STUDIES CONCERNING THE ROCK VEGETATION IN THE CHEILE GLOBULUI NATURE RESERVE (SOUTH-WESTERN ROMANIA)

The area under study is located in South-Western Domasnea Mehadia Depression (Caras - Severin County), a typical intra-mountain depression, surrounded by the Almaj, Semenic, and Cernei Mountains. The Cheile Globului Nature Reserve goes along the Globul Craiovei River valley and is flanked by abrupt mountain slopes 100 - 200 m high above the watercourse. The rocky slopes vegetation is represented by four plant associations frequently met: Festucetum rupicolae Burduja et al. 1956, corr. Burduja et al. 1972-1973, Melico Phleetum montani Bo?caiu et al. 1966, Carpino orientalis Quercetum cerris Klika 1938 (Boscaiu et al. 1969), and Syringo Fraxinetum orni Borza 1958 em. Resmerita 1972 together with other two plant associations identified on smaller areas

DEVELOPING A DIGITALTWIN MODEL FOR CORN, WHEAT AND RAPESEED YIELDS COMPUTATION

Digital Twin is an emerging agritech technology that involves creating virtual representations of physical systems, which can be used for various purposes, such as optimizing crop management, predicting yield, and managing resources efficiently. The research is focusing to build a accurate digital twin model for crop growth, considering factors like evaporation (ET), growing degrees days (GDD), crop type, soil data, and agricultural practices. The model handles data streams related with geolocation, IOT historical sensor data and weather forecasts streams to simulate the crop risk and yield. Frequent updates based on real-time data enhance accuracy. Aside essential water management crop flow, the model is processing historical data related with nutrients like nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and potassium (K) elements are vital for plant growth and health, and their optimal balance can significantly impact corn yield. The research is extended on five locations in both Romania and Luxembourg handling wheat, corn and rapeseed crop simulation

ALLUVIAL AND LOWLAND HAY MEADOWS IN THE MEDIAN BASIN OF THE RIVER TIMI? (SOUTH-WESTERN ROMANIA)

In this paper we present some aspects concerning the chorology, floristic composition, syn-ecology, and dynamics of the alluvial and lowland hay meadows in the River Timi? basin. Agrostis stolonifera dominates depression areas with high moisture for the entire year, while meadows of Alopecurus pratensis can be found on plane lands that are moist in spring and drier in summer. Lowland hay meadows with Arrhenatherum elatius are fragmentary and are met on the flooding plain terraces and on slightly sloppy lands. On moister lands, not cultivated recently, around the villages, there are frequent coenoses edified by Elymus repens, together with Agrostis stolonifera and numerous species considered weeds

The Influence of Fertilization on Crop Quality and Field Beans (Vicia Faba L.)

Results obtained on the cambic chemozen soil Timisoara in thet good behaviour of the Montana cultivar in which, due to fertilising with N90P60K60 yield was over 2700 kg/ha. Content in protein depending on cultivar and nitrogen dose varied between 23,8% and 25.5%, and protein yield varied between 381 and 692 kg/h

INFLUENCE OF FERTILISING ON YIELD AND GRAIN QUALITY IN MAIN WHEAT CULTIVARS IN THE WESTERN PLAIN

Experiments were carried out during the experimental cycle 2005-2007 in the Western Plain of Romania in order to improve cultivar structure and cultivar response to fertilization (influence on yield and bread-making quality).Regarding the climate, in the Western Plain of Romania is classified in the climatic region Cfbx (according to Monografia geografica a RPR, 1960); besides the general character, which is temperate-continental, the climate bears some Mediterranean influences.This means that the winters are milder and not too long, the springs are early and short, the summers are hot and the autumns are long, sometimes droughty.All these provide good conditions for the cultivation of winter wheat.Yield results in the Western Plain showed on the average for the three years and per experimental fertilization levels the following yields in the cultivars under study: Romulus 5,368 kg/ha, Partizanka 5,134 kg/ha, Europa 90 4,916 kg/ha, Alex 4664 kg/ha, and Flamura 85 4354 kg/ha

