CORRECTION OF FERTILIZATION AND STAND DENSITY DEPENDING ON WINTER PRECIPITATION AND MINERAL NITROGEN SOIL CONTENT
B. MARINKOVIĆ, J. CRNOBARAC
Faculty of Agriculture, Novi Sad, Serbia and Montenegro
Abstract . At optimal mineral nutrition and plant number, climate and edaphic factors significantly affect the height of yield in a genotype. A long-term trial was established to study the effect of crop density and the distribution of mineral nitrogen (N) down the soil profile on yields of maize. According to the amount, pre-growing season precipitation was divided as follows: low (up to 191 l/m 2), mean (192-291 l/m 2) and high (over 292 l/m 2). Data related to weather conditions and yields were processed by multiple 'Stepwise’ linear regression using adapted determination coefficients (R-Assisted). The effect of significant factors on yields was analyzed using path-coefficients. Data concerning mineral N and yields were processed using the same analysis as well as multiple polynomial regressions. The height of yield has been shown to be significantly affected by winter precipitation (in June, July and August), the distribution of N down the profile, and crop density. The percentage contribution of these parameters to the total variability was 92.6 and 93.7. Winter precipitation and the distribution of N should therefore be used for determining optimal density and N fertilization.

Slovak University of Agriculture, Nitra, Slovak Republic
Abstract . Plant biomass is one of the energy resources, which contains much of the advantages of renewable energy resources that are possible to saturate mankind energy requirements nowadays. The aim of the research paper is to evaluate the biomass accumulation potential of fast growing basket willow (Salix viminalis L.) cultivated for energy purposes on human planted plantation. The experiment was realized in the four-year period (2000 – 2003) of the agri-ecological conditions analysis for growing of different basket willow varieties at the Experimental Base of Slovak University of Agriculture in Nitra (Slovak Republic). The influence of these factors on dry matter yields of basket willow was reviewing: variety (ORM, RAPP, and ULV), stand organization (arrangement A – double rows = 0.5 m x 0.75 m or 1.25 m; arrangement B = 0.5 m x 0.75 m) and growing season (2000 – 2003). There can be determined an order between different basket willow varieties for cultivation in the warm south Slovakia conditions: 1. ULV: 54.1 t.ha -1; e.g. average of dry matter yield accumulated after four-year cultivation cycle; 2. ORM: 44.0 t.ha -1; 3. RAPP: 25.4 t.ha -1. From the stand organization point of view better results were achieved in the arrangement B (43.8 t.ha -1) than in arrangement A (38.5 t.ha -1). These are results from second four-year cycle of basket willow cultivation (plantation was planted in 1996). There is possibility for biomass harvests and their evaluation in few more four-years cycles from the stand status and plant health point of view.

Slovak Agricultural University in Nitra, Slovak Republic
Abstract . The aim of the study was to evaluate the influence of reduce and conventional tillage systems on soil moisture dynamics by growing of common pea after spring barley. The field trial was carried out on Ortic Luvisol on silt loess at south west of Slovakia during, 1995-1997. The experimental sites belongs to warm and moderate arid climatic region with long term average precipitation 580 mm and 9.6 ˚C temperature and 173 m altitude. The common pea was growing in following crop rotation: winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) – maize (Zea mays L.) – spring barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) – common pea (Pisum sativum L.). The mouldboard ploughing to the depth 0.2 m with surface cultivation of topsoil with comparison to shallow loosening to the depth 0.1 m and its influence on soil moisture dynamics in six layers has been evaluated. Samples were taken five times per year with tree replication in six layers (each 0.1m thick). The seasonal and spatial dynamics with influence of different soil tillage in some layers has been noted. The better moisture balance was reach in conventional tillage treatment with comparison to reduce one. The significant high moisture content was found out in deeper layer 0.5-0.6 m with comparison to topsoil layer. Seasonal dynamics with influence of weather and growing crops have been ascertained. According three years field trials we confirm no significant differences of soil moisture between conventional tillage and reduced tillage treatments in average. Total average of moisture content under reduced tillage revealed the less infiltration rate with comparison to conventional mouldboard ploughing. The highest variability of soil moisture was induced by date of sampling and soil layer.
QUANTITATIVE-QUALITATIVE PARAMETERS OF MILK THISTLE (SILYBUM MARIANUM / L. / P. GAERTN.) YIELD CULTIVATED IN WARM AGRICLIMATIC MACROREGION
Miroslav Habán, Pavol Otepka
Slovak University of Agriculture, Nitra, Slovak Republic
Abstract . Polyfactorial field experiment was established and investigated during the vegetation periods of 2004 and 2005 at the Dolna Malanta locality (Nitra district, Slovak Republic). This locality is geomorphologically situated in western part of Zitava upland as an independent part of river Danube lowland. From the agriclimatic conditions point of view, this locality belongs to the warm agriclimatic region, dry agriclimatic microregion, and mostly mild winter zone. In the year 2004 yields of milk thistle (Silybum marianum / L. / P. Gaertn.) achenes, e.g. fruits, ranged from 232.9 kg.ha -1 (RMF variant: – incorporated crop residues with intercrop and artificial fertilizers) to 794.5 kg.ha -1 (KBF variant: – without crop residues and intercrop, artificial fertilizers have been used) at the standard humidity (14%). In the year 2005 the yields varied from 554.0 kg.ha -1 (RMO variant: – incorporated crop residues with intercrop, no artificial fertilizers) to 1 480.0 kg.ha -1 (RBO variant – incorporated crop residues without intercrop and artificial fertilizers). From the two-year results of the experiment it is recommended to continue in research of quantitative-qualitative parameters of milk thistle production within different management of cultivation.

