The agricultural potential (terrestrial resources) is represented by the varieties of traditional cultures in Iraq, which has evolved over a period of over thousands of years. Agriculture in the North of Iraq depends on rain, rivers and groundwater, while the cultivation of lands in Central and Southern parts of the country is mainly dependent on only the waters of rivers. The country has a high potential for agricultural development, with reference to the total surface area of approximately 43.5 million hectares, but only 11 million hectares can be fit to the arable land. This paper makes an analysis of the main indicators of the agricultural potential of the Republic of Iraq, through areas under cultivation, irrigation potential, GDP, production made, etc. As a result of this analysis, we can say that the agricultural potential of the Republic of Iraq has as the main drawback the arid land for the vegetal sector, and also the reduced rainfall and soils with salt. There are necessitates who once carried out could raise agricultural potential among which stands out the increase in the technical-material basis of agriculture.

In this paper it was attempted to analyze labor productivity in S.C Avicod S.A. It was chosen this medium sized enterprise, because in this case was recorded the biggest average daily gain. Labor productivity shows the efficiency of human resource use, reflecting the efficiency related with the amount of work involved in. Increasing labor productivity is the only effective way to raise salaries without generating inflation in a country's economy. This research is based on the indicators of the profit and loss account of S.C. Avicod S.A, obtained from open data sources offered online by the Ministry of Public Finance from Romania, for the period 2014-2016. The analysis methods used in data processing were: the comparison method, the indices method and chained factor substitution method. The three conditions of a profitable business, including under normal economic conditions, are: cheap inputs, good technical and economic results, and a better capitalization of production.

Corn, one of the most important cereals, ranks second in the world ranking in terms of cultivated area, being overtaken only by wheat crops with a cultivated area of 220 million hectares, compared to 185 million hectares Corn, representing 80% of the cereal production. However, at U.E. And implicitly of Romania, it is noted that the area cultivated with corn begins to decrease significantly, being gradually replaced with sunflower or rape, far more profitable crops. By studying the cultivation of maize in Romania, we observe specific conditions determined by weeds and pests. The area cultivated with maize in 2015 was 2.6 million hectares. The presence of the Tanymecus dilaticollis corn root crop requires the treatment of seed with neonicotinoid products, for which Romania has managed each year to obtain a derogation from the European Commission, despite the fact that the trend at European level is to These products are forbidden from use. A possible ban on neonicotinoid-based products could mean a substantial reduction in corn-grown areas. This study was conducted in order to identify the critical periods of maize culture in Romania, but also to identify potential trends, taking into account the specific situation at European level.

The Southeastern Anatolia Region has two basins, being the Tigris Basin and the Lower Euphrates Basin. According to the data for 2015, 9.5% of the wheat production in Turkey is performed in the provinces (Diyarbakır, Mardin, Siirt, Batman, Şırnak) in the Tigris Basin which is the subject of the study. Wheat production in the agricultural lands of the region stands out in terms of the indicators of droughts related to both geographical restrictions and global warming. Climatic changes resulting from the global warming are one of the most important factors affecting agricultural production. In this regard, the assessment of precipitation values originating from climatic changes enables us to have an opinion on wheat production in the Tigris Basin in the future. It is considered that the potential for wheat planting may increase due to the appropriate climatic conditions in the Tigris Basin and available productive lands. The mapping of the changes in precipitation and yield values of wheat planted areas by transforming them into digital data is possible thanks to current information technologies. In this study, it is aimed to identify the change of wheat planted areas in the provinces in the Tigris Basin for last 25 years, the condition of available lands and their efficiency in meeting the needs for wheat. In this context, Geographical Information Systems (GIS) and statistical analyses were used. The climatic data of the Tigris Basin for many years (annual precipitation) and the yield of wheat planted areas and the values of cultivated areas between the years of 1991-2015 were used for the study. Accordingly, Geographical Information Systems (GIS) were entered into the database and interpreted by being associated with the statistical analyses.

Agriculture in Iraq has gone through many changes in the last decade, its revival has constituted a very important subject for debates. Agriculture is still an important sector since the agricultural sector does provide an opportunity for Iraq to improve the country’s economy, and more critically, to increase the resilience of conflict affected rural populations, by increasing their productivity. The focus of this study is on the main crops of Iraq that are very instable in terms of surface and production, affecting also the prices and producers 'confidence. A review of the cultivated crops, total and average productions was made for the period 2000-2014, with the help of the main statistical indicators that analyze the evolution, variation and growth. This study is divided into an introductory section, research methods, results and discussion in which data are interpreted, and end with the conclusions and recommendations.

The infrastructure is an element of support, with particular importance for the support of all economic and social and cultural activities in the rural area. The infrastructure covers both the structural area, giving unity to the system and the space area, thus creating a viable territorial configuration or not, which is reflected by different levels of accessibility. Actually it is the circulatory system of the economic and social body, individualized in a well determined area as the regional one. South-Muntenia Region is characterized by a well defined infrastructure due to its advantageous geographical position. Its location in a peripheral area of Romania has favoured the emergence of some major roads, which allowed the development of its relations not only with the neighbouring national regions, but also with the neighbouring country Bulgaria. It location around Bucharest-Ilfov Development Region, resulted in shaping a dense infrastructure for transport and communication, an extension of that developed in Bucharest, the most important city and administrative centre.

Comparing the concentration of the terpene alcohols from the juice of berry of the interspecific hybrids to the grape-vine V.vinifera L. x M.rotundifolia Michx. BC3 with traditional indigenous varieties of grape-vine Vitis vinifera L. ssp. sativa D.C. (Feteasca White, Black Feteasca, Black Rara) been found that concentrations of these constituents are limits appropriate intervals. For a category of terpene compounds such as, for example, linalool, geraniol and xotrienol, the perception threshold is lower than their concentrations in juice berries. Thus, these hybrids are easy to make out the aromas that are specific of these compounds, such as those rose, white acacia blossom, geranium leaves.

This paper is a summary of the study on the optimization of cross compliance in direct payments to farmers in Romania by assessing the situation on the enforcement of cross compliance schemes and measures to support farmers during 2007-2013 and find the best implementation model for the next period. This has been used data and information from IACS database, audit reports and statistical reports on cross, managed by APIA. The analysis shows the existence of a large number of standards for good agricultural and environmental condition (GAEC) and the statutory management requirements (SMR) in continuous revision, difficult to understand by land surveyors and farmers have to comply. This led to a large number of nonconformities and sanctions to reduce payments to certain standards/requirements (approx. 23,029 cases of non-compliance, i.e. 25.86% of the farmers control and penalties totaling approx. 1,412,690 € for period analyzed), with a negative impact on the use of EU funds for agriculture. In response to the matters referred propose simplification of cross compliance, reducing the number of standards and mandatory requirements for farmers (from 13 standards GAEC and 18 requirements SMR currently to 7 standards GAEC and 13 requirements SMR in the new implementation) an effective system of management and control, and an action plan on informing farmers on cross compliance.
