pointed out low activity (64.20 mg CO2 x g-1d.s.) in the soil profile, except the top horizon, where the activity is medium (11.3 – 11.4 mg CO2 x g-1d.s.). The results of the taxonomic identification showed for bacteria the dominance of Baccilus and Pseudomonas, while for fungi, the dominance of Penicillium, Aspergillus, and Fusarium.

The objectives of the paper had been to evaluate the level at which weathering, as the main process active in the studied soil, proceed to modelling the soil vital environment.

The researches had been performed in Patranjeni area, located in The ApuseniMountains, on an AlosolRodic. The results pointed out that on the general background of an extremely anthropic polluted and acid soil (pH below 4.5), the micromorphological observation (on the oriented thin sections) had been reveal an intense weathered process of the skeleton grains (composed of greenish grey sandstones). Consequently, the soil matrix had been in situ enriched with large amounts of weathered products which kept the soil in a state of youth and gives mainly to the Bt2horizon the characteristics of a layer known as „alteration bed‟. The analytical data showed an extremely high level of total Fe, ranging between 14712 ppm and 23759 ppm, whereas the total Mn values are lower and ranged from 176 ppm to 743 ppm. The acidification directly influenced the soil life environment, by increasing: the weathering of the skeleton grains, the soil matrix debazification and the organic matter oxidation. In addition, the soil ecosystem being affected, the soil inhabitants (from macro- to micro-scale) had been also affected. On the other hand, the soil vital environment had been modelled mainly by the weathering that locally buffered the highly acidity and created a vital environment for the soil life.

Published: April 2023

The current status of Great Brăila Island is the result of an extensive activity of damming/draining/land reclamation of the Brăila Swamp with the aim to be used in agriculture. The final areas obtained from this complex activity preserve the specific variability of the flood areas. In order to be used in agricultural purposes, they need crop technologies which capitalize the physical and chemical soil properties.

In order to highlight this variability, physical and chemical analysis on soil samples have been done. The analyzes highlighted the following: the soil texture is uniform (clayey and clay-loamy); the indicators characterizing the structural soil state indicate a good structural aggregation; soil reaction is weakly alkaline on the profile for the entire area; humus content varies from low to medium; the total nitrogen content varies from low to high (the vast majority of samples having medium contents); available phosphorus content varies from high to very high; available potassium content ranges from medium to very high; the total content of soluble salts indicates non-saline soils, while the total cation exchange capacity has medium and high values. The statistical analysis of the studied indicators indicates a coefficient of variation with values between 1.99% for the soil reaction and 53.17% for the structural instability index. Detailed analysis of these coefficients indicate a higher variability for the easily exchangeable indicators (such as nutrient supply) and a lower variability for stable elements (total cation exchange capacity, soil texture and soil reaction, being dependent on parent material). The results of the study highlights a relative homogeneity of the area, the indicators varying inside the same class of values, allowing the application of homogenous agricultural technologies on the study area.

Published: April 2023

Changes occurring at the global and regional level as a result of climate change generate a series of problems with a significant negative impact on local communities, on aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems, on the local economy and on the entire society. The medium and long-term effects of these phenomena are difficult to quantify and evaluate, but scientific research can bring innovative, realistic and pragmatic solutions, with the aim of reducing the main negative effects in an important area affected by the extreme events, such as drought, aridization, desertification, flash floods, all in the context of the climate change. The present paper is focused on the aspects related to the water management in drought affected areas of the Danube Valley, taking in to account a study case placed in the Sadova-Corabia sector, a riverside sector of the Danube River, which includ an important part of Dăbuleni area, considered the "pole of desertification" in Oltenia region and even in Romania. As a novelty element, the paperwork brings to attention a holistic approach regarding the implementation of the measures that respond equally to the requirements related to water management both the requirements of the Water Framework Directive 2000/60/EEC, but also to the Flood Directive 2007/60/EEC.

