The purpose of the paper was to study the tourism in the Danube Delta and to evaluate the impact of the hostilities in Ukraine on tourist flows and other aspects. The study was carried out between February 5 and March 5 2024, by applying a questionnaire with 6 questions, on site and during the Romanian Tourism Fair (February 5- 8). The questions in the questionnaire addressed how the tourism structures in the Danube Delta have been affected by the hostilities in the neighborhood and whether they were helped by the central and local public authorities. Representatives of 78 accommodation units, totaling 3,080 accommodation places, as well as representatives of some public institutions and NGOs answered the questionnaire. It was tried to find out exact data from all areas of the Danube Delta, so the authors went to the representative localities from a tourist point of view: C.A. Rosetti, Letea, Periprava, Chilia Veche, Crisan, Mila 23, Jurilovca, Maliuc, Murighiol, Sfântu Gheorghe and Sulina. The conclusions pointed out a deep decline in the number of tourists in the Danube Delta in the year 2023, by 42% compared to 2022.

The purpose of the paper is to study to what extent the production and productivity elements of the armory culture is influenced by biostimulators in the pedo-climatic conditions of the experimental field located in the town of Măciuca, Vâlcea county. The work is based on a trifactorial experience, where factor A is the genotype, with 5 gradations: from Prahova, from Secuieni, from Iasi, Dacia Plant and from Brașov; factor B is the applied biostimulator, with 4 grades: untreated, Cropmax, BioHumusSol and Bioenne; factor C is the sowing density, with 3 gradations: 5 pl/m₂, 0 pl/₂, 25 pl/₂. The three-factor interaction genotype x biostimulator x decime influenced calathidium diameter, production and MH. The Prahova population showed differences of 25 pl/₂, when treated with BioHumusSol and Bioenne. The Sequoia cultivar was more productive at plots of 0 pl/₂ and 25 pl/₂ both untreated and treated with BioHumusSol and Bioenne. Desimea and the biostimulator influenced the Iași cultivar to a very small extent. Dacia Plant was the only one that reacted very significantly to the treatment with Cropmax, at the rate of 25 pl/₂. The Brașov population recorded increases in production when treated with Bioenne, in both plots. These interactions technological requests for the cultivation of armors in experienced pedoclimatic conditions.

Oats are more competitive with weeds than most other crops, especially when both the seed rate, due to its high twinning capacity, and the sowing season that will provide the oat crop with the vigor it needs to compete against weeds, through a good growth of roots and foliage, which will be reflected in their shading. With all these advantages, weed control is an essential and timely factor in obtaining a high production and quality of oats. The purpose of the present work was to determine the reserve of weed seeds in the soil, since their number and germinating ability make the soil the main source of weeding of agricultural crops, namely oats; the structure of soil weeding was also determined and the positive effect of applying the herbicide Granstar® Super (25% thifensulfuron-methyl + 25% tribenuron-methyl) against annual and perennial dicotyledonous weeds at a dose of 40 g/ha post-emergence was observed. The research was carried out on the Ovidiu variety, during the vegetation period of 202 in Mircea Vodă commune, Brăila county. The degree of weeding in the oat variety Ovidiu decreased, as a result of the application of the Granstar® Super herbicide, from 47.2 weeds/m₂ to 6. weeds/m₂. The application of the Granstar® Super herbicide led to a very significant increase in production in the case of the Ovidiu oat variety, of 380 kg/ha.

Bulgarian cattle farming plays a key role for the advancement of local agriculture. Bovine milk is an important product for local consumers, with dairy products forming a large part of the local diet. Cattle farming has not stray from the tendency of transformation that Bulgarian agriculture has undergone, resulting in lowering production capacity at the end of the 20th century and continuing development under the CAP of EU after 2007 (the accession of Bulgaria to the EU). Resource management has been an issue for local producers, that face fierce competition on the Common market for most of the processed products. Improving production efficiency through the adaptation of digital resource management can create opportunities for the development of the sector and improving its competitiveness. The purpose of this study is to analyse the resource requirements of Bulgarian animal husbandry farming and disclose some opportunities for application of digital solutions for resource management. The methods used are analysis and synthesis, statistical analysis based on data from centralised databases. The main result from the study is focused on the growth of cattle farming in Bulgaria during the studied period and thus the feeding material requirement, while at the same time the prices of these materials have risen significantly. The conclusion is focused on this significant market change, which leads to the necessity of better resource management for Bulgarian cattle farms and the introduction of digital systems to support it.

In Romania, domestic tourism is increasingly incorporating rural tourism. The number of travelers using the specific services provided by agritourism and tourism guesthouses increased during the pandemic. In this context, in this paper it was analyzed the evolution of this categories of guesthouses, at the national level in the period 20 8-2023, with the following statistical indicators: tourist destinations, types of tourists, degree of occupancy, accommodation capacity, tourist arrivals, occupancy rate, and number of overnight stays. The study reveals a preference of tourists for guesthouses and the efficient use of natural, cultural and human zonal resources. The creation of tourism products that capitalize on the zonal development potential is one of the options with a great development potential. Tourism and agritourism guesthouses have adapted more easily to the requirements of the health crisis by promoting a personalized tourist offer closer to the needs of tourists. The creation of diversified tourism products that capitalize on the regional specificity is one of the options with a great potential for future development.

