The Romanian fruit market has a high growth potential but, to a great degree, after 1989 it has registered a reverse phenomenon. The fruit estate, consisting of orchards and nurseries, totaled in the 80s around 290.000 ha, representing 2% of the agricultural area of the country. Nowadays, the fruit heritage is a lot diminished. In 2010, Romania had 196,000 hectares of orchards, these surfaces decreasing by 2016 when they totaled 138,000 hectares, representing 1% of the agricultural area of the country. For the recovery of this sector, it is necessary to renew the fruit plantations. Also, the range of fruit products needs to be diversified so that Romania can enter the European markets. In addition, Romanian producers should be encouraged by introducing tax exemptions and by granting new types of subsidies. In this way, Romania will be able to become competitive on the European and global market. The studies carried out on Research and Development Station for Fruit Growing (RDSFG) Iasi show how using high performance hybrids, as well as widening the range of products and maintaining a distribution process with no intermediaries have helped the company preserving a significant market share and increasing its turnover in the last years.

Alternaria blight in mustard cause heavy damage to the foliar parts resulting into poor growth and development of plants and thereby reduces seed yield. Inorder to manage Alternaria infestation in mustard seed for yield maximization, an experiment was conducted in the plant protection laboratory in Nepal Polytechnic Institute, Bharatpur, Chitwan in 2018, using Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with four replicates. Five treatments i.e.Uthane M-45 (2g/kg), Neem powder (3 g/kg), Bojho powder (4g/kg), Trichoderma harzianum, (107 Conidia/mL) and control (without treatment) were used for seed treatment of local variety of Mustard. Four hundred seeds for each treatment (25 seeds in each petriplate) were plated using triple layers of moistened blotter paper in petriplate and incubated at (27±20C) for 2 days and followed deep freezing for 24 hrs. Data of disease incidence and seed germination were recorded in 3, 7 and 10 days after incubation (DAI). Seedling vigor and seedling weight were also recorded at 5 DAI. The percentage of Alternaria spp incidence on seeds at different DAI showed highly significant with respect to different treatments. Application of Uthane M-45 and T. harzianum significantly reduced the seed-borne infection of Alternaria spp. as compared to control. At 3 DAI Uthane M-45 completely checked the pathogen however, only 4% and 5% disease incidence was observed in 7 DAI and 10 DAI respectively. Bio control agent Trichoderma harzianum was found next best alternative after Uthane M-45 to control disease. Plant extract Bojho powder and Neem powder were found better than control to check the disease. Furthermore, highest germination (76%) was observed in Trichoderma treatment whereas, lowest germination was found in control.

In Romania, agriculture is undergoing restructuring and economic development as a result of the changes following the 1989 Revolution. Within this background, agriculture has remained one of the priority branches of the national economy, in close correlation with the level of technical and economic performances achieved worldwide and especially within the agriculture of developed European countries, where technical, scientific and managerial progress has penetrated faster. The authors' intention is to analyse the main aspects related to the marketing actions for the main crops of grain maize, feed barley and rape, within S.C. AGRAR-M SERV S.R.L. company, based in Bordei-Verde, Lișcoteanca Village, Brăila County, for the reference period 2012-2015. In order to achieve the purpose of this paper, we started from compiling the database for the period under review, and thereafter we presented and analysed the natural conditions in the researched area that influenced the production results and, implicitly, the economic and financial ones.

Romania has joined the European Union on January 1st 2007. In the last 10 years, a lot of changes have taken place in the Romanian economy, including in agriculture - generated by the Common Agricultural Policy. The authors referred, on the basis of statistical information, to some changes that have taken place in Romania's agriculture, such as: changing the ownership system in favor of private property, in accordance with the Land Fund Act; reducing of employment in agriculture; increasing the number of agricultural units and their size - both in plant and animal husbandry; the use of new varieties and hybrids, having superior productivity, improved and adapted to the pedoclimatic conditions in Romania; introduction of new breeds and hybrids - in animal husbandry; the use of modern production technologies with a high level of mechanization and automation; obtaining better agricultural output than in 2017; increasing the incomes of the employed population in agriculture; rural tourism development.

