The species has the advantage that it can withstand low winter temperatures in the Transylvanian Plain, up to -25º C in soil covered with snow. Another major advantage of the species is that from its total mass, the plant foliage prevails which provides feedstock production materials for medicinal purposes. In the research conducted in 2011-2012 in the experimental field of Jucu were pursued issues regarding morphology, biology and plant phenology as well as productivity elements and finally the production of herba which can be done by the species in two periods of planting and three densities. It was cultivated a local population through seedling in two periods (26.04.2011 and 21.05.2011) at densities of 47 619 plants/ha (30 cm x 70 cm), 35 714 plants/ha (40 cm x 70 cm) and 28 517 plants/ha (50 cm x 70 cm). The experiences location was done by the method of subdivided parcels with 2 factors (time and planting density) in three repetitions. The surface of the experimental plot was 3 m2. Statistical interpretation was made by variance analysis method with one, two, and three factors and interpretation of the results, highlighting the significance of differences after the multiple comparisons test (Duncan test) and Student test. From measurements made ​​at green plants it resulted that leaves represent a significant share of 37.98% of the total mass of the plant, 30.8% branches, main stem 10.44% and 20.78% inflorescences . If dried plant leaves have the highest share from the total plant of 35.89%, followed by branches (25.75%), flowers (19.04%) and 19.32% stems. The results justify the extension of the cultivation of this plant in the Transylvanian Plain, harvested herba with an important phytotherapy value.","PeriodicalId":9362,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin of University of Agricultural Sciences and Veterinary Medicine Cluj-Napoca.

For mycorrhizal colonization of Festuca rubra plant, climatic factors play a small role, from this consideration is necessary to identify the dose and type of fertilizer to ensure the stability in time of colonization parameters.

Application of fertilizer will cause changes in the chemical composition of the plant and will increase the palatability, decreasing the denials. One should apply fertilizers taking into account the way of exploitation of the grassland. If the grasslands are grazed, much of the nutrients return into the meadow by manure, fattening being more important than on mowed lawns where all the nutrients taken from plants are exported. The aim of this paper was to assess the influence of organic and mineral fertilizers upon semi-natural grassland’s plant diversity on different soil types. The research was carried out in Apuseni Mountains, in an experimental field with one experience with organic fertilizers ( T1 control, T2 10 t ha-1manure, T3 20 t ha-1 manure, T4 30 t ha-1 manure ) .

The results showed that the largest quantities of mineral fertilizers generated a considerable decrease of plant diversity. For future management actions that are meant to maintain plant diversity in Apuseni Mountains, the organic fertilization with 10 t ha-1 manure quantities administrated annually or once on two years.

The research was conducted during 2008-2010 in the Vădeni area, Braila County, on four varieties of spring barley ( Thuringia, Anabell, Cristalia and Tunika ) . The average production of the three crop years was 2362 kg/ha. In 2008, year considered normal in terms of climate, we obtained the highest yields in all four species studied, its value falling between 2350 kg/ha for Cristalia and 3025 kg/ha for Annabell. In terms of year 2009, the production of the studied varieties ranged from 1962 kg/ha for Tunika up to 2250 kg/ha for Annabell, this year being characterized as a dry year. In the third experimental year, 2010, yields ranged from 1937 kg/ha for Cristalia and 2462 kg/ha for Annabell, this year being characterized, in terms of rainfall, as a rainy year, but rainfall was not uniformly distributed. Following the evaluation of the stability of varieties’ performance using the superiority index (Pi) , the Annabell variety proved best ( 28% ) . Research has shown that genetic and climatic factors have influenced the yields obtained from the four varieties studied during three experimental years.
