Cercetări privind comportarea speciei ornamentale Chasmanthium Latifolium(Michx.) Yates în condiţiile de cultură din Iaşi, România

Chasmanthium latifolium (Michx.) Yatesbelongs to Poaceae family and is classified in category of ornamental grasses. The aim of the current study was to identify a suitable substrate for producing Chasmanthium latifoliumseedlings, as well as monitoring of its behaviour in the specific cropping conditions from Iaşi County, Romania. Experiment was carried out with fourdifferent substrates: V1–garden soil; V2–1 part peat + 1part garden soil; V3–2 parts peat + 1 part garden soil, V4–3 part garden soil + 1 part vermicompost.The obtained seedlings of Chasmanthium latifolia were grown in exactly the same field conditions. The best results for quality of seedlings were obtained at variant V4and cropping plants showed a very good adaptation at the pedoclimatic conditions from Iaşi County, Romania

Utilizarea trandafirilor ‘Glorious’ în diferite amenajări peisagistice urbane

The roses whose flowers first appear at the beginning of summer, with various types of forms, perfumes and colours, could be, in many cases, an inspired alternative for the decor of various types of landscaping. The history of roses is long and contains several symbols.The sustained work of rose breeders made that today there is a tremendous variety of wonderful species. One of these is ‘Glorious’, a tea-hybrid rose, that impresses us with the beauty of its flowers, with a long flowering season and a very good resistance to diseases and pests. This paper has the purpose to study the use of ‘Glorious’roses in several types of design in the urban landscape. Due to the form, perfume and colour of its flowers, this species can be used in various types of landscaping in urban area

GROWTH ANALYSIS OF Cineraria maritima PLANTS IN GREEN FAÇADE SYSTEMS: NORTHEASTERN ROMANIA CLIMATE STUDY

Green facades are gradually gaining popularity and may become a modern architectural solution for higher microclimate quality and better urban comfort in densely populated urban areas. This study aimed to monitor the behaviour of Cineraria maritima planted in green facade systems oriented towards four cardinal points in the specific climatic conditions of northeastern Romania in order to test its adaptability and growth in this system. Comparisons were made of its behaviour between the facades of the experimental structure, and between the facades of the experimental structure and the traditional ‘planted in soil’ variant (control variant). Cineraria maritima exhibited good adaptability to vertical cultivation, maintaining its aesthetic properties throughout the growing season. All specimens that overwintered on the facades successfully survived the cold season of 2021–2022 without requiring any cutting or protection measures

Adventitious roots development and root system architecture of Chrysanthemum cuttings

Chrysanthemum have significant ornamental value and thus have a great economic importance and are also subjected to losses due to the insufficient rooting of the cuttings - the main method of vegetative propagation practiced for this crop. Insufficient understanding of the mechanisms that control adventitious root formation prevents the use of reliable technologies to improve the percentage of root adventitious development in cuttings of ornamental plants in general. Also, knowing the architecture of the root system helps correct application of chrysanthemum culture technologies. Two different cultivars of Chrysanthemum was investigated in order to describe the radicular architecture of cuttings, with emphasis on the root type and the influence of substrate on the developed model into four different variants of rooting substrate
