Evaluarea sortimentului de cireş in Romania

Sweet cherryis one of the most representativeculture in Romania and the North East region, is the most important production region in the country. Vegetativegrowth, productivity and fruit quality of ninesweet cherry cultivars ‘Kordia’, ‘Karina’, ‘Regina’, ‘Ferrovia’, ‘Skeena’, ‘Summit’,‘Sunburst’,‘Canada Giant’ and ‘Sweetheart’were evaluated. Trees grafted on ‘Gisela 5’ rootstock were planted in 2010 in Iasi.The productivity of the cultivarswas assessed for fourproduction years. The productivity of early cultivars was reduced in some years due to unfavourable weather conditions in the period before or during ripening.The cultivars will be discussed in relation to the less favourable conditions for sweet cherry production in Romania due to climatic change and the suitability of rootstock ‘Gisela 5’

Ecological aspects regarding biodiversity of micoflora and fauna from cherry and sour cherry orchards from UASVM Bucharest

Cherry and sour cherry are fruit trees, whose fruits appear first on the market. Both diseases and pests negatively influence the growth and development of fruits, the quality of fruit declining considerably, which brings important financial damage. Research on the knowledge of micoflora and fauna of cherry and cherry culture was carried out in C.D.E. USAMV - Bucharest. Diseases and pests frequently found on cherry and cherry are: blossom blight and cherry bite. To identify the fruit affected by blossom blight, the trees were examined, determining the frequency (F), the intensity (I) and the degree of attack (D.A.%) calculated. The yellow cherry on the Vega variety was placed on the cherry, and the cherry on the Wanda variety. Observations made on cherry blossom blight showed that Celeste was the most affected, with a 33% attack frequency, an intensity of 17.3% and an attack rate of 5.7%. The Sam, Vega and Giant red varieties exhibited a very high esistance to the blossom bligh attack. The most attacking species was Nana with a frequency of 37.5%. As a result of catches made on Rhagoletis cerasi, the first catches were recorded on 26.04 (5 specimens/trap), with a maximum flight of 11 specimens/trap on 16.05, after which the number of catches began to fall up to 5 specimens/trap (13.06). In crush the maximum catch was recorded on 29.05, 13 insects/trap

Joint energy and water management scheme for water supply systems in Romania

Keeping in mind the short-term and long-term aims of cost depletion and sustainable development respectively, a joint water and energy management scheme for water supply systems that leads to reduced energy losses is proposed. For water utilities, drinkable water's treatment and pumping and wastewater treatment are the main energy-consuming processes and a proportional part of this energy is wasted with non-revenue water. In Romania, these losses can reach critical levels so highlighting them becomes a crucial aspect in assessing the system's efficiency. This paper presents a scheme that combines energy audit and water balance techniques that can become a tool for both energy auditors and managers, by allowing the quantification of embedded energy of water losses. The methodology is adapted for the conditions in Romania, where data collection and processing is mainly done manually

Biodiversity of micoflora and harmful fauna in apple orchards from UASVM Bucharest

In Romania the knowledge of the main diseases and pests that occur during the apple vegetation period is a priority in the cultivation technology of this fruit tree species. The proposed studies aim at collecting information on the control of diseases and the microlepidopter population in order to establish the phytosanitary status of apple plantation. The research was carried out in the USAMV - Bucharest didactic field, in the apple orchard, and all apple varieties were studied, where the degree of attack was calculated based on the frequency and intensity of the diseases. The distinctive Golden Orange variety was the most attacked, with the Podosphaera leucotricha shoots at 70% and the intensity of 85%. This variety has the same high sensitivity to Venturia inaequalis, namely 80% frequency and 65% intensity. Microlepidopter surveillance in the apple orchard was performed using the pheromone trap (AtraPom). Pheromone traps were placed in the tree crown from late April to June. They were placed on three diagonals and 1.5 m high. Weekly observations highlighted that the first catches were recorded at the beginning of May (3 adults / trap), with a maximum flight in the in the second decade of May (7 adults/trap) and the last catches were in the second decade of May (2 adults/trap), with a single flight corresponding to the first generation

Studii preliminare privind utilizarea speciilor legumicole în conceptul grădinilor urbane

This paper presents a literature preview regarding the use of vegetable species in the concept of urban gardens. The designing of the utilitarian gardens dates back from the antiquity when they were particularly important as a source of food. With the emergence of the concept of "edible landscaping", which promotes the use of edible plant species along with ornamental plant species in landscaping, the utilitarian garden has acquired aesthetic valences as an integral part of the green space set up on private property in the urban area and not only. Starting from the desire of people to have a place to produce some of the necessary vegetables and aromatic plants in the small space around the houses and to enjoy a recreation space, will be studied different systems of use of vegetable plants in order to develop concrete measures for the development of decorative vegetable gardens in the private environment in urban and periurban areas, taking into account the possibilities of association of the leguminous plants in raised bed
