According to the studies, which were conducted on the experimental field of the Lugansk Agrarian University (steppe zone), on average for 2008-2017, the percentage of the contribution to the formation of grain sorghum yield by optimizing the sowing time was 38.8%. According to the set of indicators of adaptive capacity and ecological plasticity, the first earliest (April 25) sowing time for grain sorghum of the middle-early hybrid Sprint W was identified as the most appropriate. This sowing time provides not only the highest yield of the hybrid, but also the most favorable combination of the main indicators of adaptive capacity. At this sowing time, the hybrid behaves like a highly plastic genotype (bi ≈ 1.0), which simultaneously has a reduced stability (Si2= 0.67). It indicates that it has better adaptability to environmental deterioration. The earliest sowing time also provides the maximum rates of genetic flexibility (6.58 t/ha), drought tolerance index (88.2%), general adaptive capacity (+1.25 t/ha), yield stability index (0.27) and hybrid stability indicator (169.6%).

Corporate social responsibility (CSR) can be a basic element of regional sustainable development (SD), but this aspect is conditioned by the authorities’ support. Even if, at present, social responsibility isn’t well known and implemented in Romania, through a good cooperation between the public sector, the private one and the authorities, it is possible to increase the standard of living of the local population, especially for the inhabitants of rural environment. In order to assess the level of knowledge and applicability of CSR campaigns, a 19-question questionnaire has been drawn up and distributed online and physically, in order to obtain as many responses as possible. By addressing the questionnaire to a category with a good representativeness in the South-Muntenia Region, namely that of the managers of SMEs in the agricultural sector, it turned out that the interest in these subjects is low, in a first phase only 51 responses were obtained online, which means 7.29% from the requests. After the second stage, that of physical meetings, a total of 321 responses were received, i.e. 53.14%. As a result of the investigation, it can be concluded that the agricultural managers of the South-Muntenia Region don’t have confidence in the success of social responsibility actions, as a result they don’t want to allocate a part of their turnover to set this mechanism in motion, especially since about 20% of those interviewed aren’t interested in the sustainable development of the region.

The paper presents general elements regarding rural tourism, agrotourism and the tourist potential of the rural area, the unique natural and anthropic tourist heritage of the Maramureș ethnographic area. The current stage of capitalizing the tourist potential is presented, by analyzing the main forms of rural tourism practiced in the area, by determining the indicators that characterize the number of rural tourist pensions, accommodation capacity and are proposed some strategies for tourism development and tourism promotion and advertising this area, at national and international level. In the first part, a realistic and pertinent analysis was made of the specific tourist potential of the Maramureș ethnographic area, through which it is clearly different from other ethnographic areas in our country and which capitalized at its true value can be a real magnet of attraction for domestic tourists, but especially for foreign ones. The second part highlighted the evolution and development of the number of pensions and accommodation capacity in this beautiful region, in the period 2016-2020, which was significantly affected especially by the pandemic situation in our country and other neighbouring countries and the European Union. Finally, based on the real situation of the development stage and use of the tourist potential in the studied ethnographic area, a series of new strategies for the development and promotion of the rural tourism and agrotourism activity were presented.

Over time, the way people have practiced tourism has evolved, the reasons being both income growth, increased mobility due to globalization, but also a change in thinking or changing priorities in terms of living. In this way it has gone from the simple leisure in tourist destinations, to more complex concepts such as ecological tourism, slow tourism, experiential tourism, and now to the concept of transformative tourism, which during the Covid-19 pandemic it seemed to be even more current than before, considering the fact that this moment was considered to be one of resetting, of rethinking the way in which humanity will continue its activity and life. Therefore, in this paper the purpose was to analyze the way in which experiential and transformative tourism have evolved worldwide, but also the ways in which these forms of tourism can be developed for the benefit of tourists and destination countries. The research methodology involved the bibliographic study of the literature, the collection of information from domestic and international databases, their processing using statistical indicators, their interpretation and the formulation of conclusions on the development prospects of these forms of tourism. The data analyzed in the work show that tourism in general recorded losses during 2020 and 2021, and that, in turn, transformational tourism recorded losses. The advantages of transformational tourism are real, they bring numerous personal benefits, but also related to environmental protection, contributions to the sustainable development of less developed areas. The conclusions we reached demonstrate the fact that there are different forms of transformational tourism, both in the world and in Romania, but they are not sufficiently regulated. Their development could contribute both to the sustainable development of tourist areas, but also to the promotion of a tourism that is much closer to the aspirations of the new generations.