*Maize Research Institute, Zemun Polje, Serbia and Montenegro
**Faculty of Agronomy, Cacak, Serbia and Montenegro
Abstract .In this paper present study was to determine the differences in yields of medium late maturity maize hybrids grown with and without the folium under the equal agroecological conditions.Maize hybrid plants grown with the photodegradable folium were taller by 13.3 cm than the plants of the same hybrids grown without the photodegradable folium. Grain yield of hybrid plants grown with the photodegradable folium was higher on the average for all three years by 8.09% than the yield of hybrid plants grown without the photodegradable folium. Only in a favourable year 2001 with a sufficient amount of precipitation during the growing season there were no differences in yields obtained in hybrid plants grown with and without the photodegradable folium. Due to relatively high costs of the folium and its setting the economic justification in the application of the folium could be found in the production of higher categories of maize seed.

Abstract .In these conditions is known that with altitude increase the yield and quality of vegetation carpet is decreasing (about a tone of fresh fodder mass per hectare after 1200 m altitude), but in the same time is increasing the species number of vegetation carpet. They can appreciate for wooded grasslands placed at low altitude levels (100-500m) that altitude increase determinates yield, biodiversity, and quality increase of this kind of grassland. The explanation of this phenomenon is tide by the irrationally, free and extensive use of these grassland, altitude increase is associated with the decrease of grazing pressure, these grassland surfaces being exploited incontinuously, and also because the rainfalls quantity available for this ecosystem is increasing with the altitude.

Abstract . This paper surveys the main effect that the inoculation of white clover seeds with Rhyzobium trifolii strains has against dry matter yield, when we have a mixture made by the following proportions: 40 per cent Trifolium repens and 60 per cent Dactylis glomerata. The bacterial inoculation of white clover from this mixture has increased dry matter yield towards the non-inoculated with clover seeds, with 12.3 % in the first year, 22.3 % in the second year and 14.3 % in the third. In inoculated seeds, under the conditions of nitrogen fertilization, it has been recorded an increasing of white clover proportion in floristic composition of the grassland. In the inoculated mixture the energetic ratio (incomes: outcomes) is 1:47.

Abstract . The article presents a study of the relations and interactions between the Glomus intraradices symbionts and the Rhyzobium sp. bacteria drawn from some species of fodder grass plants (Lotus corniculatus L., Trifolium repens L., and Medicago sativa) under the conditions of an argillic brown soil within the Grassland Research Station, Timisoara, Romania. The purpose of our activity was to detect the best variants of combinations of synergism between symbionts regarding the increase of atmospheric azoth use and obtaining in the future possible biopreparates with these symbionts. Starting from on in vitro model, the symbionts have been aseptically isolated from plants and inoculated in the modified Gamborg culture medium (B 5), without any source of organic nitrogen. The experimental data have shown the existence of some relations of synergism and antagonism between symbionts. Thus, we remarked a close specificity regarding the synergic correlation between Glomus intraradices fungi and Rhyzobium bacteria taken from the same host plant, the correlation coefficients being positive (Glomus GL-Lc 10+ R. loti, r=0.94; GL-Ms 2+ R. meliloti, r=0.98 and Glomus GL-Tr 4+ R. trifolii, r=0.98). In the situations of combinations between symbionts obtained from different plants, we noticed an antagonic relation, slow development rhythm, the correlation coefficients being negative (Glomus GL-Lc 10+ R.loti, r=-0.94; Glomus GL-Lc 10 + R. trifolii, r=-0.75; Glomus GL-Ms 2 + R.loti, r=-0.92; Glomus Gl-Ms 2 + R. trifolii, r=-0.94; Glomus GL-Tr 4 + R.loti, r=-0.83; Glomus GL-Tr 4 = R. meliloti, r=-0.94).

