Studies regarding the sustainable development of rural tourism and agritourism in the Vatra Dornei microzone, Suceava county

The investigations conducted at the Vatra Dornei microzone, Suceava County, which is made up of 11 administrative-territorial units (Broşteni, Ciocăneşti, Cîrlibaba, Crucea, Dorna Arini, Dorna Candreni, Iacobeni, Panaci, Poiana Stampei, Şaru Dornei and Vatra Dornei Municipality) have shown that all these localities had similar conditions as concerns soil and climatic conditions, socialeconomic development, high touristic potential and relatively low density of population (below 45 inhabitants/km2). Our studies carried out in the Vatra Dornei microzone on the sustainable development of rural tourism and agritourism showed that in the investigated area there was a specific form of agritourism, corresponding to the mountainous area, which had specific features in every village and commune. The basic element of the sustainable development within these localities was represented by a new orientation of the farm development. The agritouristic pensions from the studied area have two stars, while at Dorna Candreni, there are three starpensions (Poiana and Poiana Izvoarelor Pensions)

APPRECIATION OF THE ADAPTABLE CAPACITY OF AGRICULTURAL EXPLOITATION TO THE EXIGENICES OF ITS ACTIVITY DOMAIN

Aspects regarding the assurance of seed quality indicators in agricultural research units

The quality of products and services has become a determining factor of organizations' competitiveness. Making progress in improving the quality of products and services must be a priority concern for the entire economy. Currently, "quality management" is emerging more and more as a profitable solution for the development of organizations of any kind. The production of seeds with excellent quality characteristics depends on the scientific basis of activities in the field of seeds, including, on the one hand, the theoretical basis of genetics, seeds breeding, and on the other hand, the activities of obtaining through in-depth understanding and the application of modern methods of conservative selection. This knowledge is necessary for the permanent maintenance of the genetic structure and biological value at the initial level of the genotypes of agricultural plants. In this sense, it is necessary to apply specific techniques for the production, processing and preservation of seeds. In order to achieve these objectives, the accumulated knowledge must be optimally applied to the entire process of seed production, starting with the selection of typical plants from varieties and research in the field of conservative selection, obtaining it from the breeder's seed until ensuring the necessary certified seed. Seed quality testing is carried out by seed testing laboratories that have been authorized for this purpose by the competent authority. Official certification is achieved by issuing field inspection documents and laboratory analyzes (tests) and by applying official labels to packages containing seeds that meet the quality conditions provided for in the rules, by species or groups of species, or, as the case may be, of official vignettes and possibly seals

The realization of the educational product is not the result of a spontaneous transformation of young pupils and students, but is the result of a wide and complex series of inhomogeneous actions, interrelated methodologically and organizationally, involving human, material, mechanical and financial resources. organized, planned, coordinated, controlled and evaluated in an efficient operational and implicitly managerial system. Nowadays, the school unit with economic profile is more and more approached and perceived as an organization, as a system, its main function being to transform the “inputs”, materialized through students, teachers, knowledge and cultural values, financial resources, etc., in the desirable “outputs”, respectively the results of school education: educated young people, having knowledge in the economic sector, with a social authority induced in this education, new information and knowledge, new values, new representations and cultural values
