THE PRODUCTIVITY OF SOME MONOECIOUS HEMP VARIETIES (FOR FIBER AND MIXTE) UNDER THE CENTER OF MOLDAVIA ECOPEDOCLIMATIC CONDITIONS
The present paper presents the results obtained regarding the evolution of stem and fiber production in monoecious hemp, under the pedoclimatic conditions of the Center of Moldova, between 2012 and 2016. The biological material used was represented by four monoecious hemp varieties created at S.C.D.A. Secuieni, respectively, Denise, Diana, Dacia – Secuieni and Ratza. The stems yields achieved, have varied widely, ranging from 7860 kg/ha at Denise variety, in 2016 (a very warm agricultural year from the thermal point of view and rainy from the pluviometric point of view), and 15167 kg/ha, at Dacia - Secuieni in 2014 (a normal agricultural year both from the thermal and pluviometric point of view). On average, during the five years studied, the highest production of fiber was obtained in the Dacia-Secuieni variety in 2014, of 5005 kg/ha, and the lowest of 2279 kg/ha at Denise variety in 2016

Results on specific harmful entomofauna from rapeseed crops in the Central Moldavian plateau conditions
The rape is a plant originating from the Mediterranean basin, which due to its rich oil seeds, used in food and
illuminated, was widespread during the Middle Ages in the Central and Nordic European countries. Result of the
breeding researches, the rape currently occupies a very important place in the world economy as a source of vegetables
oils used in food and especially in industry by creating alternative energy solutions. The agronomic importance of rape
is undeniable, it is considered one of the most productive crops, one of the best preceding plant for the most demanding
culture and a good neighbor of wedge with crops attacked by the same disease. During the period 2010 - 2012, in the
ARDS Secuieni conditions, was pursued the identification of harmful entomo-fauna from winter rape crops of Central
Moldovian Plateau. The harmful entomo-fauna collected during 2010 - 2012, in rape crops in the Agricultural Research
- Development Station Secuieni territory was composed of 15 species which for entire period totaled 4046
specimens/sqm, of the following orders: Coleoptera, Hymenoptera, Heteroptera and Lepidoptera. The Coleoptera order
had the highest number of species and the highest number of collected specimens. From Coleoptera order, the
Meligethes aeneus had the largest share (62.90%). The collected species were integrated into the five classes of
dominance (D1 - subrecedent species, D2 - recedent species, D3 - subdominant species, D4 - dominant species and D5 -
eudominant species); the highest rate from the total of collected species, 62.90%, was registered to the D5 class -
eudominant species
OBSERVATIONS CONCERNING THE HARMFUL ENTOMOFAUNA FROM WINTER RAPESEED CROPS IN THE CONDITIONS OF CENTRAL OF MOLDAVA, BETWEEN YEARS 2014-2017
During 2014-2017, 22 species were identified in the yellow bowl trap type installed in winter rapeseed crops established at A.R.S.D. Secuieni. Of these, 11 species are specific to winter rapeseed crops and 11 species were accidental identified because of the proximity with different agricultural crops (maize. sunflower. grain cereals). The highest abundance was registered by Epicometis hirta Poda species which accounted 914 specimens collected during the analyzed period. The species were integrated into classes of dominance ((D1 - subrecedent species. D2 - recedent species. D3 - subdominant species. D4 - dominant species and D5 - eudominant species). Meligethes aeneus F., Ceuthorrhyncus napi Gyll. and Epicometis hirta Poda. being considered eudominant species belonging to the D5 class. The Ceuthorrhynchus napi Gyll., Meligethes aeneus F., Epicomites hirta Poda., Psylliodes chrysocephala L., Subcoccinella 24 punctata L., Oulema melanopa L. species were classified in the constancy class - C4 - euconstant species. Meligethes aeneus F., Epicometis hirta Poda and Ceuthorrhynchus napi Gyll. species recorded the highest values for the index of ecological significance (W %) and were classified in the W5 class - characteristic species. The collected entomofauna belongs to five orders: Coleoptera, Heteroptera, Lepidoptera,. Diptera and Hymenoptera.

Research regarding the behaviour of some perennial grasses and legumes mixtures in order to establish temporary grassland exploited in meadow regime
In making perennial grasses and legume mixtures is envisaged that the species or varieties used to properly reflect the
stationary conditions, the annual climatic variations sometimes influence different the components behavior, and
therefore the productivity. The researches were conducted during 2013-2015 in the Agricultural Research -
Development Station Secuieni, where was followed the influence of four nitrogen doses on a phosphorus agrofond in an
experience of five mixtures of perennial grasses and legumes used in meadow regime. The nitrogen fertilizers are used
in smaller doses in mixtures, because this element is provided by symbiotic bacteria living on the roots of legumes. The
results showed that the dynamic of biomass accumulation was done in three growth cycles, for the first cycle it took 53
days, for the second cycle 42 days and for the third cycle 52 days. The highest production of 24.03 t/ha dry substance it
was recorded at Festuca arundinacea 30% + Dactylis glomerata 20% + Festuca pratensis 20% + Medicago sativa
20% + Trifolium pratense 10% mixture and fertilized with N80+40P40 dose, and the lowest of 14.59 t/ha d.s. was obtained
at Dactylis glomerata 30% + Lolium perene 40% + Medicago sativa 20% + Lotus corniculatus 10% mixture in the
unfertilized variant
Research on the influence of fertilization on the structure of vegetation cover in temporary meadows with mixed use under the center of Moldova condition
At the A.R.D.S. Secuieni it was researched the evolution of different mixtures of perennial grasses and legumes with
mixed use, evidenced by their contribution to the structure of the vegetation, considering the percentage of participation
of the species in the seed norm and mode of use. The results obtained on the evolution of the structure of vegetation
cover at the mixtures with mixed use, was observed that was obtained five harvests, the first harvest being done in
hayfield regime, and the next four were harvested by grazing simulation, at an interval of 28 days. At the mixture b2,
composed of Dactylis glomerata 20% + Lolium perenne 70% + Lotus corniculatus 5% + Trifolium pratense 5%, in
2014, in the hayfield regime, in structure of vegetation cover the dominant percentage was in favor of the perennial
grasses, comprised between 57% in the fertilized variant with N40P40 and 67% at the N80P40 variant. On the other four
harvests, the perennial grasses tended to slightly decrease from one harvest to another except for the fertilized variant
with N80+40P40, where the participation of the grasses had a tendency to increase between 46-61%. In 2015, the
percentage of participation of the perennial grasses in the structure of the vegetal cover was maintained throughout the
five harvests. The highest percentages of legumes were in fertilized variants with N40P40 and N80P40, the values being
between 12-15%
Researches concerning the influence of organic fertilizers over production and quality at Echinacea purpurea MOENCH. (L.)