Researces Regarding the Interaction Between Cultivating Variety – Fertilized – Planting Distance Between Rows at the Oilseed Rape

The research was made for quantification the interaction between cultivating variety –fertilized-planting distance between rows at the oilseed rape in the favorable pedoclimatic conditions for rape on the Vest Plain where can be obtained the highest productions. In this way, was studied to the influence of the fertilization upon the productions, at an assortment of seven rape varieties. The researched biological material was formed of seven rape varieties new for the reference area, as follows: Valesca, Orkane, Ader, Potomac, LG, Belini, Milena. To point the negative effect of the nitrogen fertilization, to optimize the doses upon the productions, was accounted the agrofond dose, in domain N0-N225. The research was made on a fund of P80 K80, so that varieties can expose their productive potential and the specific oil content. The results obtained accentuated the fact that the seven rape varieties studied, in the fertilization domain N0-N225, In average on the 4 agrofonds and the two distances between the rows, it resulted that in the researched area the most appropriate is Valesca variety, on which the harvest exceeded 2800 kg/ha. Varieties Milena, Potomac and Orkane registered harvests of over 2200 kg/ha. Yield increases obtained for the varieties fertilized with nitrogen at all doses level, are very significant. Distance between rows, represents a technological element studied in all the countries that cultivates autumn rapeseed. The results obtained in the experimental cycle, regarding this aspect, leads to the conclusion that for the studied varieties, a distance between 12,5 and 25 cm, ensures an harvest increase the exceeds 300 kg/ha. The researches results are important for the growers, because they increase the possibility to obtain productions higher than 3700 kg/ha

STUDY ON TOURISM ACTIVITY IN THE WESTERN DEVELOPMENT REGION OF ROMANIA

In this article the authors present the tourist activity in the Western Development Region, analyzing the evolution of the following indicators: tourist accommodation facilities, accommodation capacity in operation, the number of incoming tourists and the total number of overnight stays in tourist accommodation facilities. The information needed for this study were provided by the local authorities, the National Institute of Statistics and other bibliographic sources. The analysis, centralization and processing of the obtained data allowed the elaboration of the most important conclusions regarding the evolution of the main tourist indicators found in the studied area. Tourists arriving in the Western Development Region are attracted by the natural tourist potential, which is represented by rich natural resources and the existence of unique natural elements, recognised and protected through the numerous protected natural areas, including the Retezat National Park, the most important in Europe, but also by the existing anthropic potential. On the territory of the region, there are 4 tourist resorts, 6 of which are of national interest and 8 of which are of local interest. The authors of the work made a diagnosis regarding the evolution of the tourist accommodation structures, the capacity of the tourist accommodation structures, existing and in operation, but also other very important aspects for the tourist activity in the analyzed area. The tourist accommodation structures in the Western Region had an upward trend in the analyzed period, the same evolution can be observed in terms of the existing accommodation capacity. Instead, the accommodation capacity in operation had an oscillating evolution from one year to the next, with the most accommodation places being found in 20 5, and the fewest in 2020. The total number of tourists arriving in the region recorded an upward trend until 20 9, and in the pandemic, arrivals drastically decreased, but then, from 202 they began to register slight increases. Tthe number of overnight stays followed a similar tendency, the lowest number being recorded in 2020, both for Romanian and foreign tourists. Therefore, the development of tourism in the Western Development Region is accessible also thanks to the accommodation possibilities for tourists who want to spend their leisure time in this region

Studies Concerning the Influence of Radiations on Biological Features During Imbibition and Sprouting

The method of stimulation with impulsive electro-magnetic resonance we have used is based on the action of the impulsive electro-magnetic field characterized by well-established frequencies. In establishing frequencies we have had in mind only frequencies that stimulate plant growth and improve quality. In this paper we present a study on the influence of these treatments on maize seed germination since electro-magnetic waves act on water structure in the cell with a beneficial effect on germination.    .