NEW TECHNICAL SOLUTION TO IMPROVE WILDLIFE HABITAT ON SANDY SOIL
Erika BODNÁR
University of Szeged, College of Agriculture, Hódmezővásárhely, Hungary
Abstract . To broaden the choice of hunting facilities several wild-boar parks have been established on territories where not all ecological conditions are given to keep and maintain the species. We carried out the examinations on the Ásotthalom area where the sandy soil and the lack of surface-water resulted in problems in the water supply of wild boars. The adequately sized wallow was lined with plastic film then the pool got a natural-like cover. We obtained water from a well using a solar-cell pump. We have been observing the wallow for three years and now it is proved that this artificial object resists the impacts caused by weather or the animals. When constructing this artificial wallow we endeavoured to prepare it so that it could fit in the landscape and be natural-like.
ECONOMIC EXAMINATION OF BIOGAS GAINED FROM MUNICIPAL WASTE
Tamás MOLNÁR*, László SALLAI**, Dezső FODOR***
*University of Szeged, College of Agriculture, Szeged, Hungary
**ASA. Ltd. Hódmezővásárhely, Hungary
Abstract . The refuse dump of Hódmezővásárhely will provide up-to-date storage and neutralisation for the refuse of the town for 50 years. The storage of the refuse takes place in waste dump by adequate compression. During the storage gases, mainly methane and carbon dioxide are developed due to the biological decomposition. We must prevent these gases to get into the atmosphere as they are involved in the global warming of the Earth and so they may cause changes in the environment. With the regulations getting stricter in the EU where we are going to be members soon it is essential that a refuse dump should have a biogas deflector system in order to protect our environment. A compressor drains gases from the waste material, while another compressor is used for taking the gases to the place where they are used. From utilisation point of view a considerable quantity is developed, which can be diversely utilised.

László Sallai, Tamás Molnár, Dezső Fodor
SZTE MFK, Engineering Department, Hungary
A bstract . The importance of waste treatment is increasing. Environmental aims are the main driving force. Stricter regulations for landfilling to lead to the development of alternative treatment methods for waste, for the agri-mechanical research, animal rearing’s and food-industry’s waste material, the secondary-tertiary biomass, is a highest concern. This technology is versatile and relatively simple to use as a reliable and effective means of producing a gaseous fuel from various organic waste. The most common application has been the digestion of animal dung, agricultural, and food-industrial waste. This was studied by our department in our pilot farm of our Faculty. The 50 dairycow, family sized modelfarm was built in the summer of 1991 as a result of Holland – Hungarian cooperation at the territory of the Faculty. The new pigfarm with 30 sows and the new goatfarm with 100 nannies was given to the Faculty at 25th of April in 2001 was given on the 25th of April of 2001. Trough the livestock data the annual dung production were specified and from the literature calculated the energy by the biogas production coefficient .
Sustainable agricultural systems: production and qualitative parameters
Magdaléna Lacko-Bartošová
Slovak University of Agriculture, Nitra, Slovakia
Abstract .The aim of research work was to design, evaluate and improve the results from two approaches to sustainable farming systems – ecological and integrated. Farming systems were established in the fall of 1990 on brown clay – loamy soil. The altitude of experimental fields is 78 m, average year temperature 9.6 °C and annual precipitation 523 mm. For the evaluation of farming systems agronomic and qualitative parameters were used. Farming system influenced significantly the yields of winter wheat, common pea and maize for silage. Lower yields in ecological system were significant for winter wheat (18.3%) and common pea (8.1%) and higher for maize for silage (19.6%) as compared with integrated system. Effect of fertilizers and FYM was significant for yield of spring barley, maize for silage and Lucerne. Further, the qualitative parameters of winter wheat are evaluated.

Slovak Agricultural University in Nitra, Slovak Republic
Abstract . The aim of this study was to evaluate the crop management practices on biological activity of the soil, soil organic matter and total content of nitrogen in topsoil layer. The field trials were conduced at the Experimental station of Slovak Agricultural University in Nitra, during 2001-2003. The experimental site belongs to warm and moderate arid climatic region in the south-west of Slovakia. The average precipitation is 561 mm, for the growing season 327 mm. Average air temperature is 9.7 oC. The main soil type is Orthic Luvisol with good supply of accessible N, P and K and pH 5.7 in average. Clover (Trifolium pratense L.), winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L), common pea (Pisum sativum L.), maize (Zea mays L.), spring barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) were under different residue management practices. Three fertilization management practices: 0-zero level without organic or inorganic fertilization, respectively, F- mineral fertilizer calculated to the designed yield level, PR – incorporating all above-ground plant material as a source of organic matter plus mineral fertilizer for the balance equilibrium level. Reduced tillage to the depth 0.10-0.12m + surface cultivation has been used. Plots were divided into subplots (11x40m) and were subjected to fertilization treatments with four replications. The soil samples were collected from the 0.075m topsoil layer three times (spring: 2-3 weeks after sowing, summer: 2 days before harvest, autumn: 2 nd decade of September). The soil samples were incubated at 28 oC, and soil basal respiration was measured in 3-4 days intervals. Significantly higher level of basal respiration and flux of carbon dioxide from unfertilized zero treatments (30 mg/1000g/day) pointed out the threat of soil organic matter pool from long term perspective. Basal respiration and organic C content were influenced by growing crop. The treatments with incorporation of crop and post harvest residues reflect positive condition for balance of organic C content by medium level of soil basal respiratory activity.

