The strategies of fight against soft rot disease also takes into consideration the possibility of using unconventional, environmentally friendly products, as extracts of garlic (Allium sativum L.), or even selenium enriched garlic as control agents for Erwinia carotovora. The aim of this study is to emphasize the effects of different concentrations of aqueous garlic and organic selenium enriched garlic (Allium sativum L.) extracts upon Erwinia carotovora bacteria isolated from potato. Aqueous extracts were prepared from fresh bulbs of Allium sativum L. and organic selenium enriched Allium sativum L. as 100% concentration, and aliquote parts were isolated in order to prepare 10%, and 20%, dilutions were prepared. The disc diffusion method was chosen for determining antibacterial activity of aqueous garlic extracts. The STATISTICA 7.0 v. soft was used for basic statistics, and testing the significance of differences between experimental variants. The 20% aqueous solution produces a diameter of inhibition was in average of 12.28 mm and 10% aqueous garlic an average diameter of 11.95 mm. The differences were statistically not significant. The most important performances were recorded for 20% aqueous solution of selenium enriched garlic that emphasized the highest activity against Erwinia carotovora (87.71% zone of inhibition).","PeriodicalId":9362,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin of University of Agricultural Sciences and Veterinary Medicine Cluj-Napoca.

There has been found a positive correlation between soil quality and yield. It was also observed that increasing technologies are reducing the differences of production in order to equalize between yields on poorer soils compared to the richest. Therefore, the soil working technologies solves numerous defects of poor or degraded soils. For this, the working capital is decisive and so is the agricultural science well applied.","PeriodicalId":9362,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin of University of Agricultural Sciences and Veterinary Medicine Cluj-Napoca.

The main advantage of these populations is that the heterosis does not diminish significantly in F2. In order to complete the research on the combining ability of maize synthetic populations, the objective of this work was to study seven maize synthetic populations, determining their general combining ability (GCA) and specific combining ability (SCA) for kernel starch content, as well as their potential as source populations in breeding programmes.To achieve the proposed objectives, we studied top cross hybrids of the type “inbred line x synthetic population†resulted from the crossing between seven synthetic maize populations and four early inbred lines used as tester. For all experimental conditions, the differences between genotypes were statistically assured for kernel starch content. The experimental years and testing locations have provided conditions for differentiation of genotypes for starch content and interactions between the environment and genotypes were statistically significant, indicating dependence of starch content on environmental conditions. The additive effects for starch content provided by GCA were high for Tu SRR 5DR(6I)(5) and Tu SRR 5D (2I)(2). Non additive effects, corresponding to SCA were high for the following hybrid combinations: TC 233 x TuSyn 1 (3), CO 255 x Tu SRR 5D (2I)(2) and TC 209 x Tu SRR 5DR(6I)(5). In the case of synthetic maize populations, the determinism of starch is influenced equally by GCA and SCA.","PeriodicalId":9362,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin of University of Agricultural Sciences and Veterinary Medicine Cluj-Napoca.
