The seed batch was placed within Urleasca locality radius, Brăila county, on a chernozem type of soil, with physical and chemical characteristics which are favourable to maize plants’ growth and development, area which is characterized through a semi-droughty steppe climate, with a sprinkling system well refurbished. For the hybrids analysed, after harvest, there were determined the productivity elements (number of kernels/cob, cobs’ average weight, the weight of the kernels/cob), the yield and the quality indices, purity and germination; also, there were performed biometrical measurements (the length and diameter of the cob, and corn car’s diameter) and finally, there were determined the productions obtained. The biometrical measurements showed that the cobs of DKC 3203 hybrid have both the length (13.9 cm) and the diameter (4.1 cm) higher than the ones from Clarica hybrid, 13.6 cm respectively 3.2 cm. At Clarica 3893 hybrid, the cobs have a higher number of kernels (310.15), but the weight of the kernels on a cob (81.69 g) is smaller, due to the fact that the kernels are smaller and not equal in size, as compared with DKC 3203 hybrid, which has smaller number of kernels (304.33), but the kernels are larger (107.35 g) and more uniform. At DKC 3203 hybrid, the yield was 5.1% higher than at Clarica 3893 hybrid, this being correlated with a production higher by 205 kg/ha obtained from the same hybrid. It was observed that at the hybrid from Monsanto company, DKC 3203, it was obtained a production of 3840 kg/ha and a profitability ratio of 62.85% as against the hybrid from Pioneer company, Clarica 3983, at which there was obtained a production of 3635 kg/ha and a profitability ratio of 62.82% in the same climatic conditions and with applying the same technological elements, thus resulting that both hybrids are profitable from economic point of view in order to produce seed, due to the fact that crop’s profitability is over 50%.","PeriodicalId":9362,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin of University of Agricultural Sciences and Veterinary Medicine Cluj-Napoca.

The purpose of this study was to track the time evolution of the structure of agricultural land, livestock and prospects of the area. The information about agricultural surfaces, livestock ( their evolution in time ) were taken from the Agricultural Registers of Băișoara, Beliș, Călăţele villages,  ( General Urban Plan -1998-2010-2011) , but also from villages records ( 1990-2011) from I.N.S. Cluj. Demographic data necessary for this study were taken from the 1990-2011 Censuses of Population to trace the trend of evolution of the area studied. These data were graphically processed. The results show that during the years 1990-2011, the Băișoara, Beliș, Călăţele villages have occurred important changes in the categories of land use, livestock and degree of depopulation of villages. It was found that over time, the population of the villages taken to be studied ( Băișoara, Beliș, Călăţele ) decreased and therefore changes occurred regarding land use, the number of livestock decreased and pastures are under cargo. The close relationship between the grassland condition and number of animals and degree of intensification of crop systems determines the direction of their evolution.","PeriodicalId":9362,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin of University of Agricultural Sciences and Veterinary Medicine Cluj-Napoca.

The quality of the grain was determined based on meal analysis. Nitrogen application improved protein content and also increase the grain yield until level when is appear the negative correlation between two characters.

The experiments were conducted over two years, 2011 and 2012, at Agricultural Research and Development Station Turda, which are characterized with a high rainfall and temperatures favourable for winter wheat and spring wheat crops. The trials were conducted under quadratic lattice design with repeated the basic scheme. Each of both basic scheme consisting of 3 replications permitted to create two levels of fertilization. So, including the years as factors was possible to consider our experiment as an three factorial one (years- cultivars- fertilization).