The paper investigates the main changes that have taken place in the Romanian fruits and vegetables supply chain over the past twenty years. Its sustainability is assessed using time-series data from different official and private data-bases applying statistic research methods. Results showed that the Romanian supply chain is dominated in terms of both inputs used and offer, by imports originating from different EU countries. The local subsistence and semi-subsistence farms cannot provide enough qualitative and quantitative products such as to penetrate the supermarkets, the main players from the market. Agritourism, a potential niche market, was investigated using sampling techniques. The guesthouses from one of the most important ecotourism destinations where assessed by face-to-face interviews. Results showed that even such short-marketing chains are unsustainable tools for the fresh fruits and vegetables products sectors. The lack of governance for the local producers does not allow them to enter on such niche market. All this findings can provide important incentives for better future targeted sectorial agricultural policies. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Ensuring financial autonomy of agricultural companies will be assessed and supported using liabilitiesstructurerates, respectively, of equity and borrowed capitals. Also, the company's capacity to meet financial commitments is measured by ratios expressing indebtedness and the liquidity - solvency extent. The company's financial independence is ensured by a structure adequate to its financial profile and is evaluated using the following rates: financial stability rate; current level of funding; globaland on term financial autonomy rate; globaland on term borrowing rate. By simply viewing the structure of liabilitiesgraph and by the size of installments, the high share of current liabilities with a maturity over one year in total financing sources can be observed. The case study was carried out at S.C. AGROMEC DRAGALINA S.R.L., which produces cereal, sunflower, rapeseed, sugar beet and soy. Analysing the achieved and soldproduction, a significant increase is observed due to an increase in cultivated areas, along with crop diversification and achieving higher total production (+ 17%) and the influence of increasing selling prices. In 2007, as the reference year, assetsfunding was more stable and more effective: - a global financial autonomy ensured by equity of 16.29%; - subsidies for investments accounted for 21.2%; - a high current through debt financing with maturities up to one year of22.02% - a share of long-term debt in total liabilities of40.49%.

The purpose of the performed and presented financial analyzes, in the case of the two units, does not allow major discrepancies between the estimated and achieved situation. The authors have based the research on the technical-economic and financial analysis of investments, which sets economic efficiency and investments viability and assumes forecast of revenue, expenses, profit and loss account, balance sheet and cash flow: a) static analysis of indicators; b) dynamic analysis of indicators, c) cost-benefit analysis. Analysis of economic efficiency and sustainability of investments aimes at both static indicators of investment analysis and dynamic analysis of economic efficiency. The goal of research was to improve analyzes and economic indicators for assessing the effectiveness and sustainability of investments and the objectives targeted technical and economic analysis, solvency and viability of investments and the impact of the investment on key indicators of economic and financial technical analysis. Case studies, carried out at S.C. NORD INTERMED CONSULTING GROUP S.R.L. Dorneşti, Suceava county and S.C. ANDIMIR TOP S.R.L. Mihălăşeni, Botoşani county, led to a series of measures to improve the financial analysis of economic efficiency and sustainability of investments. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Development and efficiency strategy of agricultural production in a certain area is based on the analysis of the economic and financial situation of the agricultural sector, which should take into account the adoption of those measures aimed primarily at increasing agricultural production and, secondly, making it more efficient by accessing European funds (1, 4, 6, 8, 11, 12, 13, 14, 16, 18, 21, 23, 24). These measures will have a major influence on increasing the efficiency of the Romanian agriculture by promoting farmers' managerial and marketing skills and orientation of farming activities to profitable investment, including integrated projects, by accessing EU funds (5, 6, 10, 15, 16). National Rural Development Programme is the instrument through which the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development (EAFRD) and the European Economic Recovery Plan (EERP) can be accessed, which complies with the strategic guidelines of the EU rural development (15,20). Achieving the desired objectives of the National Rural Development Programme 2007-2013 is provided by the Managing Authority for P.N.D.R., namely the General Directorate of Rural Development, belonging to the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development. Common Agricultural Policy (CAP), in its actual form, consumes, through the complex system of subsidies and other financial incentives, about half of the common budget and is built around two pillars: the first is the common market organizations and covers common regulation measures of agricultural products integrated markets functioning, and the second, which gained magnitude in the past decade, is rural development and includes structural measures that target a harmonious rural development (diversification of activities, product quality, environmental protection) (24). Accessing European funds for agriculture and rural development is closely linked to the Agency for Payments and Intervention in Agriculture, which operates in three main areas, developing support measures financed from the national budget and European funds (6.16): a) direct payments and market measures; b) some measures financed from European funds for agriculture and rural development, established by the Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development; c) payments which represent financial support from the national budget. Through the presented paper, the authors have proposed to highlight the main aspects that characterize the evolution of Botosani county's agriculture after Romania's adherence to the European Union (8, 11, 12, 22).

