Sub-measure 6.1 “Support for setting-up young farmers”, within the NRDP 2014-2020, aimed to support the establishment for the first time of young farmers as sole heads / managers of an agricultural holding. At the same time, it stimulated young people and young families not to leave the rural area, and those from the urban area and the diaspora, who met the criteria, were attracted to establish an agricultural business in the rural area, to contribute to the development of the area's economy. The paper presents the amounts allocated by sub-measures NRDP 2014-2020 on 20.05.2021 and the distribution of the number of projects selected for funding under sub-measure 6.1, at the level of each county in Romania and regions. At national level, the absorption of funds related to sub-measure 6.1 was very good, being selected financing applications amounting to 438,120,000 Euro, out of the allocated amount of 466,754,112 Euro, which represents a degree of absorption of 93.87%. From the presented data it can be noticed that, in Dâmbovița county, most projects were selected for financing (863 projects), while in Neamț County only 8 projects were registered, for the period 2015-2020.

The environmental contamination due to off-target deposition of pesticide droplets can be minimized by using optimum design and operating parameters of sprayers. The fabricated electric rotary cage atomizer manufactured from the following component, rugged stainless steel welded frame with protective air intake grate, the center axial fane, high strength fiberglass protective and DC electric motor. The motor rotating speed was 3500 rpm. The liquid distribution system consisted of a metal liquid feed channel with holes leading to a series of grooves on the insides of the vanes between the slots. The open-ended design allowed the cage to act as a small centrifugal fan. This paper describes a collaborative theoretical and experimental research effort to investigate the performance of developed electric rotary cage atomizer utilized in agricultural field specially to spray orchards. A three-dimensional computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model was developed and used to evaluate concepts of rotary cage atomizer sprayer setup to orchard spraying to reduce drift without a decrease in biological efficacy. The result indicated that the maximum power requirement for single and two rotary cage spryer atomizers were 29.76 W and 55.2 W at rotational speed 3,500 rpm respectively. The maximum air velocity was recorded 5.3 ms-1 at out let distance 20 cm and rotational speed 3,500 rpm. The values of droplet size D0.5 were 251.72 at operating condition 0.4 L min-1, 1,500 rpm and 0.5 ms-1 air velocity compared with droplet size D0.5 80.23 at operating condition 1.4 L min-1, 3,500 rpm and 5.3 ms-1 air velocity. The increasing of the air velocity (U), rotational speed (Ω) and liquid flow rate tends to decrease the droplet size D0.25, D0.5, and D0.75. The values of droplet size D0.5 were 251.72 at operating condition 0.4 L min-1, 1,500 rpm and 0.5 ms-1 air velocity compared with droplet size D0.5 80.23 at operating condition 1.4 L min-1, 3,500 rpm and 5.3 ms-1 air velocity.

Economic indicators are key elements that indicate the current situation and economic performance of farms. The purpose of the study is to determine the main economic indicators and to analyze them comparatively, to determine the economic efficiency of dairy farms, depending on their area. The obtained results indicate that the farms in the plain area have the largest size and production, but the farms in the hill area have the highest profitability threshold. Farms in the mountain area are the least profitable, the position of the farm and the high costs confirm the difficulties of economic development of many farms in the mountains.

The requirements of management work determine the functions, objectives and methods of the cost information system. In turn, these elements (functions, objectives, methods) generate the informational structure for presenting the respective elements. Indirect expenses contribute adjacent to the support of current activities. In general, these expenses are not easily identified when manufacturing a product, providing direct services or meeting the direct requirements of a project. Instead, indirect expenses are accrued in detailed accounting records, allocated and reported by each firm. The expenses are then cumulated in centralized documents at departments level (production, quality assurance, administrative, sales, research and development) according to the organizational requirements. Their analysis can help us assess indirect spendings and control excessive spending. The key factors in monitoring these expenses are continuous surveillance, control measures and performance measurement.

The paper carried out a relevant, realistic and clear image on the current situation of rural tourism and agrotourism in terms of defining quality indicators and service offering to tourists visiting Valcea County. To achieve this, ten representative indicators were studied, based on which a system of quantification of the level of total quality management (TQM) was built, of the rural tourism activities carried out in this county. From the analysis and interpretation of the data and results obtained, it was concluded that the level of supply and services provided to tourists in terms of total quality is average, this is mainly due to low tourism supply, lack of a complete inventory of tourism resources, the partial capitalization of the existing resources, the lack of initiative and a tourism development strategy adapted to the territorial reality. Finally, it was concluded that the main directions for the development of rural tourism in Vâlcea County will have to aim at increasing the quality of tourist services, diversifying the tourist offer and more aggressively promoting the county as a tourist destination. The implementation of the principles of total quality management (TQM) should in the future determine all tourist reception structures to give more importance to customer expectations, which will lead to increasing their competitiveness in the domestic and foreign tourism market.