Echinacea purpurea (L.) Moench, is a perennial plant, native to North America, from which there are used in
therapeutic purpose the aerial parts and the roots. The aerial parts contains flavonoides, polyphenolic acid, coffee acid,
volatile oil etc. The medicine prepared from this plant determines the rise of self defense system of the human body ( by
mobilizing the leukocytes and extending the phagocytosis activity and inhibits virus multiplication). Since on the
international and national market is required that the vegetable raw material to be produced in ecological system
without chemical fertilizers, the research conducted at A.R.D.S. Secuieni, during 2008 – 2011 aimed to establish the
optimum doses of muck at Echinacea purpurea L. (Moench.) species and track its impact on the herba production but
also on the content in active principles. As a result of the performed determinations it was found that the on average
over the three years of experimentation the highest height (91.74 cm) and weight (108.26 g) was at the plants from the
variant fertilized with fermented muck in dose of 40 t/ha. In this variant the dry herba production obtained during three
vegetation years were 39.14 g/ha in the second year, 72.13 g/ha in the third year and 74.02 q/ha in the fourth year. The
highest coffee acid content (79.7 mg/100ml tincture) was determined in leaves from plants fertilized with 30t/ha muck
and the highest content in polyphenolic acid (2.657 g clorogenic acid) was determined in flowers from plants fertilized
with 40t/ha muck
Researches regarding the influence of distance between rows on the stem and fiber yields at some monoecious hemp varieties under the center of Moldavia pedoclimatic conditions
Hemp is part of the textile plants group with high-value for human and industrial use. Hemp has over 25,000 uses,
ranging from food, paints and fuels to clothing and building materials.
Hemp is currently considered to be a plant of increasing importance for Europe, being used for fiber and oil extraction
and as medicinal plant. Hemp fibers are the most resistant plant fibers and as such, in the past, they were the most
prized raw material of the textile industry worldwide.In this paper we present the results regarding the evolution of
monoecious hemp crop on the production of stems and fiber, under the pedoclimatic conditions of the Center of
Moldova, between 2012 – 2015. The biological material used was represented by three varieties created at A.R.D.S.
Secuieni, respectively, Denise, Diana and Dacia and were sown at a distance of 12.5 cm, 25 cm respectively 50 cm
between rows. The obtained results revealed that the studied factors influenced to a great extent the production of stems,
which varied widely, ranging from 8113 kg / ha to the Denise variety at a distance of 12.5 cm in 2015 (agricultural year
characterized as very dry from pluviometric point of view), and the highest yields were obtained at the Denise variety of
15683 kg / ha, at a distance of 25 cm in 2013 (agricultural year characterized as normal from rainfall point of view). On
average, for the four years studied, the highest obtained production of fiber was achieved by Dacia variety, at 12.5 cm,
of 3388 kg / ha, and the lowest yield of 2546 kg / ha was achieved by Denise variety at a distance of 50 cm between
row
Wheat crops protection against harmful organisms using chemical treatment of seed
In the conditions of the
central area of Moldavia, losses in
quantitative and qualitative wheat
productions are determinated by pathogen
agents which are transmitted by groundside
and seed, like Fusarium sp. and Tilletia
tritici, but also by some soil pests like the
wire worms (Agriotes sp.) and the
hunchback bug (Zabrus tenebrioides).The
prevention or decreasing of the attacks was
achieved in the conditions of the
Agricultural Research and Development
Station (ARDS) of Secuieni, Neamţ county,
Romania, by the chemical treatment of the
seed using a range of insectofungicides
(Yunta 246 FS, Nuprid Max, Austral Plus
Net, Lamardor + Gaucho, Yunta Quatrro,
Yunta Succesor, Alios 300 FS). The
experienced insectofungicides insured a
good plant protection against the attack of
Agriotes sp., the plants frequency at the
untreated variant was 6.37% and between
0.77% and 1.42% at the treated variants,
and against Zabrus tenebrioides species, the
frequency of damaged plants at the
untreated variant was 1.76%, compared
with 0.16% and 0.54% at the treated
variants. Differences statistically insured
were registered also in the attack produce by
Fusarium sp. and Tilletia tritici, between the
treated variants with the experimented
insectofungicides and the untreated variant.
The experienced insectofungicides in the
seed treatment haven’t influence in the
negative way on the seed germination,
plants growth, development of plants root
system as well as plants fraternally; between
the treated variants and the untreated variant
have been registered differences statistically
insured in all the made biometric
observations. The good protection, insured
by the experienced insetofungicides, had a
positive influence on the wheat production
to hectare which was 4852 kg/ha in the
untreated variant and between 5225 kg/ha
and 5930 kg/ha in the treated variants; the
production differences between the treated
variants and untreated variant were
statistically insured