Published: April 2023

The intensive abiotic activity, but not only that, has brought about the invasion of allochtone (non-native) species in the natural and semi-natural degraded ecosystems in our country. The invasive species influence the succesional dynamics and the floristic composition of the plant communities, occupying increasingly more and more space. Biological invasion of the invasive plants is considered to be one of the most serious threats to biodiversity in alluvial and meadow vegetation. The effects of the invasive alien plants, on the flora and plant communities structure of the alluvial and meadow vegetation were investigated at Copănița Island in the Danube Valley. The researched territory is part of the ROSCI0045 Coridorul Jiului Protected Area. In order to control the introduction and expansion of invasive plants, as well as the anthropogenic impact of these species on biodiversity, a number of measures for the protection and proper management of invasive plants in riparian areas need to be defined and implemented. In the researched area, 22 invasive species were identified, for some of them new locations were established for Romania or Oltenia. Several species were identified for the first time in Oltenia or a second location was identified for Romania, such as the Conyza sumatremsis. is found for the first time in Romania. The management is most effective when the invasion is detected early and comprehensive control measures are implemented quickly, any effect is thus limited. Therefore, early identification of the areas in which efforts should be concentrated (e.g. prevention, elimination and monitoring) is essential for cost-effective management. All the invasive species strongly affect biodiversity within natural habitats.

Published: April 2023

The coronavirus pandemic has strongly affected every sector of the economy. Every organization, every employee within the organizations, had to adapt to the situation and adopt new ways of doing the work at the workplace. Of course, the development of human resources within organizations has acquired another dimension. The focus was on trying to maintain jobs and developing human resources through the means available to the organization in this pandemic context. Telework was introduced and human resource financing activities through European projects were reduced. The implementation of projects with non-reimbursable European funding was quite difficult during the state of emergency and then in the state of alert, which led to a decrease in continuous professional training activity and, implicitly, to the development of human resources in the South-West Oltenia region.

In the study carried out by the research team, the first part presents the analysis of the conditions of settlement and accessibility in the area and of the main natural and anthropogenic agrotourism resources in the Rânca-Gorj area, which contribute decisively to attracting tourists to the resort. From the analysis carried out it was found that it has a rich natural and anthropic tourist potential that is not capitalized at a maximum level, because during the off-season, i.e., the warm period, the flow of tourists from the area is much lower than during the period conducive to the practice winter sports. This aspect emerges very clearly from the analysis of the data entered in tables 1-8 and figure 1, where a considerable reduction in the number of tourists and overnight stays, as well as the occupancy rate of the boarding house under study, can be observed during this period. Also, from the analysis of the data in these tables, it was concluded that efficient and modern management is practiced at the guesthouse, which has led to the preservation of a high level of quality of services offered to tourists, even during the difficult period of the pandemic.
THE INFLUENCE OF CLIMATIC CHANGES ON THE WOODY VEGETATION OF THE MEHEDINTI PLATEAU GEOPARK
Authors: BUȘE-DRAGOMIR Luminița , NICOLAE Ion , BALESCU Carmen Daniela
Published: April 2023

In the climatic conditions of the Mehedinți Plateau, the plant species of sub-Mediterranean origin have adapted to a certain duration and variation of the thermal and precipitation regime during the growing season, in correlation with their demands on temperature and humidity.The climatic disturbances observed in recent years (short periods with very abundant precipitation, very long periods of drought, springs with very low temperatures, at the limit of freezing), can create serious imbalances in these plants. From a phenological point of view, the plants started growing in 2021, at the beginning of April. In 2022, in the same period, the plants were still resting. Compared to the data from the spring and summer of 2021, in 2022 the water content of the leaves was lower and much lower values of the photosynthesis process were recorded. As a consequence, the growth rate was seriously affected. Young plants were more strongly affected than mature trees.
STUDIES ON THE PHYSIOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF THE HALOPHYTIC SPECIES CRAMBE MARITIMA L. AND THE POSSIBILITY OF ITS INTRODUCTION INTO CULTURE IN THE SOUTHERN AREA OF ROMANIA’S OLTENIA REGION
Authors: BUȘE-DRAGOMIR Luminița , NICOLAE Ion
Published: April 2023

Crambe maritima L. is a perennial plant from the Brasicaceae family that grows spontaneously in Romania on the beaches of the Black Sea. Its tolerance to salt also makes it tolerant to soil drought. Therefore, it was considered that the sandy and dry soil in the southern part of the Oltenia region could be favorable for the cultivation of this plant, known in the world for its food value. Studies show that the plant develops high values ​​of osmotic pressure and suction force on dry and salty soil and thus manages to absorb optimal amounts of water. Wax impregnation of the leaves reduces water losses and is thus another adaptive advantage. In conditions of moderate salinity or drought, the photosynthesis values ​​are maintained at fairly high values ​​and the net assimilation intensity also has values ​​that ensure a moderate productivity.