S.A. Agroind Berezeni, Vaslui County was established under the Low nr. 36/1991, according with the Court decision No. 2 from 04.11.1991. Administrative, the company is from Berezeni Commune located just 5 km from the river Prut, border with Moldova Republic. It was the first agricultural unit from Vaslui County with private capital (4.3 billion lei) and second in Moldova, with the activity object: crop production, animal husbandry, processing and capitalization of agro-zootechnical products. Based on a good management, the main goal of the company was to design a production structures unit that meet the requirements of market economy, aiming to exploit the agricultural potential of the area, both by developing vegetable farms, and those of breeding, putting emphasis on cattle and sheep for milk and meat. S.A. Agroind Berezeni belonging to the Association of Cattle Breeders Association Birlad and Husi Eastern Group Association, which unites over 50 companies in the agriculture of the county of Vaslui. The unit has a total of 686 associates and has an agricultural area of 3727 hectares, of which arable land 3250. Trie strategy of development and efficiency of the unit was based on the integration process, by increasing investment both from own sources and from other sources (loans and attracting European funding by projects), so that currently, is technical and material developed and modernized, appearing new sectors such as: irrigation sector, processing sector for wheat and corn (corn and wheat mill, bakery), milk processing sector, drying and storing grain sector, dairy sector farm and mechanization modernization, etc. Based on this case study, the authors have proposed to highlight the development opportunities and improvement of agricultural units, based on practice an advanced management and marketing, leading to performance and efficiency.

Botoşani County has a high agricultural potential, with an agricultural area of 78.8 % out of the total county area and an average agricultural land per capita at 0.98 hectares. The agriculture occupies an important place in the economy structure of Botoşani County. However, big changes have taken place since 1990, such as: recognition of the property rights by the Land Law of February 1991, which has determined the change of the property structure in favour of the private property. This phenomenon is also observed in the field of animal husbandry. Regarding the endowment with agricultural machinery, we can observe that land owners did not have sufficient financial resources to purchase different machinery, which influenced negatively the farming technology for plant cultivation and the animal husbandry sector. Other relevant matters such as agricultural land division led to the apparition of a very high number of small plots territorially dispersed, which could not allow crop rotation and using high-tech technologies, with a high mechanization and automation of agricultural labour. All these aspects have had negative consequences on crop production level, which was unstable during last years, on crop structure, leading to the disappearance of some crop varieties from farmers' fields, which was mainly replaced by the maize culture and also to an insignificant number of agricultural associations and a decreasing number of farm animals. An important factor was the implementation of a system of subsidies for farmers after Romania's accession to the European Union, which has led to the agricultural production development and reorganisation in Botoşani County. Taking into account of all these aspects, the survey has been shown the most important changes produced in the agriculture of Botoşani County after 1990. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The survey aims to elaborate managerial strategies concerning the optimisation of agricultural units from Botoşani County, by attracting European funds. At present, the common agricultural policy (CAP) represents a complex system of subsidies and other financial incentives built on two pillars and it takes nearly half of the common European Union's budget. The firs pillar concerns greener and more equitable measures in the area of market support. The second pillar concerns rural development measures and concentrates on the harmonious development of rural areas, including activities diversifying, product quality increase and environment protection. In the actual context, the Romanian farmers need to adapt to the world economic reality, to adopt new technical and economic methods for having a good economic stability and economic efficiency and to produce according to the European market standards. The European funds absorption for agriculture and rural development is closely linked to the activity of the Agency for Paying and Intervention for Agriculture, which is carried out on three main directions, concentrating on support measures financed both by the national budget and the European funds. The survey's authors have proposed to emphasize the strategies that could contribute to the ensuring of private agricultural units efficient development through the European funds absorption, based on a case study at S.C.MULTIAGRA S.R.L. Vlăsineşti from Botosani County. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The paper proposes is to analyze the current situation and prospects of the Romanian agricultural and rural economy and to recommend actions to reduce potential risks of fully integration of Romanian agricultural economy in the rural economy of the European Union. This paper tries to provide an updated the agricultural diagnosis and rural development in Romania and assess the global implications on the rural economy diversification and create new jobs. The subject includes theoretical addressing agricultural management system and characteristics of the studied phenomena, directed and coordinated contemporary management. Recent research shows that changes in agriculture and rural development are reflected in the economic downturn, the occurrence of demographic problems (increased distances between work and home, low rural population), changes in social structure, refocusing on value systems, pressures arising ecosystems, destruction of cultural heritage areas, and reducing income disparity, changing habitat preferences (second homes in the village). Integrating agriculture into the market economy, technical and economic modernization is done with great difficulty due to various reasons: lack of capital and a well organized credit system, inadequate material resources, dependence on upstream prices due to high input sites industrial and agricultural nature, but also downstream, and following the disruption of agricultural contracting system.

