Botanical insecticides have long been touted as attractive alternatives to synthetic chemical insecticides for pest management because botanicals reputedly pose little threat to the environment or to human health. The body of scientific literature documenting bioactivity of plant derivatives to arthropods pests continues to expand i.e. repellents based on essential oils extracted from Chenopodium ambrosioides, Eucalyptus saligna, Rosmarinus officinalis to mosquitoes, or cinnamon oil, sandalwood oil and turmeric oil are previously reported as insect repellents evaluatede in the laboratory conditions. With the constantly increasing problems of insecticide resistance and increasing public concerns regarding pesticide safety, new, safer active ingredients are becoming necessary to replace existing compounds on the market. The present study carried out in the period 2010-2012 comprises a review of two insect repellents, followed by some new research conducted in our laboratory on plant-derived insect repellents. The two alkaloids tested against the Colorado potato beetle, Leptinotarsa decemlineata Say in laboratory conditions was obtained by water and alchohol extraction from two vegetal species, Cichorium intybus L. (Asterales:Asteraceae) and Delphinium consolida L. (Ranales:Ranunculaceae). The tests carried out in laboratory and field experimentally plots under cages permit to evaluate several other compounds for repellent activity of lacctucin alkaloids.

Profitability of an economic unit is expressed through a system of indicators, because "no index or economic category can reflect the total, perfect, complex reality of economic phenomena or processes. Each expresses a side of concrete, essential details (indexes), but a full one (economic category). This system of indexes for profitability is characterized by a higher degree of consolidation, of reflection of the economic-financial results. They must be correlated to the other indexes of economic efficiency from the various subsystems that constitute the factors which determine the actual amount of profit and the rate of return. Each indicator has a certain form of expression according to the phenomena to which it refers. Thus, they can be expressed in relative sizes as medium sizes or indexes. They can also be expressed in physical, conventional or value units. The ability to develop monetary results can not be judged independently to the employed means for achieving them. Therefore, the profitability analysis is not limited to investigating its absolute indexes but also the relative ones, obtained by comparing the results to the means employed or consumed for developing the specific activity

Under market economy conditions purchasing profitability represents a rule for each and every market player. It represents an essential condition of the existence of economic units. Survival of the enterprise and assuring its profitability are “the first concerns of every skilled leader. They are valid in each and every moment, right from the enterprises foundation. Thus profitability is a tool for decision making regarding internal administration of the economic unit, as well as in relation to external partners. It is the synthetic expression of results of any nature, an index for decision making and entity behaviour.

The rapid evolution of civilisation within the last two hundred years has involved the replacement of extensive, pastoral livestock systems for intensive production methods. The dangers implicit in this rapid evolution are discussed by Forrester (1971),in the Meadows report (1972) and latterly the necessity for “sustainable development” was flagged by the Brudtland Report (1987). The last agrarian reform in Romania increased the weight of small farms and led to non sustainable agriculture. In such conditions we are obliged to follow a twin-track strategy: (1)livestock systems with high productivity potentials; (2)traditional pastoral systems and organic agriculture, on marginal lands, which allow the utilisation of extensive grazing lands, the conservation of environment, genetic resources, landscape, the minimisation of the use of non-renewable resources and the production of "natural foods".

There are provides three levels to ensure the agriculture with industrial fertilizers. The first level (minimum) is intended for a short period, until 2015 year. Application of chemical fertilizers in minimal doses ensures maximum recovery of additional production costs. The minimum fertilization system under land degradation conditions is effective both agronomic and economic. The second (moderate) is the average (approximately 2015-2020), pointing to conservation (stabilization) the effective soil fertility. The third level (optimal) provides increasing the soil fertility and obtains the high harvests and will be implemented after the 2020 year. The optimal system of fertilization meets the requirements of maintaining economic and environmental equilibrated balance of nutrients in the soil, stabilization and reproduction of soil fertility.

The old rural civilization which assured a long and miraculous surviving of the Romanian people, it is at present in a critical breaking up moment. Production and rural living standard have become lacked of competitiveness, traditions and customs are left and people move to cities. Production looks to be unefficient and not sustainable from an ethnical and social point of view. Under the pressure of this situation, and also of the international concerns (ONU 1972, FAOSARD, UE) and European concerns (LEADER 199, EU RDP 2007-2013), sustainable development has become the core of the activity of Romanian scientists and authorities (SNDD 2013-2020-2030, PNDR 2007-2013 ). Taking into consideration the previous research results and programmes, the present study approaches the need to pass to real actions based on the analysis of the thresholds of the affected space, some aspects of the agricultural and rural sustainable development, regarding: farm modernization as an economical and social imperative and mention some aspects of the rural sustainable development including also the preservation of cultural, natural and rural heritage.

This paper is related with Romanian potential of soybean production and is based on idea that farmer’s incomes on this culture can be significant. The paper is based on research survey conducted among farmers that produced soybean in their farms. The research area was selected in the South East part of Romania, where were recorded the largest HT soybean surfaces before 2007, the year when Romania joined the EU and the production of HT soybean was forbidden. Both HT soybean and conventional soybean farmers were interviewed. The results indicates positive attitude of soybean farmers regarding soybean production if new regulation regarding GM production are adopted at EU level, which can lead to higher cultivated areas with this culture.

In order to achieve the best possible tourist activity it is needed that besides natural resources and human and material resources to be able to satisfy the tourist requirements. These material resourcess are known as “material and technical basis". This is represented by: accommodation and food, transportation, treatment and leisure facilities and is primarily conditioned by the development and modernization of existing material and technical basis. Thus, a highly attractive tourist area can not be on offer before receiving the facilities for receiving and retaining travelers. Buşteni, resort includes Poiana Ţapului,s dominated by steep Bucegi and has a great starting point for ascents, but it is also a true spa, indicated not only for leisure but also for the treatment of diseases of debility, physical and mental fatigue and digestive disorders and glands. Most representative indicators commonly used to express movement and travel and its main characteristics are: number of urge tourists, average daily number of tourists, number of days / tourist, average length of stay, receipts from tourism and tourist traffic density, tourists’ relative preferences. Analysis of tourist traffic in the tourist areas of Buşteni will be achieved by calculating these indicators. Tourist traffic indicators reflect the distribution and evolution in time of tourism internal and external demand,. They also reflect the behavior of the application on the use of vehicles and equipment and can be used for studying the origin and destination of tourism demand, the average stay and fidelity to a particular destination.