In the article we have substantiated and conducted statistically assess the impact of the final results of economic activity on the current socio-demographic situation of rural areas in Ukraine. Based on the results of determining the influence of conditioned factors on the level of labour migration of the rural population in Ukraine, we have developed a regression equation. Also, based on the results of the study, we built two cartograms, comparison of which provides an opportunity to assess the dynamics of the formation of the total fertility rate in rural areas (per 1 woman) for 2016 – 2020. We built a cartogram that visualizes the results of grouping regions of Ukraine by natural increase, decrease population in rural areas of Ukraine. The results of our study provide an opportunity to confirm that in the context of Ukraine’s official accession to the European Union and the serious challenges of today, the Ukrainian state should perform the functions of regulating the most important spheres of society in general and rural areas in particular. The task of increasing the employment of the rural population should be raised to the level of state priorities, which would provide an opportunity to create new jobs for the rural population in industries that can provide the maximum competitive effect.

The identification of alternative crops that require less water and produce high yields of organic matter is an important step towards a sustainable agriculture. This research was focused on determining the level of antioxidant activity of leaf and fruit extracts of some Rubus species, growing under the climatic conditions of the Republic of Moldova: Rubus fruticosus L., Rubus idaeus L. and Rubus loganobaccus L.H. Bailey. We evaluated the total phenol content (Folin-Ciocalteau assay): in vitro antioxidant capacity employing DPPH; ABTS methods and ferrozine test for iron chelating capacity. In leaf extracts, the total phenolic content ranged from 28.70 to 90.84 GAE/g DW and in fruit extracts – 13.97 to 45.08 GAE/g DW. In all assays, the leaf extracts of studied Rubus species showed the highest values of antioxidant activity (DPPH — IC50) = 45.39 — 68.11 µg/ml; ABTS — 42.57 µM TE/g dry matter, iron chelating capacity — 53.06 %). A high correlation was found between the values for the total phenolic content and the antioxidant activity. Our results confirmed that leaf extracts of Rubus species can prevent activity of free radicals by scavenging or by inhibiting them.

This article analyzes the local action groups in terms of the impact of funding obtained through measure 19 LEADER of the National Rural Development Program. Has it benefits or not? How relevant are the indicators achieved and their contribution to the economic and social development of the LAG territory. Also, the progress made by the local action group in the period between the approval of LDS by MARD and 31.01.2021, the degree of fulfillment of the assumed obligations as well as direct or indirect connections between financing are subject to analysis received through measure 19 LEADER, the indicators achieved and the degree of rural development of the area. Regarding the evaluation of the local action groups, the additional bonus stage, the one that analyzes their activity in the period between the LDS approval, respectively the year 2016 and 31.01.2021 (with reference to the programming period 2014-2020) finances the structures with over 21 million euro, financial allocations from other NDRP sources. In view of this additional funding, over 60% of public-private partnerships attracted additional funds, resulting in over 3,400 jobs, which is a positive premise for the rural development of the LAG.

This paper presents the comparison between Romania in relation to countries such as Poland, Italy, Germany, Hungary and Bulgaria, taking into account the similarities between them in terms of selling price of agricultural land, size of countries and agricultural area used. Current differences observed between the sale price of land in Romania, clearly express that there are various problems of agricultural activity in Romania. At the end of the paper, a model was created to see if there is a statistically significant linear relationship between the price of land the number of farms and the subsidy offered per hectare. The purpose of this paper is to identify and verify the correlation between the increase in selling prices of agricultural land, the number of farms and the single payment scheme per hectare. Germany ranks first among countries in terms of agricultural area, holding approximately 16.67 million hectares in 2020, with a negative growth rate of 0.04% while the only country with a positive growth rate is Italy, 0.47%, with a total agricultural area of 13.15 million hectares in 2019. In Romania, the price of one hectare of land is 5,339 euros and it is expected that the prices of agricultural land will increase in the coming years. Rising farmland prices can have a positive impact due to the European Union's financial support for the agricultural sector and agricultural activities.