Abstract . Two–year study was carried out at three locations: Zemun; Guča and Srbobran, involving nine potato cultivars: Adora, Jaerla, Cleopatra, Latona, Liseta (early to medium-early cultivars); and Frisia, Kondor, Desiree, Morene (medium–late to late cultivars). The method of field experiments was used in the different ecological conditions and on different soil types in Zemun (100 m above sea level; slightly calcareous chernozem), Guča (370 m above sea level; pseudo–clay), and Srbobran (86 m above sea level; chernozem). Mean monthly temperature and precipitation were observed during vegetation season. At the end of vegetation season, the total yield of tubers and yield of marketable potatoes including all healthy and non–damaged tubers heavier then 70 g. were examined. In addition we examined average number of tubers per plant and average tuber mass too. Average yields achieved in 2001, were significantly different from yields achieved in 2000. The best total yield was achieved at locality Zemun in 2001, with Morene, late potato cultivar. The highest yield of marketable potatoes was shown by cultivar Cleopatra obtained in Zemun in 2001. The highest average number of tubers per plant was found for the cultivars Desiree, Morene and Latona.

Gheorghe Valentin ROMAN, Elena NISTOR, Maria TOADER
Agricultural and Veterinary University, Bucureşti, România
Abstract .In exploiting the various forms of land and natural resources, including in agriculture, our responsibility towards the future generations must be taken into account, as an ethical component pertaining to the future. Technologies must diminish their impact on the environment, natural ecosystems must be less influenced by agricultural activities, and biological diversity must be preserved and developed by: rational agricultural production, diversified biological agricultural technologies, economic efficiency, adequate agricultural production and processing techniques, efficient food quality management, sensible and trustworthy decision-making worldwide. Modern technology of food production and processing raises a wide ranging debate about the sources, users, and purpose of food and its unique role in the society, as global commodity, and core part of local human societies. In the efforts to change the food type, place and production mode, organic agriculture will provide one means that enables humankind to start cleaning up and improving the environment, as well as preserving biodiversity – a finite world resource of economic and ethical value for humankind, whose reserves are being eroded or lost for perpetuity by unsustainable practices. Therefore, one of today’s critical challenges is the conservation of biological diversity, and the sustainable use of biodiversity components for the benefit of humankind

Abstract . This study follows the development of some corn cultures onto artificial polluted soils with zinc salts, comparatively with polluted soils and amended with pillared volcanic tuff with clinpotilolite containing high polynuclear aluminium salts – cage type. Experimental period took place during two years, soil pollution degree being near alertlevel in first year, for less sensible soils (670 mg Zn/kg d.s.), and 3.5-4 times greater. Plants tolerate in both cases searched pollution level. But, they current different bioaccumulation levels depend on vegetative organ and phenophases. Amendment of polluted soils determinates essential changes of zinc bioavailability in soil, and the consequence is decreasing of zinc concentration up to 3 times in roots and aerial parts. Zinc bioaccumulation rate in grains is 20-25 % greater in polluted soils, but quantity of bioaccumulated zinc is not dangerous for their use in animal food.

Abstract . In two locations of the Timisoara city, differentiated by the traffic’s intensity, during March-May 2005, the zinc and lead accumulation in two corticolous lichen species, Physcia aipolia and Xanthoria parietina was studied. The trees these two species were identified on were: Populus canadensis, Prunus pisardi, Acer platanoides and Populus alba. The corticolous lichen species accumulate similar zinc quantities regardless the studied location. In the case of lead, the Physcia aipolia species accumulates in both locations a significantly greater quantity (p≤0.05) compared to Xanthoria parietina, positively correlated with the intensity of the traffic.

