In this paper, we study the regional aspects of the differentiation of wages of agricultural workers. In the prevailing market conditions, funding for agricultural workers is inadequate. In most cases, wage differentiation in neighboring countries is two or more times higher, which causes uncontrolled processes of labor migration from rural areas. The conditions of dependence of wages and production results in agriculture on the basis of a participatory approach are studied. We found that the payroll should be formed taking into account the observance of fundamental economic principles. In particular, while in the reference countries the basis of production activities is the observance of social guarantees and a decent level of remuneration, in the developing economies neighboring the region workers are poor, and as a result satisfaction of social justice is impossible. Moreover, the classical approach to the formation of a wage fund in modern market conditions may not be feasible and the author’s concept of wage ranking is preferable.

Drought is a major abiotic factor limiting the grain yield and yield stability of maize throughout the world therefore, the development of drought tolerant genotypes is an important breeding objective. In this study, an experimental field was conducted at Agricultural Research and Development Station Simnic in the water-stressed (2017) and non-stressed conditions (2018) to select the best performing maize hybrids. For this purpose, the new indices: RCI (the resilience capacity index), PCI (the production capacity index), YSSI (the yield susceptibility score index) and YPSI (the yield production score index) were used. The results indicated that using this new selection method, maize hybrids can be easy identified and classified in four categories of tolerance. The hybrids from category 1: HS 880- 13, HS 1158-14, HS 1156-14 were selected as combining high resilience with high productivity.

The aim of the study was to determine the effect of humidification conditions (drip irrigation and no irrigation) and growth regulators (Agrostimulin, Garth, Lucis, Emistim C) on the seed productivity of alfalfa varieties Unitro and Zoryana. The study was carried out during 2012-2015 at the experimental field of the Institute of Irrigated Agriculture of NAAS on the dark-chestnut soil in the conditions of the Steppe zone. The yield of alfalfa seeds in the conditions of natural humidification was (by the years of life) 154; 471; 235 kg/ha, and drip irrigation increased them to 207; 640; 538 kg/ha. Application of the growth regulators favored for the increase in the seed yield: 161-171; 479-492; 245-256 kg/ha without irrigation, and 217-230; 653-668; 559-583 kg/ha at drip irrigation. The highest yield of 175; 497; 261 kg/ha and 236; 674; 594 kg/ha was obtained in the variants with Garth growth regulator application. Drip irrigation increased the root mass from 1.61 to 2.03 t/ha. The preparations stimulated the root mass accumulation, mostly at drip irrigation, by the years of the crop life: Agrostimulin – 2.46; 5.36; 6.78 t/ha, Lucis – 2.50; 5.61; 7.05, Emistim C – 2.42; 5.28; 6.72 and Garth with the maximum indices – 2.53; 5.73; 7.25 t/ha. Atmospheric nitrogen fixation increased from the first to the second year of the crop life, and further decreased to the third year of the herbage life. Strong correlation ties between the seed productivity and root mass accumulation (r= 0.932-0.984), atmospheric nitrogen fixation (r= 0.960-0.975) and between the root mass accumulation and atmospheric nitrogen fixation (r= 0.990-0.996) were determined.

Sustainable rural development consists of three components: economic, ecological, and social. The paper paid to the economic component through selection of the most relevant economic indicators for measuring sustainable rural development at NUTS 3 level. Objectives of the research were: a) to identify the most appropriate economic indicators for measuring sustainable rural development, either used so far or proposed in the literature, b) to select five most relevant indicators according to the experts’ estimate. The analysis of previous research has outlined and explained 15 economic indicators. After the first phase of selection, an additional selection of indicators by expert evaluation was carried out. Based on the expert evaluation, five most relevant economic indicators were identified, namely according to the average grade: unemployment rate (4.49), accessibility of agricultural infrastructure (4.47), gross domestic product per capita (4.45), education level as a prerequisite for the use of innovation (4.26) and productivity of agricultural production (4.21). Looking at separate assessments of each of the expert groups, it is evident that their selection of the five most relevant indicators only coincides in two of them: unemployment rate and availability of agricultural infrastructure.

Rural development, sustainable development and sustainability are nowadays often mentioned in scientific publications, as well as in political discussions and the media. The concept of sustainability includes three sets of goals: economic, environmental and social. In this paper emphasis is put on the selection of the most appropriate social indicators for measuring sustainable rural development at NUTS 3 level. Objectives of the paper were: (1) to identify the most appropriate social indicators for measuring sustainable rural development already used or proposed in literature, (2) to choose the five most appropriate indicators according to experts’ assessment. The analysis of existing research outlined and explained 18 social indicators. After the first phase of selection, an additional selection of indicators by expert evaluation was carried out. Based on the expert evaluation, five most relevant social indicators were identified, namely according to the average grade: age structure (4.70), availability of educational institutions (4.45), educational structure (4.34), availability of health institutions (4.32) and population growth between two censuses (4.32). Looking at separate assessments of each of the expert groups, it is evident that their selection of the five most relevant indicators coincides in three indicators: age structure, availability of educational institutions and educational structure.

