Agriculture in the town of Recas, Timis County

The solution to the food crisis that affects the entire world nowadays depends directly and decisively on increasing the agricultural yield, through rational use of the productive resources and technical and social modernization of agriculture, since agriculture is the main branch of world food economy. That is why the effort of all countries must be focused on increasing the availability of food worldwide. Agriculture has been the main - maybe still the only - food source for mankind; the number of people has been continually increasing and this poses a problem especially now, with the population explosion taking place in poor countries. These two major events make it not only necessary but also urgent for all nations to combine their efforts towards finding ways to accelerate the development of agriculture, in order to regulate the great discrepancies in food consumption and to ensure fair living conditions for all inhabitants of the earth. These risks can be reduced or even eliminated only by putting technologies into practice correctly, with the help and under the supervision of agronomists, animal husbandry specialists, veterinarians, chemists and biologists. We, Romanians, are still strongly tied by our origins, culture and mentalities to rural civilization, which may seem to be an impediment in our way to progress and modernization. Nevertheless, we will not solve the problems of modernization by cutting ourselves off from the village, but instead by integrating the villagers in this process which is by no means easy, but certainly long-lasting

The agricultural system in Belint, Timis County

The significant potential or Romanian agriculture, as well as the rise in prices for agricultural products worldwide could maintain the high interest displayed by foreign investors in this sector. This is one of the conclusions drawn by economic analysts regarding the field of agriculture. They claim that Romania presents the highest level of use of unemployed familial workers in agriculture among all EU countries. Another point they make is that the low investment rates have increased the vulnerability of Romanian agriculture to meteorological conditions and induced a volatile behaviour into this sector. The highly fragmented structure of the agricultural area represents an obstacle for attracting new investments, and at the same time it affects work productivity. The rural area is characterized by the existence of a considerable number of people who are economically and socially vulnerable, and who face difficulties in complying with the new set of complex EU requirements in the field of agriculture. The everrising prices represent an opportunity for the countries which benefit from strong agricultural sectors. România enjoys a privileged position from the point of view of the agricultural resources. The arable land represents 39.5% of the total surface: there are only five other countries in the world with a more comfortable position from this point of view. The domestic agricultural sector is frequently seen as the main beneficiary of the fact that Romania has become a part of the European Union. The opportunities arise from the important European funds that can be accessed in the frame of the Common Agricultural Policy - around 7.5 billion euro in the period between 2007 and 2013

Research on the behavior of certain oilseed rape varieties in Gătaia area

The study monitored the behavior of some rapeseed varieties in terms of oilseed rape yield and for their introduction in the culture. The study was conducted over a period of three years 2008-2010, in the Gătaia area of Timis county. For testing five varieties of oilseed rape (Alaska, Attila, Triangle, Digger, Milena) were selected .The soil of the experimental field was a vertic-preluvosol, medium clay loam/loam clay on medium fine clays. In the first year of experimentation (2008), the smallest oilseed rape yields have been recorded due to important deviations in this area. Under these conditions the oilseed rape yield ranged between 569 kg/ha and 732 kg/ha. The oilseed rape yield level of the second year of study (2009) ranged between 984 kg/ha and 1142 kg/ha, slightly higher than the previous year. In 2008 the highest oilseed rape yield of 732 kg/ha was obtained from variety Milena, followed by Alaska with a yield of 640 kg/ha, while the lowest oil-seed rape yield (569 kg/ha) was obtained from the variety Digger. In 2009 the highest oilseed rape yield (1149 kg/ha) was obtained from the variety Triangle, and the lowest oil-seed rape crop (984 kg / ha) was obtained from variety Alaska. Research results show that by the introduction of the most suitable varieties in the culture, respecting the fertilizer recovering capacity of the varieties at the determination of the fertilization conditions and respecting the zonal optimum planting period, rape is a crop with real opportunities for expansion in the reference areas

Ecologic and biologic agricultural systems

Ecologic agriculture has a large contribution to long lasting economic development and plays an important role in improving the environment conditions, preserving the soil, improving water quality, biodiversification and nature protection. Ecologic agriculture may move forward in rural economy and may make it viable by extending economic activities with great added value and by generating working places in rural areas. The aim of this paper is to present biological and ecological farming systems in Europe, and Romania. The objectives of this study were presenting ecological agriculture and biological systems and their evolution, the benefits and drawbacks to extensive and intensive agriculture. We also briefly present a new agricultural and permacultural system - an approach to agriculture in terms of harmony with nature

The agricultural system of the Armenis township, Caras Severin County

The purpose of this paperwork is to present a common agriculture in Armeniș with the land, crop structure and companies in the agriculture of the village, soil types and subtypes of the Armeniș township area, environmental factors that influence these traits, the study of important processes and soils of the area. The objectives of this study were to present the agricultural system and the improvement of the city and its possibilities. In the context of a perpetue changing agriculture we must always watch the opportunities that appear all the times. EU founds and programs are at ours hand, we just need a good implement of this agricultural programs in field, because otherwise we will loose the money who are so needed in this part of country. As research materials and methods were field observations, discussions with farmers and agricultural engineers from Armeniș township. The results obtained were identified agro-zootechnical systems with opportunities for improvement

Isolation of microbes for the bioaugmentation of pollutants from river water samples

A wide range of chemical pollutants occur in rivers, several of which may impair human health severely. The objectives of this study were the isolation, identification and characterization of xenobiotic-degrading microbes from ten different locations of the Romanian and Hungarian parts of River Maros in an international collaboration. High bacterial and fungal diversity was revealed by RISA (ribosomal intergenic spacer analysis) studies. Microbes were isolated from the water samples on media containing 1 mg/ml acetanilide, aniline-HCl, 2,6-dimethylaniline, 4-isopropylaniline, chlorpropham, diuron, Na-benzoate, 3,4- dihydroxybenzoate, 4-hydroxybenzoate, methylparaben, phenol, m-cresol, p-cresol, resorcinol, phenoxiacetic acid and 2,4-dichlorophenoxiacetic acid separately. The isolates were deposited in the Pollutant-Degrading Microorganism Collection (PDMC) of the University of Szeged. The degradation of acetanilide was monitored by spectrophotometry and the three best degraders were all identified as Rhodococcus erythropolis. The xenobiotic-degrading microbes isolated in this study might be used for bioaugmentation purposes