THE EVOLUTION OF PEDOFAUNA DYNAMICS IN SOILS FERTILIZED WITH COMPOSTED SLUDGE AND IRRIGATED WITH USED WATERS RESULTED FROM ANIMAL BREEDING COMPLEXES
Mădălina IORDACHE, Iacob BORZA
Agricultural and Veterinary University of the Banat, Timişoara, România
Abstract .The composting of different materials resulting from industrial processes or zootechnic complexes is a main problem concerning the removal of these residues. The zootechnic sludge represents a more difficult question, because besides the detergents used for the cleaning of boxes (used water), a high number of pathogenic agents accumulate too. The composting is a biological process (brought by bacteria and fungi) and maintained by other organisms – link of the trophic chain in the newly formed biocoenosis. This paper presents some aspects concerning the secondary decomposing fauna in soils fertilized with composted sludge and irrigated with used waters from zootechnic complexes.

Agricultural and Veterinary University of the Banat, Timişoara, România
Abstract .Between the representative invertebrates involved in maintaining soil fertility, the lumbricids are the most important. Their spreading and development in soil depend on a few factors (1), more significant being the quantity of organic matter which constitutes their food source, the degree of soil disturbance by tillage and the type of culture plant. The paper presents the influence of these factors on lumbricids activity, organisms which can constitute an alternative for mineral fertilization.

A CALCULUS METHOD OF THE INFLUENCE OF WATER REGIME ON THE HEAT CAPACITY OF GREENHOUSE SOIL
Feodor FILIPOV, Octavian TOMIŢĂ, Marius CĂLIN
The „Ion Ionescu de la Brad” Agricultural and Veterinary University, Iaşi, România
Abstract . The heat capacity is an extensive soil property because its value depends both on the specific heat and the soil mass or volume. The heat capacity value is influenced by the unchangeable soil properties (e.g. texture), slightly changeable ones (e.g. humus content), and variable soil properties (e.g. water and air volume). In the paper is proposed a calculation method to estimate the influence of soil’s water content on the heat capacity value. Knowing this influence is important in making a decision on the most appropriate irrigation technology to be used, especially during cold seasons.

Abstract .The paper presents the influence of the conventional ploughing tillage system in comparison with the alternative minimum tillage system (disc harrow, rotary harrow, paraplough and chisel plough) upon the preluvosol vertic soil physical and chemical properties. The use of minimum soil tillage systems within a three years rotation: maize, soy-bean and wheat favourites the rise of the aggregates hydro stability with 2.2-5.5% on 0-10 cm, 3.3-11.8% on 10-20 cm and 3.6-10.4% on 20-30 cm depth. Soil minim tillage modifies the bulk densityand penetration resistance, but these modifications are within optimal limits of the soil type. Paraplough and chisel plough soil tillage, by intensity reduction, reduction of soil loose intensity and rest of vegetables incorporation at the soil surface, determines the humus contains to grow with 0.35 – 0.51% and soil permeability growing for water. Minimum soil tillage doesn’t modify significantly the soil reaction and NPK contain in the arable stratum, but determines the stratification of those at the surface of the soil.

Abstract . In this paper we present a few behavioural features of the feeding and defecating, resting and sleeping, as well as body care in bovines kept in farm system, tied on a single line, during winter stable periods. As biological material, we used cows of the Brună breed belonging to some households in Vârfurile (County of Arad), a hill area with medium yielding natural pastures. Results show that caring for bovines in this system allows a better valorising of roughage and succulents (particularly potatoes and pumpkins) and subsequently satisfactory milk yields. The defecating and the resting behaviours are optimal, in accordance with body’s demands.

Abstract . Actual and potential dehydrogenase and acid phosphatase activities were determined in the 0–10–, 10–20– and 20–30–cm layers of a brown luvic soil submitted to a complex tillage and crop rotation experiment. Each activity in both non-tilled and conventionally tilled soil under crops of both rotations decreased with increasing sampling depth. It was found that no-till – in comparison with conventional tillage – resulted in significantly higher soil enzymatic activities in the 0–10– and 10–20–cm layers and in significantly lower activities in the deeper layers. The soil under wheat or maize was more enzyme-active in the 6– than in the 2–crop rotation. In the 2–crop rotation, higher enzymatic activities were registered under maize than under wheat, excepting acid phosphatase activity. In the 6–crop rotation, higher enzymatic activities were registered under wheat, excepting actual dehydrogenase activity.