Published: April 2023

Greenhouses of the Botanical Garden "Al. Buia" in Craiova house a varied collection of plants, belonging to numerous families. In this paper, species from the families Commelinaceae and Piperaceae are presented.

The family Commelinaceae includes herbaceous plants, rarely lianas, native to tropical and temperate regions of the world, except Europe. In the greenhouse, this family is represented by ornamental species of the Callisia, Cyanotis and Tradescantia genera.

The family Piperaceae comprises herbaceous plants, subshrubs or lianas, rarely trees, with simple, entire leaves, with stipules, often succulent and with small, bisexual or unisexual flowers, grouped in spikes or spadix. They are plants that grow spontaneously in tropical or subtropical areas around the world, but the greatest diversity is found in the Americas in a wide range of habitats being distributed from the southern United States of America to Chile and Argentina. In the greenhouses of the Botanical Garden this family is represented by two genera: Piper and Peperomia. In addition to the decorative effect, numerous representatives of the Piperaceae family are used as a food ingredient (Piper longum, Piper nigrum, Peperomiapellucida) and in traditional medicine to treat a wide variety of conditions: inflammatory diseases, gastrointestinal and respiratory tract disorders, acne, kidney diseases. Therefore, disseminating information about the existing ornamental plants in the greenhouses of the Botanic Gardens on the one hand supports their botanical value and on the other hand represents another step for environmental education.
REVIEW OF METHODS FROM AGRICULTURAL AND HORTICULTURAL PRACTICE USED IN PROJECTS RELATED TO THE RESTORATION OF NATURAL HABITATS
Authors: KASCHIEVA Mariya , IVANOV Ivaylo , DINKOV Nikolay , NEDYALKOV Nikolay
Published: April 2023

Review of methods from agricultural and horticultural practice used in projects related to the restoration of natural habitats. Ecological restoration supports the reconstruction of degraded, damaged or destroyed natural habitats. Restoration activities lead to an increased demand for seeds or seedlings of plant species characteristic of different habitats. This creates a demand that cannot be met by the supply of wild plant seeds. In order to ensure sufficient quantities of seeds for restoration activities, methods typical of agricultural production are increasingly applied. Often, seeds intended for ecological restoration are obtained under natural conditions from natural populations that reflect the genetic diversity of the given species. Obtaining seeds in this way is a labour-intensive and expensive process and does not meet the requirements for large-scale restoration activities required by practice. In this case, to improve seed production and to reduce costs, different wild seed production systems are integrated that are based on agricultural or horticultural production methods (Pedrini et al. 2020), providing a new intersection between habitat restoration and agriculture. Both the classic selection methods and the methods of modern selection science are applied in the restoration practice. Restoration ecology in its application combines selection, agricultural seed production and plant physiology. Some of the reviewed methods were applied in practice during the implementation of a project related to the restoration of natural habitat 62С0* Ponto-Sarmatian steppes in Bulgaria.

Published: April 2023

Pathogens and pests are predicted to spread to areas where they were previously irrelevant due to climate change and human-induced changes, posing new management issues for crops, especially in cropping systems based on minimal cereal crop diversification. In temperate areas of Central and Eastern Europe, rye (Secale cereale) is a minor cereal that contributes to crops diversification particularly in marginal situations where soil and climate are unfavorable for wheat production. During 2021-2022 growing season, a plant–pest-pathogen interaction profile was observed on four rye genotypes (Binnto, Inspector, Serafino, Suceveana) and also was observed the effect of different chemical and biological pesticide formulations on rye leaf rust in a randomized complete block design with three replications in dry area from Research and Development Station for Plant Culture on Sands Dăbuleni in South of Romania. Among all evaluated rye genotypes the greatest resistance was noticed in Serafino that recorded the lowest AUDPC value (51,76), while the most susceptible was Suceveana genotype with AUDPC = 279,55.  The best protection against leaf rust was provided by Poliversum (the 1st assessment – attack degree = 3,23%; the 2nd assessment – attack degree = 7,56%). Negative and significant correlation of leaf rust attack degrees with grain yield (r =-0,9393***) were found during 2021-2022 cropping season.

