This paper aims to present the evolution of agriculture in the Giurgiu County, during the period 2014-2018, analyzing in particular one of the two major components, namely the vegetal production. Regarding the active population in Giurgiu County, 41.69% is involved in agriculture. In order to highlight the main tendencies of the vegetal production in the Giurgiu County, the areas cultivated with: main cereals, main oilseeds plants, potatoes, melons, perennial fodder, vegetables, as well as the areas occupied by orchards in bearing, flowers and ornamental plants, vineyards in bearing were studied. Wheat occupies the largest area within this county. In 2018, the largest areas were cultivated with wheat - 85,861 ha, maize - 44,404 ha and sunflower - 27,350 ha. For the analyzed period, there were increases in the surface of oats, rapeseeds, soybeans, perennial fodder, vineyards in bearing, flowers and ornamental plants.

Credit is an important factor in rice production and it is needed by farmers to acquire needed agricultural inputs. This paper examined the effect of access and utilization of credit on rice productivity in Oyo state Nigeria. Two hundred and two farmers were interviewed using structured questionnaire through a probability to size sampling technique. The analytical tools adopted for this study are descriptive statistics and ordinary least square regression (OLS). The socio economic characteristics of rice farmers revealed that majority (78.3%) are in their productive age (30-59). Also, more than sixty percent of the farmers can at least read or write and fifty one percent are male. For land ownership 64% of the farmers have 2-3.99 hectares of land while 74% have household sizes of between 4 and 9. 53.5%, 31.7% got their credit from formal and informal sources while 14.9% of them got their credit from both sources. To determine the effect of credit usage on productivity Ordinary Least Square (OLS) regression analysis was used. It was found out that access to credit was significant at 1% affecting the effect of credit usage on productivity while farmer’s age and household size has negative coefficient with an R- squared value of 0.524. It was found out that access to credit has a positive coefficient and significant at 1 percent, implying that for every unit increase in access to credit there will be an increase of 87.3 percent in the output of the farmer. It was recommended that since farmers’ age has negative coefficient implying that for every unit increase in farmers’ age, there will be a decrease of 0.846 percent in the output of the farmer, thus farming should be made more attractive so that more youths will venture into farming increasing the availability of labour. For every unit increase in household size, there will be a decrease of 8.32% in the output of the farmers. Farmers should therefore be educated on family planning methods to reduce their family size, thereby having more money to spend on their farms. Credit should be made more accessible to the farmers thus increasing their productivity.

Mulberry (Morus sp.) leaves used in this research were mulberry leaves, is a silkworm feed whose leaf production and quality affect the growth of larvae, cocoon production and quality. The availability of mulberry feed becomes an important factor in the business of silk because of the high demand for silk thread as raw material for silk. To increase the growth of larvae and the production of cocoons and silk thread, an alternative feed is made. The feed consists of mulberry leaf added with palm sugar as an energy source. The purpose of this study was to see the effect of mulberry leaf added with palm sugar on feed consumption and the percentage of silkworm moths (Bombyx mori L) on the 6th day of instar V. This research was conducted at the Perhutani Soppeng Public Corporation in South Sulawesi. 1000 silkworms were used in this research and were divided into 20 boxes. The mulberry leaves used were M. multicaulis leaves and palm sugar was added to the leaves by spraying sugar solution to the fresh leaves. The experimental design uses a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) followed by Least Significance Different (LSD) test. The treatments given are fresh mulberry leaves without palm sugar (G0), mulberry leaves + palm sugar and water (1: 2) (G1), mulberry leaves + palm sugar and water (1: 4) (G2), mulberry leaves + palm sugar and water (1: 6) (G3), and mulberry leaves + palm sugar and water (1: 8) (G4) with four replications. Results indicated that the treatments of feed gave significantly different results (P<0.05) on feed consumption and gave very significantly different results (P<0.01) to the percentage of larvae that still consumed the feed at 6th day of instar V.