Abstract . The effect of weed control (interrow cultivation with and without hoeing - untreated control and seven herbicide mixtures) in tobacco fields was evaluated on three types of soil in Croatia during 2001-2003. The total weed biomass was significantly higher (P<0.01) in all localities in 2002 that was more humid than the extremely dry 2003. In untreated control the dominant species in the total weed biomass were the annual grass weed Echinochloa crus-galli (L.) PB. with 75% on sandy loam (SL), 25% on pseudogleyic (P), and the smallest share of 9% on eutric cambisol (EC). Dominant annual broad-leaved weeds were Amaranthus retroflexus L., Chenopodium album L., Portulaca oleracea, Polygonum lapathifolium L. on (SL), and on (EC) among the most abundant weed populations were Ambrosia artemisiifolia L., Abutilon theophrasti Med. and perennial species Sorghum halepense (L.) Pers. and Convolvulus arvensisL. Herbicide variants 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, and 7 reduced well (84-99.6%) the biomass of the annual grass weeds Echinochloa crus-galli (L.) PB. and Setaria glauca (L.) PB. The efficacy of herbicide mixtures in reducing the biomass of annual broad-leaved weeds varied more significantly in different localites and years of investigation (58-98.7%). Regarding the total efficacy in reducing the total weed biomass, the herbicide variants were ranked as follows: 1, 7, 3, 2, 4, 6 and 5.

Abstract .According to an investigation of floristic composition and the structure of weed community of the apple plantation in the region of Sarajevo, it was found the total of 28 weed species. The characteristic group of the community was made of total of 7 species. Studies of vegetation dynamics of weed sinuosity in apple orchards with intensive production in the Sarajevo region have demonstrated that the production area in these orchards can be divided into two microdomiciles, such as: a microdomicile in the rows (under the fruit tress), and a microdomicile between the rows of fruit tress. The microdomiciles were established trough studies of agrophytocoenoses and anthropomeras. They have been represented with high abundance and cover degree, therefore creating the main mass of weeds in the plantation. Weed community had a therophytic character with significant presence of hemicryptophytes and slightly lower representation of geophytes. Weed–ruderal species were more represented than the weed species, while the contribution of meadow and ruderal species was the lowest. Weed community of apple orchard was analyzed as two separate parts: row and spacing area. Significant differences between those two producing spaces were established, especially in the floristic composition both in qualitative and the quantitative sense. The highest similarity in floristic composition was detected between whole weed community and the part of weed community developed in rows. The lowest floristic similarity was found between weed community in the row zone and the spacing area.

Slovak Agricultural University, Nitra, Slovak Republic
Abstract .The objectives of this study were to investigate the influence of an ecological and integrated farming system on development of actual weed infestation. In our experiment were analyzed crop conditions and weed infestation of crops and their dependence of different manuring and fertilizing methods. Field experiments were established at the Slovak Agricultural University Research Station Dolná Malanta on brown clay-loamy soil in 1992. The actual weed infestation was evaluated during eight years, from 1998 till 2005, by standard methods common used by EWRS: a) numerous method; b) numerous-weight method. In integrated system as a weed regulation techniques were used chemical treatments and cultural methods, while in ecological only cultural and mechanical ones. According to the achieved results it is evident, that the farming system showed higher influence on development of actual weed infestation and weed species diversity, which points higher weed infestation and species diversity in ecological than in integrated system. In integrated agricultural system and cereal crops dominant weed species were (according to the level of infestation): Cirsium arvense, Stellaria media, Medicago sativa, Cardaria draba, Tripleurospermum perforatum, Chenopodium album, Convolvulus arvensis, Thlaspi arvense, Capsella bursa pastoris, Lamium purpureum, Avena fatua, Persicaria maculosa, Amaranthus retroflexus. In ecological system dominant weed species were: Tripleurospermum perforatum, Chenopodium album, Cardaria draba, Capsella bursa pastoris, Cirsium arvense, Lamium amplexicaule, Lamium purpureum, Thlaspi arvense, Stellaria media, Galium aparine, Polygonum aviculare. Contamination of live environment in integrated agricultural system and herbicide costs lead as to idea to grow agricultural crops by using only cultural, preventive and mechanical weed regulation methods, the same as in ecological system. This claim is feasibly only in cereal crops infested by low and middle infestation level.

Agricultural and Veterinary University of the Banat, Timişoara, România
Abstract .The attack by the main warehouse pests, attack intensity, the number of generations, etc., depend on the temperature and moisture conditions as well as on the treatments applied in the warehouse. Each type of barn or warehouse ensures more or less optimal conditions for preservation. We noticed that modern silos are the only ones that can give good results from the point of view of proper seed preservation. Warehouse control should be done on a systematic basis. In this paper we present data concerning the infestation with pest species found in 13 warehouses in the County of Timis. As a result of laboratory analyses we identified the following pests: Tribolium confusum, Sitophilus granaries, Sitotroga cerealella, and Mus musculus, with weak to strong attacks.

