The paper aimed to analyze the synergy between the development of tourism offer and demand in the Bucharest-Ilfov area, Romania, based on the empirical data provided by the National Institute of Statistics for the period 2008-2015 and using modern methods such as: fixed index, correlation coefficient, regression function. The results emphasized a growth in the number of accommodation units for tourists, in close relationship with the development of inbound and domestic tourism. In 2015, the Bucharest-Ilfov area had 182 establishments for tourists' accommodation, and 21,600 places and recorded 1.85 million tourist arrivals of which 56.7 % foreigners, and 3 million overnight stays, of which 58 % belonging to the international tourists. While the Romanian tourists' overnight stays in tourist accommodation units increased by 24.75 %, the overnight stays belonging to the foreign tourist increased by 58 %. Hotels are the most preferred type of accommodation units both by foreigners and Romanians in this area. The number of accommodation units is strongly and positively influenced by tourists arrivals and overnight stays as proved by the correlation coefficients (rxy = 0.859 and, respectively, rxy = 0.930). This was also proved by the regression models between the number of accommodation units and tourist arrivals, Y = 27.42325X + 129.6964, and the number of accommodation units and overnight stays Y = 22.8486X + 113.537. The variation of the number of accommodation units is determined 93.08 % by the variation of overnight stays and 73.85 % by the variation in tourist arrivals. As a final conclusion, it was proved the synergy between the tourism offer and demand in the Bucharest-Ilfov area, an aspect which has to represent the fundamental of the development strategy of accommodation capacity in terms of establishments

This study carried out an assessment of women entrepreneurship development in agribusiness sector in Benue State, Nigeria. It specifically examined women’s attitude towards the sector; their level of participation and the impact of participation on agribusiness practices and productivity; socio-economic factors influencing their involvement and constraints faced in agribusiness entrepreneurship in the study area. A multi-stage sampling technique was used to select 120 respondents with a well-structured questionnaire. Descriptive statistics and probit regression model technique were used to analyze the data collected. The study showed that majority of the respondents expressed positive attitude towards agribusiness entrepreneurship. Also, the study showed low participation of respondents in agribusiness entrepreneurship programmes. However, the fewer participated respondents’ recorded high improvement in their agribusiness practices. Result of the probit regression analysis revealed that access to loan, government support, household size, level of income, attitude, E.D.Ps, age and constraints were either positively or negatively related to the level of women involvement in agribusiness entrepreneurship at different levels of significance. Women entrepreneurs in agribusiness should be encouraged to create their own jobs and become self-employed since the opportunities of getting employment in either government or in private organization is currently almost declining. Government should embark on realistic entrepreneurial support services in agribusiness sector to stimulate self-employment opportunities for women for their personal survival and national development.

Both Romania and Bulgaria, the 2014-2020 period is probably a defining period in the country's development, particularly agriculture, taking into account the Commission's intention to abandon the granting of payments in agriculture, after 2020. So, time is critical and highly sensitive, being the last chance to reduce major differences compared to other countries, them benefited from such support on a much higher period than countries new entrants disfavored them up to a large extent thereon. It also represents a tremendous help of direct payments to farmers, contributing to their living standards and continuing their activities in agriculture. This paper seeks to highlight the need for support in agriculture so that by processing the statistical data it can be concluded that in both countries, even after the passing of seven years, regarding the first programming period, the situations are not solved completely, so these measures should be further enforced to help farmers

Direct payments to European farmers through the common agricultural policy are extremely important to them. The CAP has undergone countless changes over time and has been modified in the circumstances. Lately, the focus has been mainly on decoupled support, to the detriment of coupled support and rumours across the European Union as to whether it would be the last time they would assist by direct payments to farmers, fueling farmers' anxiety in especially those from countries have recently joined the European Union. Financing the agricultural sector is a necessity and a future, as the reduction of the CAP budget after 2020 is not a viable solution in this respect, which will lead to a decline in all aspects of the sector. The statistical processing of data provided by the European Commission demonstrates, among other things, the defamation of the most recent countries that have joined the European Union, such as Bulgaria or Romania, but especially Croatia.

The quality of the soil cover due to the use of various agricultural technologies is the subject of this study. The large number of agricultural technological works that are executed under the conventional technologies can reduce the natural soil fertility by modifying the soil agrochemical indicators. These negative phenomena have led to the emergence and development of the concept called "system of agricultural works for soil conservation" [8], according to which the system of works needs to maintain or improve the productive potential of the soil. The paper presents the results of the researches carried out in order to know the effect caused by the long application of the various soil cultivation systems, on the chernozem type of Baragan Plain, soil with very high fertility potential, where the humus content is on average 3.8%. Having as comparison base the classical soil cultivation technology performed by classic plowing (conventional soil tillage), at a depth of 22 cm, various variants with low soil works were taken into consideration, namely the replacement of classical works with disc or chisel works (conservative soil tillage).

In the year 2008 we started to use a microbiological product based on hyperparasite fungi, named Arthrobotris oligospora against nematodes, on several crops such as potatoes, carrots, parsley, knowing that this pests cause significant damages. We resorted to biological control, seeing as chemical control can be expensive. The purpose of the paper was the monitoring of and the decrease in the rate of the infestation caused by the nematode Ditylencus destructor from 43.2 % to 1.4%. Following application of the microbiological product in various quantities both in autumn and in spring, we reached an optimum dosage during the vegetative stage. The differentiated application of the microbiological product both in autumn, 1.5 kg and in spring, 1.5 kg led to the desired outcome. Based on the results obtained we concluded that in autumn, the product applied against nematodes has enough time to develop and infiltrate the soil to have the desired effect, i.e. capturing nematodes. This can actually be observed in the yield, when for a dose of 1.5 kg fungus / ha applied in the autumn, we obtain a healthy crop of 25.8 to/ha, and for 1.5 kg fungus /ha applied in the spring we obtain a healthy crop of 19.9 to/ ha. When using the fungus, the soil is not chemically loaded and it doesn’t present after-effects from other crops. The microbiological product based on A. oligospora has better results when the soil humidity reaches a saturation of 80%. On land with insufficient humidity, the results decline.