The main supply factors at the rural tourism services market (on the example of rural tourism households of the Transcarpathian region of Ukraine) are characterized. The SERVQUAL method has been modified taking into account the usage of certain elements and assessment principles of the most important criteria for the rural agritourism services quality. A marketing research of the proposed rural tourism products with a comparison of the expected and perceived quality of the tourist product was conducted. The rural tourism services quality assessment depends primarily on the personal perception of tourists during their stay at rural tourism households and is assessed through the prism of hospitality, competence, propensity to provide qualitative tourist services, family atmosphere, obscenity with tourists' needs and ability to meet safety and security, willingness to respond to guests’ complaints.

The paper analyzed in the EU silk export, import and trade balance in the period 2010-2019 pointing out the main tendencies and the role and position of the major "actors" in silk commercial transactions. The data provided by International Trade Center were processed using the fixed basis index, descriptive statistics, average annual growth rate, and trend method based on regression models. The results showed that the EU-28 is the most important importer and consumer of raw silk and also the top exporter of textiles and fashion products worldwide. However, the silk export and import values declined at the EU level and also in the top 10 countries "players" in the silk market. The countries with the major impact on the silk export and import in the EU are, in the decreasing order: Italy, Romania, France, United Kingdom and Germany whose market share represented 94.32% in the EU export and 86.9 % in the EU import in the year 2019. A lower market share in case of silk import have Bulgaria, Slovenia, Portugal, Spain and Austria as well. China and India are the main suppliers of raw silk and other silk products for the EU, but also Vietnam and Thailand. The EU developed a new clustering strategy enlarging the geographical area where silk products could be produced cheaper, the workforce could be more efficiently used increasing productivity and sales in the silk products market. In this way, raw silk could be provided locally preventing a possible decline of China supply.

The decisions for a good soil management need many points of support to substantiate the management strategy. These support points must reflect as accurately as possible the field reality. In the present paper, these support points are the physico-chemical characteristics of two Luvisols: one, the crop soil (P1) and other under pasture (P2). The two soils had been analyzed to pointed out how soil bulk density is an important key of soil fertility and consequently of the agriculture management and how influence the well function of an important ecosystem services as the „maintenance of soil structure“. Bulk density (BD) being considered as a referential parameter, it was compared with: packing density (PD), restricting bulk density (BDr), hydraulic conductivity (HC), and organic matter (OM) as parameters used to monitoring the structure quality. The results showed low differences between PD and BD values of both profiles, while the values of BDr drop drastically into the clayey horizons, matching perfectly with the higher clay content, and showed the stressed conditions for the roots in both soils. The HC depends not only on the poral space design, but also on the quality and quantity of the clay coatings that coated the pore walls. The illuvial constituents partially clog the pores, reducing the values of the poral space (as part of BD), and hence the HC. The BD, being one of the physical quantifying characteristics (that assessing quantitatively the water and air in soil) represent an important key of soil fertility and strongly influenced „maintenance of soil structure“ecosystem service, and consequently emphasized the quality of the agriculture management. The paper management recommendations place it on a direct path that meets the problems faced by the farmers, related to the Luvisols physical and mechanical properties (unfavorable aero-hydric conditions and high energy consumption and relatively short working period) on the general background of the increasingly severe climate changes.

The paper analyzed the dynamics of Sorghum cultivated area, production and yield in the decade 2010-2019 pointing out the position of Romania among the EU-28 producing countries, the relationship between production and yield using ANOVA, and regression analysis in terms of linear fit. The results showed that the cultivated area increase by 52.7 % in reaching 15,712 ha in 2019. The West and South West regions cultivate 81 % of Romania's cropped area with Sorghum. Production increased 3.2 times reaching 60 thousand tons in 2019, 80% being achieved by West region (63.4 %) and South West Oltenia (10.5%). Sorghum yield was doubled in 2018 achieving 3,819 kg/ha, the highest records being in North East and West. Romania is ranked the 4th in the EU-28 after France, Italy and Hungary for Sorghum cultivated surface, production and yield. Between production and yield is a positive and strong relationship, r = 0.842 and R² = 0.710, reflecting that 71 % of the variation of production is caused by yield change. The regression model Y = 0.0112 x + 13.424, shows that if Sorghum yield increases by one unit, production will grow by 13.43 units. Therefore, a higher productivity per surface unit will contribute to production growth. For this reason, farmers have to use modern technologies involving high potential varieties and hybrids, optimized tillage, fertilization, sowing depth, plant density, distance between rows, correct and timing application of the agricultural works, the use of modern equipments for tillage, sowing, crop maintenance and harvesting. The technologies have to be adapted to climate change, meaning the use of earlier cultivars, looking for a new depth of sowing where soil moisture content favours seeds germination and chose the best harvesting moment.