Agricultural and Veterinary University of the Banat, Timişoara, România
Abstract . The behaviour of the nectarine peach cultivars and hybrids points out their very good resistance to moniliosis and also a very significant low attack degree in most cultivars and hybrids compared to the Romamer 2 control. Results also point out a good usage of technology elements in the application of treatments that have been made with systemic fungicides in alternance with contact ones, which contributed to the limiting of the attack or even to its lack. To note the Norton 609-1, Durbin Nectarine, Suntree Nectarine, May Fire cultivars, and the 1+F sR 3P 2 hybrid
BIOLOGICAL SPECIALIZATION OF BLUMERIA GRAMINIS F. SPEC. TRITICI (D.C.) SPEER CAUSING POWDERY MILDEW IN WHEAT

**Station of Agricultural Research and Development Lovrin, County of Timiş, România
Abstract .Biological specialization of Blumeria graminis fungus is concretized through 11 “special forms” and more than 70 physiologic races, intraspecific units generated by a trophic base formed from 9838 angiosperm species that are owned by 1617 plant genera. The most spread physiological races are those that attack Pm1 and Pm8 resistance genes. Alex, Arieşan, Boema, Crina, Ciprian, Delabrad, Farmec, G.K. Othalom, Izvor, Partizanka, Lovrin 34, Bezostaia, Flamura 85, Turda 95, and Turda 2000 wheat varieties are sensitive to those races; for production varieties, if those genes lose their vertical action can determinate an partial resistance. Physiological races with complementary structure for Pm2, Pm3, and Pm5 genes have an average frequency an are attributed to Ardeal, Renan, Fundulea 4, Dropia and Holda wheat varieties, determining a medium resistance, which can be provided by minor genes with medium activity. Bercsy, Dor, Falnic, Gloria and Gruia wheat varieties proved to be resistant because of vertical action of Pm2b and Pm4 genes or because of the new Pm1a and Pm8a oligogenes, and possible because of the action of a minor gene. Biological specialization through intraspecific structures appeared into Blumeria graminis f.sp. tritici species (as f.sp. and physiologic race) results from the great genetic plasticity of the fungus, and creates great difficulties to the plant breeders during the realization of a genetic control of powdery mildew as therapy through resistance genes; in this way we recommend cultivation of resistant varieties mentioned before.

**S.C. Prodagro Vest S.R.L., Arad , România
Abstract . We present the results of the research made on the implication of no-tillage culture system and crops rotation over the O.N. Hb attack on corn from Vinga Field. It has resulted that because of the lack of soil till and the maintenance of the vegetal residues on the soil, there appear elements that favour the transition from one year to another and the growth of the insects if the environmental factors are favourable to the population. The frequency of the attack has had a tendency to rise in the no-tillage monoculture system, but as far as the annual dynamics is concerned, only in the third year of no-tillage system implementation has there been achieved a superior level of growth (51.67%), unlike the average (40.0%). The insect attack was appreciated within the limits of average values: 17.33-33.44% frequency of attack, 4.83-5.18% intensity of attack, and 0.93-1.66% degree of attack. The crop rotation contributed to a significant decrease of the frequency of attack.

LOGISTICAL ASPECT OF THE HUNGARIAN CEREAL PRODUCTION
Károly BODNÁR
University of Szeged, College of Agriculture, Hódmezővásárhely, Hungary
Abstract .The ratio of cereals in the land under arable crops has increased continuously from the ’90s in Hungary. The yield is greatly variable first of all due to the extreme changing of weather. The grains produced in the last two years were 200 % of the Hungarian consumption. The decreasing or maybe stagnant poultry and pig stocks of the country make the situation worse. The most serious problem is the delivery and storage of the stock. The intervention system of the cereal market means partial solution for the reduction and place of stock. The agricultural sector struggles with further logistical problems on the field of delivery. There are significant differences among the distances of transportation by different modes for the same cost. The position of Hungarian producers and the commercial firms is disadvantageous in the competition because of the transport charges.

This phenomenon should not worry as most of these concepts and practices have appeared recently and they need time to “settle”.
VIEW OF EMPLOYERS AT EU LEVEL ON AN ENVIRONMENTAL DIMENSION TO AGRO-INDUSTRIAL RELATION
József GÁL
University of Szeged, College of Agriculture, Hódmezővásárhely, Hungary
Abstract .One of the most important parts of European Union politics is the protection of our environment. We have to survey the reaction of employers how to use experts to develop the environmental strategy like part of strategy of companies. They must follow the rules, directives of EU, but have to find the best practice.How do companies think about environmental protection? Is it a duty for them or more? Can it be a type of mission? Nowadays we can certify it is demand and farms, agro-companies have to answer. Working according to the spirit of it prefer positive aspects, preventive protection our rural area for our future. EU offers a frame only, but local activity is necessary. Agro-industry has special situation therefore special job. Bio-organic agriculture can offer new jobs, but needs special knowledge so decrease number of unemployment. For instance we have to speak about statutory provisions and collective bargaining in European countries. In my paper I would like to find some answer in our region.