From their inception until now – the last 80 years – cooperatives are organizations that unite and balance the social and economic demands of society with the expectations of their members. Cooperative values and principles have been preserved for almost two centuries, which is proof of their sustainability and permanence. These values impress upon the societal values of freedom, equality and democracy. The aim of the present study is to study the social aspects of cooperative values in some types of cooperatives in Bulgaria. To achieve the goal, the following tasks are solved: (a) to examine the nature and character of cooperative values; and (b) to reveal the social aspects of these values by following their manifestation in individual Bulgarian cooperatives. To achieve the goal and solve the tasks, the methods of analysis and synthesis, induction and deduction, the structural-functional approach are applied. The main result of the study is that meeting the social needs of the member-cooperators in Bulgarian cooperatives occupies an important place, and for a significant part of the cooperators - a priority. From the analysis in this research, we can conclude that the social aspects of cooperative values in Bulgarian cooperatives makes them unique as a legal-organizational form, since these values are close to universal human values.

This research is aiming to illuminate the socio-economic and operational dynamics of reaper-thresher ownership in Adana and to provide valuable insights for future strategic planning in the sector. The primary data for this research were gathered through 6 face-to-face interviews with combine harvester operators in Adana. Constraints such as operators' hesitancy, time limitations, budget constraints, and their dispersed locations in various villages hindered the possibility of conducting a larger number of surveys. Moreover, considering the limitations mentioned, secondary data from sources such as the Turkish Statistical Institute (TUIK) and other relevant research reports were incorporated. Survey data collected between January and February 2024 underwent thorough analysis using techniques including cross-tabulation, statistical analysis, and regression analysis. The result of regression analysis indicates significant relationships between variables such as total area harvested, harvest price, and annual repair and maintenance expenses, and combine harvester profitability. These findings contribute to a nuanced understanding of the factors influencing harvesting revenues and their impacts on stakeholders. The explanation rate of these variables for the dependent variable (R square) is 99.3%. Since tolerance is greater than 0. 0 and VIF is less than 0, there is no multiconnection problem. The findings reveal a predominant demographic profile of combine harvester owners, consisting largely of young and middle-aged individuals with varying levels of education, often continuing family traditions in agriculture. These operators typically operate small-scale agricultural enterprises, deriving most of their income from agricultural production. Through analysis it was found that the age ranges and education levels of the participants vary. While the age distribution varies between 20 and 5 , the education level varies from primary school to master's/doctoral degree. The majority of the participants have a nuclear family structure and there is an average of 5 members in their families. The land holdings are generally below 00 decares. Additionally, the majority of respondents own a combine harvester, and this is often due to family business tradition. There are participants who have other sources of income other than harvesting. However, agricultural production is often the main source of income. The share of combine harvesting income in total income is generally high. The majority of participants want to continue harvesting and recommend it to new producers. However, there is dissatisfaction on some issues such as the appointment system of the Soil Products Office and the supply of workers. Harvest start time is usually in May, and the majority of combine harvester owners adapt to the specific requests of landowners. These special requests usually relate to mowing speed and tillage. The findings reveal significant information that will contribute to the development of agricultural mechanization strategies in the Adana region.

A number of dynamic events have taken place in recent years, leading to an uncertain global and national situation. One of these is the signing of the European Green Deal, which attempts to make Europe a climate-neutral continent. This, in turn, has further worsened the situation of some European countries, including Bulgaria. The presence of three active coal mining complexes in the country largely exposes it to serious challenges in the transition stages and hinders the finding of appropriate methods and instruments to reduce carbon dioxide emissions. The aim of the study is to explore the main socio-economic challenges in the transition to a low-carbon economy at a regional level and to present some of the author's views on limiting the negative impacts on regional development. The analysis of the available data shows that the sustainable dimensions of the three coal mining regions is highly threatened.

The amount of fixed nitrogen per decare was studied in the experimental field of Research Institute of Mountain Stockbreeding and Agriculture-Troyan of bird'sfoottrefoil cultivars, such as Targovishte , Alvena, Lotanova and Frilo (Italy), Polom (Slovakia), Bonnie (France), Bull (Canada). The Lotanova and Polom varieties have increased nitrogen-fixing capacity and level of tuber formation, as well as fixed nitrogen per decare ( 7.40 and 7. 7 N fix, kg/da), which is a prerequisite for increasing soil fertility and the ecological effect. These two varieties could be recommended as suitable for implementation in production from an economic and ecological point of view. The correlation analysis proved a high positive correlation dependence of gross revenue with yield (r=0.9999), production costs (r=0.9982), and the amount of fixed nitrogen (r=0.9998). Plant nitrogen storage through symbiotic nitrogen fixation of bird'sfoottrefoil, as a suitable meadow legume species for mountain conditions, determines its ecological effect.