The study carried out on the qualitative indicators of work for planting seedlings requires knowledge of the cyclogram of the operation of the cup of the planting device.This involves knowing and correctly setting the operational phases of the bucket at a full rotation of the distributor disc.The realization of the cyclogram takes into account the kinematic elements of the transmission that determine the peripheral speed of rotation of the cup and influence the time of placing the seedling in the cup by the user.Consisting of several sectors, namely the sector of placing the seedling in the cup, moving the seedling cup until it opens and leaving the seedling in the ground, moving the open cup without seedling, closing the cup for feeding the seedling by the user, mainly influences the distance between the plates at a time.At the same time, the peripheral speed of rotation and the times for completing the operational phases of the cup have an influence on the state of fatigue of the user, in the conditions where an experienced user can place 60-70 seedlings/minute.Following the conducted research, conclusions were drawn on the operation of the planter with different number of cups at different work speeds on the achievement of the respective work quality indices: the distance between plants in a row, the position of the plant in the soil. The obtained results led to observations for the optimization of the cyclogram.

COMPARATIVE EXPERIMENTAL RESEARCH ON THE QUALITY OF THE WORK OF THE COMBINED EQUIPMENT FOR SHREDDING AND INCORPORATING VEGETABLE RESIDUES COMPARED TO THE AGGREGATE SHREDDER OF VEGETABLE RESIDUES WITH THE U650 TRACTOR
Authors: STOIAN Florin , MITRACHE Paul
Published: April 2023

In practice, the operation of destroying plant residues is carried out separately, in general the equipment is mounted on the back of the tractor. Equipment for destroying plant residues such as cutters, platforms with rotors, shredders, etc. is known. which works in aggregate with the tractor. The disadvantages of these equipments consist in the fact that they work independently and only carry out the operation of destroying plant remains and leaving them on the ground, in the technology being the additional passage on the same land for incorporation, which involves fuel consumption, pollution. ground subsidence etc. The combined equipment for shredding and incorporating plant residues eliminates these disadvantages, mainly because the operations are performed in a single pass. The advantage of using this mechanism consists in facilitating operations and increasing productivity with reduced time and fuel costs, at the same time meeting environmental protection requirements by reducing land subsidence and noxes produced by double tillage. Another advantage consists in avoiding the accumulation of plant debris in front of the active organs of the plow and removing it from the furrow, in case the unshredded material would remain on the ground.

Authors: DABAN Mehmet
Published: April 2023

The aim of this research is to analyze the problems faced by school administrators in performing educational activities during the Covid-19 pandemic. A qualitative research method was adopted in this research and the study was conducted with embedded multiple-case design. The study group of this research consists of 8 school principals and 8 deputy principals working in 2 kindergartens, 2 primary schools, 2 secondary schools and 2 Anatolian high schools affiliated to the Manavgat District Directorate of National Education in the 2021-2022 academic year. The data were obtained by interview technique using a semi-structured interview form. Five important conclusions were reached as a result of this research. Firstly, the decrease in the number and duration of the lessons affected the planning and implementation of face-to-face education negatively. Secondly, assessment and evaluation studies in face-to-face education could not be carried out in a healthy way. Thirdly, technological obstacles related to use of the Internet, tablet, computer and Education Information Network (EIN) have been effective in distance education. Fourthly, schools have not been able to establish the necessary relationship with their stakeholders, institutions and non-governmental organizations (NGOs). Finally, the studies carried out with the parent-teacher associations (PTAs), which are the stakeholder of the schools, have not reached the desired level. As a requirement of being a social state, schools and citizens should be prepared for possible crisis situations in order to ensure equality of opportunity and possibility.

The aim of this research was to evaluate the effect of variation in number and diversity of colors, coat pattern, and skin color and its effect on longevity and etnological indices in local goats from Northern Mexico. Two hundred fifty-one adult goats were chosen. The aforementioned variables were recorded in addition to age, live weight (LW), body condition (BC), and fifteen zoometric traits. Seventeen indices were calculated. The group with two colors was different (P<0.05) in age and BC. Skin color was different in LW and BC (P<0.05). BC was higher in white coat mottled animals (P<0.05). The one-color group presented the highest Facial Index. Flat-coated Animals had higher Index of horns. Cephalic, pelvic, facial, compactness, relative chest depth, substernal slenderness, and relative shortness indices were different in coat color. It is concluded that this population was phaneroptically heterogeneous and the number, diversity of colors, coat pattern, and skin color influence the longevity and ethnological and functional indices.