Abstract .Environmental concern of industry and agriculture has started to reshape the landscape of Central- and Eastern European countries. The demands and influences of the environmental movement change our life. This situation offers different ways therefore you have to find the best way to save it for the future. The problem is to know, how we can build into the strategy of the enterprise. Can it be in the focus and possible to take marketing-mix around it? Environmental market is been developing in Central- and Eastern Europe, therefore its terminology has not been fixed. Against this situation it is possible to develop alternatives, in which marketing is very important part. Demands of customers pull the environment friend products and services. It joins to the acceptance of higher price. On these bases how we can understand and require manifesting environmentally based marketing strategy? I would like to write about scope, measure, manage of it. I mention the regional special element of it.
THE LEADER PROGRAMME AS A SPECIAL POSSIBILITY OF DEVELOPING SOCIAL CAPITAL IN RURAL AREAS
Krisztián KIS
University of Szeged, College of Agriculture, Hódmezővásárhely, Hungary
Abstract . Rural development is a complex activity in which we intervene in the development of rural areas regarding the criteria of sustainability on community and micro regional level. An important aspect during the development that it is not the territory that has to be developed but it is the people, the community that must be given a chance for economic and social development. An innovative solution is offered by the LEADER programme, which was established and launched by the EU in 1991, whose main feature is local partnership based on synergy and co-operation. Local partnership is a socio-economic structure element formed through the connections among the local actors (personal and institutional). This network is the base of the creation and utilisation of the social capital. Social capital as a non-material resource existing in society and as one of the rural resources plays a significant role in the economic and social development and improvement of rural areas. In my lecture I want to present the connection between social capital and rural development as well as the role of social capital in rural development through the LEADER programme which has a method different from that of the “classical” rural development programmes.
THE RELEVANCE OF BIOTECHNOLOGY IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF FUNCTIONAL FOODS FOR IMPROVED NUTRITIONAL AND HEALTH QUALITY IN DEVELOPING COUNTRIES
Milan BIBERDŽIC*, Saša BARAĆ**
*Faculty of Agriculturae, Lesak , Serbia and Montenegro
**Faculty of Agronomy, Cacak , Serbia and Montenegro
Abstract .The quality of food and food plants can be modified and optimized to meet the nutritional and health needs of at-risk and compromised populations prevalent in most of the developing countries. High rates of malnutrition, infectious disease as well as diet-related diseases such as diabetes and hypertension are prevalent in many developing countries. These are as a result of compromised immune function, inadequate sources of nutritious and quality foods and limited access to healthy and suitable foods. Biotechnology and genetic modification techniques have been proposed and applied for the improvement of the quality of various food crops. These have typically been geared towards increasing yields and pest resistance of cash crops. There is considerably less emphasis however, toward improving quality with regard to fortification or functionality of foods and food plants. Functional foods have nutritional and physiological benefits and are applicable in disease prevention and management. The application of biotechnology techniques for the development of functional food plants with higher levels of bioactive components or increased availability of nutrients would greatly benefit most populations in developing countries and improve the health and nutritional status overall.

Abstract . The development of the self-knowledge capacity of the pupils is one of the fundamental goals of education. As far as the orientation towards career is concerned, self-knowledge is the basis of the entire process. Self-knowledge is the investigation process oriented towards one’s own self (self-annalysis) in order to obtain knowledge and by this a self-image through self-observation. In order to be objective its data must be reported to the opinions and appreciations of the others and to the results of one’s own activity. Self-knowledge becomes possible in adolescence, contributinf to the formation of a self-conscience and of the ego.

Abstract . In this paper we present the results of an analysis of the main elements that make up the portrait of an “efficient” teacher; these elements are not analysed isolated, but through the prism of the way in which they interact or overlap with the psychic and social, intellectual, and emotional environment in which the professor works. Based on a research carried out on 120 subjects (elementary, secondary school, high-school students), we tried to establish in what measure pedagogic skills are defining in educating the young generation. The basic conclusion drawn from the study is that didactic skill is extremely complex and important in defining an efficient teacher, but that it is differently perceived depending on the stage of educational process.

Résumé .Dans le langage scientifique du domaine vétérinaire on utilise un lexique spécialisé, qui contient des termes scientifiques, mais aussi des mots du langage courant, étant données les spécificités de la communication entre le groupe des scientifiques vétérinaires, celui des médecins vétérinaires et le groupe d’éleveurs. Le dernier groupe utilise plutôt des mots du vocabulaire fondamental, du champ sémantique des animaux domestiques, des mots qui deviennent parfois des termes scientifiques dans des contextes scientifiques de la littérature vétérinaire francophone. Cette étude aborde l’analyse contrastive des noms des animaux de l’espèce bovine, en insistant sur les divergences. Les convergences des deux terminologies proviennent dans beaucoup de cas des étymologies communes, du latin.