In Romania, the archaic village was and it is ontological evoked, if not for its exclusive existence form then certainly for its admiring and preferred form. A fundamental reality that was verified in time and space has been forgotten: "many peasants, a lot of scarcity". Committing such a mistake, Romanians ended up glorifying and venerating the bareness that the providence requites. The Romanians did not have the possibility, and consequently neither the vocation of modernizing the social structures. In 1901, the United Kingdom had only 9% of labor force in agriculture, while in Romania it is still deplored the depopulation of the villages after the Second World War, in a primitive structure with 80% peasants. At the beginning of the XVIth century, Thomas Morus said about the United Kingdom that it is the country "where the sheep eats people". It was the time when the depopulation of the English village has occurred, with the specific shocks of any modernization, but which has transformed the United Kingdom in the first world industrialized power. The reality is that the most important modernization of the housing stock of the Romanian village took place during the communist period. Today, more than 70% of the living fund in the Romanian villages was allocated during the period of 1948-1989. However, it is not the case of the villages inhabited by Swabians and Saxons, some of the villages inhabited by Hungarians and some of the villages inhabited by Romanians, which are located in Marginimea Sibiului, from Tara Fagarasului and North Bucovina.

Worldwide, agriculture has become intensive with an increased specialization of farms and regions. By increasing the productive capacity of soil and crop yields, by using fertilizers and plant protection products, agriculture has reached a stage where it is possible to obtain short term profitability of farms but on a long term, a negative impact on the environment. The main problems encountered are: negative effects on human health, contamination of surface and ground water due to nitrates and phosphates, compaction, soil erosion and degradation of landscape and wildlife habitat as a result of concentration of farms, development of monocultures, dismantling green fences and terraces, wet land drainage, etc. People living near a farm are likely to be exposed to pesticide droplets in the air and the water consumption or contaminated food. In this paper were identified and analyzed the existing main pollutants factors of air in vegetable farms specialized in cereals. To estimate emissions of greenhouse gases in a cereal farm, it was conducted a case study. The main factors identified as agricultural pollutants are: pesticides, odors, smoke, dust, pollen allergen and waste. The existing corn production technology in the focus company emphasizes the minimizing of CO2 emissions. Thus, the dose of chemical fertilizer is determined by soil analysis that is performed annually and the recommendations of specialists. Also, vegetal waste are chopped and incorporated, which significantly reduces the amount of CO2 emissions. The total amount of emissions is estimated at approx. 2.35 tonnes of CO2 per hectare of corn and 0.94 tonnes of CO2 per tonne of corn. Most emissions are from fertilizer, about 56.6% of the total.