The paper presents a complex study on tourist traffic and the impact of the pandemic on the main indicators of quality of tourist services, at Simona boarding house - Dolj. The boarding house under study built its activity on a niche route, which caught on very well in the area, as it is primarily based on leisure activities and spending time outdoors, away from the noise and pollution of big cities. It is located in a more secluded area, at a greater distance from the main road, in an area with smooth hills and a special climate, which plays an important role in attracting tourists, a fact proven during the pandemic. In the first part of the paper, we focused on characterizing the area in terms of natural and anthropic tourism resources, after which an analysis was made of the main indicators that define the quality of services offered to tourists. Finally, based on the study and the results obtained, we concluded that Boarding house Simona - Dolj practices a modern management of the highest quality, as evidenced by the values of indicators that define the quality of tourism activities, which are at a higher level, high compared to similar ones at the national level, even in the severe and restrictive conditions of the pandemic period.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the efficiency in OECD countries’ agricultural sector and also to examine some selected factors that affecting the efficiency of production in this sector. For this aim, using Stochastic Frontier Analysis (SFA) during the period 2015-2019, the agricultural producers’ technical efficiency in all 38 OECD member countries was evaluated. However, some factors affecting efficacy in these countries were also examined. According to the study’s results, the average technical efficiency value in the agricultural sector of OECD countries in the 2015-2019 period was 78.6%. The countries with the lowest and highest average technical efficiency were Luxembourg and Colombia, respectively. On the other hand, as a result of the examination of the factors affecting the efficiency in these countries, it was revealed that the Global Innovation Index variable did not affect the efficiency of agricultural producers, but the reel exchange rate and agricultural pesticide use variables positively affected the efficiency.

An opportunity for the rural environment is the sustainability of agricultural activities, a concept that has recently emerged in rural areas, which is difficult to implement, as development in these areas is not uniformly achieved and requires significant investment to achieve sustainable village development. The purpose of the study was to identify the factors affecting population decline in the two regions studied to find solutions that could help to stop the decline. Data collection was carried out in accordance with current law (Law 544/2001), where birth, mortality and natural growth rates were determined and calculated using SPSS software, Pearson coefficients. The development of a landscape monitoring platform involving local authorities, academia, and business is an absolute necessity. It is absolutely necessary to develop a platform for monitoring the countryside, involving local authorities, the academic world and the business world. In this way, authorities can identify the localities where investments are needed to develop these areas.

The attack of "Spodoptera frugiperda" on maize has the potential to disrupt the availability of maize production in Indonesia, particularly in North Sulawesi, where it spread to additional districts of corn planting centers. Observations were made on nine maize varieties (Manado Kuning, Bissi 2, Pertiwi 3, JH 37, Bissi 18, Pioner P 37, Twinn 20, Bissi 228, and Nasa 29) and on the types and populations of pests and natural enemies on farms, which were sprayed with biopesticides, to determine the resistance, the number of eggs laid and the egg laying period; and logs the types of "S. frugiperda" egg parasitoid. The results showed that the Manado Kuning, Pioner P 37 and Nasa 29 corn varieties were the three most abundant varieties in terms of the number of egg groups laid by "S. frugiperda", where each had five. The Bissi 2 and Pertiwi 3 maize varieties had the least with only one egg group each. The earliest time for oviposition occurred at five days of age on the Pioner P 37, Bissi 228, and Nasa 29 varieties, while the latest time occurred on the Bissi 2 variety at 17 days of age. It was determined that the Bissi 2 variety may become the main plant choice, while the Pioner P 37 and Nasa 29 can be used as bait plants. The type of parasitoids obtained were "Telenomus sp." and "Trichogramma sp.", where "Telenomus sp." was obtained more than "Trichogramma sp." Both can be used as a natural insecticide.

Using empirical data provided by the National Institute of Statistics for the years 2011 through 2021, the paper's objective was to study the dynamics and distribution of maize cultivation area and production in Romania and its development regions. With 2.5 million ha of maize cultivation, Romania ranked first among the EU-27 in 2021. It is the second-largest producer of maize after France. Compared to 2011, the area planted with maize decreased by 1.6% in 2021. In the studied period, Romania's production climbed by 26.5%, and in 2021, the developing regions contributed as follows: 20.6% of South Muntenia, 17.7% of the South, 17.1% of the East, 14.5% of the North, 12.0% of the West, 11.9% of the North, 6.8% of the Central area, and 0.013% of Bucharest-Ilfov make up Romania. The yield of maize in 2021 was 5082 kg/ha, which was 22% more than in 2011.

The banking sector is one of the most important sectors for the economy of a country, being the one that supports the functioning of the market and that contributes to the achievement of economic growth. In this paper, we proposed that, starting from the statistical data published in the databases regarding Romania, to characterize the functioning of the banking system during the Covid-19 pandemic. The data were processed and analyzed with the help of some statistical indicators used in the analysis of time series (absolute change with a fixed base, absolute change with a chain base, the dynamic index with a fixed base, the dynamic index with a mobile base and the rhythm of the dynamics) and stood at the basis for formulating conclusions regarding how the banking system in Romania faced the challenges of the 2018-2020 period. At the same time, the strengths and weaknesses that characterized the banking system were identified, so that in the future, measures can be taken to avoid the risks resulting from the emergence of economic, health, social, etc. crises.