"Candida apicola" is an osmotolerant ascomycetes yeast. Yeast in general produces secondary metabolic substances in the form of bioactive substances that can be utilized in biotechnology field, besides that yeast also has antimicrobial properties. "Candida apicola" has a cell wall that contains mannoprotein, a bioactive substance that can be used as an emulsifier in the process of making food. Beansprout extract is used as the media formula for the growth of "Candida apicola" so secure for food production. The media formula used for the growth of "Candida apicola" is derived from bean sprout extract so it is safer for food production. This study aims to determine the growth curve of "Candida apicola" on media formulated and the value of the emulsification activity of mannoprotein obtained from the extraction process. The research begin by looking at the growth curve of "Candida apicola" with an incubation time of 0 to 70th hours and observing several parameters such as optical density, pH and biomass cells. The optimal incubation time in the growth of "Candida apicola" in obtaining mannoprotein occurred at 70th hours with absorbance value of 1.5817, pH 5.69 and biomass cell 0.0271 gr/ml. The incubation time of 70th hours in 500 ml of the formulated media produced a mannoprotein of 1.5982 gr and had a 50% of emulsification activity.

The main atmospheric climate parameters are important for the daily and seasonal variation of the parameters of the Comana Puddle aquariums. The anomalous variation of temperatures, precipitation and evaporation induces a fluctuation in the volume of water from the pond and the river Neajlov. Atmospheric temperature and precipitation directly affect winter phenomena and breakdown processes during the summer period, with significant effects on the agriculture, the most vulnerable domain on climate changes. In the hilly or hill area, the amount of rainfall decreases, thus influencing the water intake in these aquariums. The high warming time of the heat season leads to an increase in evaporation values, so that a water deficit is recorded in the hillside, hillside and plain areas, which also entails a loss in the volume of water in the lagoons. These seasonal fluctuations directly affect the limbic or aquatic fauna, but also the agriculture. In the cold season winter phenomena (ice bridge, ice on the shore, slopes, snowballs) and blocking water as snow, creates a deficiency in the water supply of lakes, ponds, puddles and swamps. This paper analysed the impact of climatic changes but also the possibilities of the recovery a part of the gloss of water, a gloss that existed years ago and which was greatly diminished after the work done downstream changed the hydrological balance of the area. This effect adds to the fact that climate change has made it possible for the volume of evaporation to be increased and sometimes to exceed the volume of precipitation.

The authors investigate the effectiveness of land use management in Ukraine for public land interests. Since any relationship to land as a natural resource is a combination of personal, economic and environmental interests, so land interests that arise in society in the land use management system are considered according to social, economic and environmental interests. Assessment of the effectiveness of land use carried out by the authors, showed the presence of both positive and negative tendencies in the development of land use. In particular, positive changes have occurred according to social and economic land interests and negative ones concerning the ecologisation of land use. The proposed distribution of interest groups allows us to identify the potential of land distribution and transformations for effective land management and to implement the measures required for Ukraine, which will also enhance the country's social well-being in the context of sustainable development.

The paper analyzed the EU-28 milk sector in the decade 2009-2018 based on Eurostat Database, using fixed indices, trend method and comparisons among the member states regarding number of dairy cows, number of dairy farms, average number of cows per farm, milk yield, raw milk production on farms and milk deliveries to dairies and milk price. In 2018, the EU-28 had 22.9 million dairy cows, 1.2 million dairy farms, the number of cows per farm varied between 219 heads in Czechia and 2.4 heads in Romania. Milk yield was 7,021 kg/cow/year, but the EU average was exceeded by 14 countries. The highest yield, 9,504 kg/cow was in Denmark and the lowest one, 2.877 kg is in Bulgaria. The EU produced 172.2 million tonnes raw milk of which 91 % was delivered to dairies. Average production per inhabitant is 336 kg. The results proved the decline of the number of cows and dairy farms, the growth of the average number of dairy cows per farms, milk yield, milk production and marketed milk. The main milk producing countries in the EU are: Germany, France, United Kingdom, Netherlands, Poland, Italy, Ireland, Romania and Spain. The EU has a large spectrum of farms from the most numerous subsistence farms to the largest specialized farms. The largest farms with over 30 dairy cows per farm as percentage of the total dairy farms are in: France (92.2%), Germany (70.5%), Netherlands (77.6%), Italy (32.1%) and Poland (10.65%).The specialized dairy farms have the highest production and standard output performance. The milk price crisis from 2014-2016 affected dairy farmers, despite that the EU Commission took corresponding measures to protect them. Farmers have to continue to reduce the number of farms and dairy cows, and to grow yield in order to produce and deliver more raw milk to dairies. In this purpose they have to invest more in farm modernization, to optimize nutrition and selection, to obtain a higher quality milk for getting a better return in terms of price at farm gate, income and profit.