If before 1989, Romania was one of the countries with the largest physical size of farms, after 1989 it became one of the countries with the lowest physical size of these holdings. In 2007, the first year after EU accession, the physical size of farms was 3.5 ha, our country being on the penultimate place in the EU 27 (exceeded only Malta whose total area was only 11 000 ha). The opposite stood the Czech Republic, with 89.3 ha per holding. Putting the two former socialist countries on diametrically opposed positions is the following of different applied policy in the transition of agriculture to a market economy. While Romania has pursued restoration of what was formerly in agriculture, in the Czech Republic was considered foreshadowing the future of agriculture. Consequently, in Romania has resulted atomization of agricultural holdings and fragmentation of land which exceeds what was about 50-60 years before, in the interwar period and the Czech Republic - a concentration of agricultural holdings land that placed it at the forefront of EU countries. Romania's agricultural policy during the accession to the EU was facing, no doubt, at the enterprise or farm size, measured by the single criterion of land surface in use or existing livestock, some acts showing the orientation sided, narrow and exclusive. Thus, by the provisions of Emergency Ordinance no. 108 / 27 June 2001 on commercial farms, farms are considered only agricultural units which have at least 110 ha of arable land in the plain (ie 50 hectares in hilly area) or 15 cows or 5,000 meat poultry or 100 pigs etc. The criteria for sizing of large, medium or small farms don't have a unified approach to economic theory. However, the most commonly used are the following two criteria established by: the attracted resources in production (in physical units), with reference, first, on the average size of holdings land and, secondly, at livestock, tractors and agricultural machinery and other elements of the production factors; the results achieved (expressed in physical or monetary units), with reference to the quantities of final products or proceeds. The literature, in the majority inclined to physical parameters or reflects the inputs or results. In Galati, characteristic of farms distribution by physically class size, is very large share of farms under 5 ha - 97.23% of all farms in the southern of Galati county, against 96.57% in the county of Galati and higher share of holdings with 50 and over 50 hectares - 0.88% against 0.56% in Galati county. The authors have proposed, using a case study, to highlight the common agricultural policy impact on physical and economic size of farms in the southern of Galati county. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The analysis of agricultural structures and projection optimal size is a necessity in rural areas of prime importance for the Romanian agriculture, both as a theoretical issue and practical implications of this phenomenon, regarding the current state of agriculture in the NE region and increased plots properties. The problem of determining optimal land structures is present in Romania, even after seventh land reform, when instead of merged land mass; it was sprayed, under the concept of constitution and reconstitution of the property in about 48 million parcels. In addition, it appears that households made (according to Law 18/1991, from 0.5 to 10 ha on average 2.5 ha) is unsustainable. Creating viable farms with medium size, after model and methods from Western European countries, in Romania is more difficult because there was the "tradition" that every land reform have mission to destroy accumulation of land, as happened particularly in land reform in 1945 (which destroyed large and medium reservoirs farms), land reform for cooperatives from 1949 to 1962 (which destroyed reservoirs farms) and finally the land reform of 1990 to 1991 (which destroyed the collections made in the agricultural cooperatives and inter-cooperative associations).

Using and developing models to simulate the operation of the farm is a tradition and a very extensive practice both in Romania and abroad. This paper addresses the adjustment of agricultural sector development strategy NE region of Romania, and national level, common agricultural policies, government support measures for supporting agriculture and ways to improve the structural reform of agriculture in international integration processes. Also described are the main indicators characterizing the technical and economic analysis of agricultural holdings and to solve a problem of optimizing the size of a farm. Knowledge of national and EU funding for agriculture and rural development, the advantages and constraints that apply to CAP uniform throughout the Community, the requirements of the new CAP reforms in line with market developments, are issues that require constant adjustment of management actions, circumscribed the ultimate goal of all activities, namely the increase of agricultural holdings and thus farmers' incomes.

Creating a performing management in agriculture, as in any branch of the national economy is possible only knowing the perfect evolution of various economic and financial phenomena during a year of activity, their variation from the provisions and the dynamic evolution. Based on these data, corrective measures of the negative findings can be determined and extending the positive ones, to raise to a top speed the return of all financial and economic activities of farms, at the level of competitiveness imposed by the requirements and the market economic demands. Such competence can be gained through economic and financial analysis on the farm activities. Theoretically, the economic and financial analysis, study the methodology of financial and economical knowledge of the agricultural enterprise, the factors and causes that caused it, and internal reserves to improve results through more efficient use of available resources. Basically, economic and financial analysis tool acts as a scientific research of farms. It is equally a diagnostic function - helping to highlight various economic and financial results in terms of causal relations that have determined the stage requirements, and also a control function - helping to improve these results. The study was conducted in S.C. AGRO INTERNATIONAL S.R.L Galati, who owns a farm specialized in raising dairy cows located in the Braniştea village, Galati county, and was based on the following system of indicators: -total expenditure by category of animal; production cost and selling prices; total revenue and grants, by category of animals; net profit and net return rate on total farm activity; gross profit and gross return rate on total farm activity; gross profit and gross return rate on types of activities (operating activities, financing activities and exceptional activity); gross profit and gross return rate on organizational structure; gross profit and gross return rate on various products.

Tourism represents today, undoubtedly one of the phenomenon's which dominates the contemporary world, one of the most profitable segments, of the global economy, unique, in its dynamics, multiple motivations and great variety of ways of manifestation. The aim of the paper is to present a general overview of the NE Region area regarding the touristic development, to show how were blended the physical and economic-geographical factors, to emphasize factitive the geographical landscape evolution as a result of the interaction of the genetic factors, to highlight the positive and negative action of the human on the natural frame and of tourism and to propose measures for systematization of the NE Region territory. The touristic arrangement of the NE Region area in Romania has an existence of over 100 years. Numerous associations and touristic pensions occurred since the period of the end of XIX century; they had outstanding contributions at equipping the NE Region tourist area. Gradually in the times until the December 1989, these actions were limited because of the prohibition of accommodation of foreign tourists to privates, being only few exceptions. The purpose of this study is to examine how the indicators which quantify the NE Region agro tourism Romania, aiming to eliminate weaknesses and strengths potentiation. In this sense it was the fact that, starting and running agro business requires a capital investment. For this reason, starting investment is preceded by a careful justification of expenditures, whether they are intended for new targets, or for improvement or interior and exterior refurbishments. The authors have proposed that assess the efficiency and effectiveness of agro-tourism activities to be completed by a budget analysis and a feasibility study. To define the nature of income, the results of different activities (agricultural, tourism, services, etc..) Will establish a budget revenue and expenditure showing the sources of revenue and cost of resources used. From this point of view, it will evaluate the annual receipts of tourists and the seasons, prices and costsprovided. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The assurance of alimentary security in Romania requests the allowance of necessary funds for the revitalizing of the agriculture, which that represents the main source of securing of the food needs of the native population. As member of the European Union, Romania should draw the assigned funds to the development of certain agricultural sectors, out of which the animal husbandry occupies a priority place. Within this context, M.A.P.D.R. has promulgated the Minister's Order number 850/2006, for granting the financial support to the farmers from the field of animal husbandry. The Order stipulates the allowance of some funds as direct financial support, under the following terms: * 0.3 lei/l for the milk delivered to authorized factories; * 1.6 lei /Kg for the broiler chicken having production permit issued by the Sanitary Veterinary Direction (D.S.V.) and which are slaughtered in slaughter houses authorized by D.S.V.; * 100 lei/bovine, on condition that the farmer owns at least three adult bovines; * 100 lei/pork carcass of E class, on condition that the farmer has a permit issued by D.S.V. and the animals are slaughtered in slaughterhouses authorized by D.S.V.; * 120 lei/pork carcass of U class, under the same condition as mentioned in the previous line. In accordance with the provisions of the Minister's Order number 850/2006, the support granted to the 3348 applications approved in the year 2007 in the field of animal husbandry in Botuşani district, was 8.79 thousand millions lei out of which: • 52.7 % for milk, in accordance with the standards in force; • 45.8 % for farms of broiler chicken breeding; • 1.3 % for bee-keeping; • 0.1% for adult bovines; • 0.12 % for classified pork carcasses. Finally, the authors recommend some measures to stimulate the agricultural producers to apply for structural funds. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
