The study is situated in the field of agriculture and the main subject is extension of agriculture in Iraq, within the context of creating a clear vision of the current status of agriculture in Iraq, by comparison regarding crop and agricultural areas with neighbouring countries such as Iran, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and Syria. Given the fact that extension is a multidisciplinary function, an educational, political and organizational instrument, several factors will be taken into account, such as the population of Iraq, since it is important to evaluate the efficiency of the agricultural production regarding meeting local needs and not being depended on imported food. The Iraqi educational system will also be considered a factor of extension, which is why a section will be dedicated to it, also the practical activities of society are considered important since they lead to the drafting and implementation of policies that are able to help the development of agriculture and at the same time respect the environment, health and quality of food.

The institutional environment is an essential component of agriculture, an important determinant of performance and the transformation of the sector. Lack of certain institutions, or their weakness is a serious barrier to structural transformation and the modernization of agriculture. A special role in these transformations perform local institutions, which by direct contact with the farmer can effectively interact with the processes taking place in farms. Especially in investing activities associated with significant risk, institutional support is extremely helpful for farmers. The aim of the study is to identify the role of local institutions in the process of investing activities supporting farms in Poland. It was found that the most intense are the relations of farmers with local institutions conducive to the absorption of EU funds. A dominant role in Poland, in this respect, is carried out by public agricultural advisory.

The paper analyzed the tourism indicators in the Brasov County in terms of tourist inflow and accommodation capacity pointing out the importance of agro-tourist and tourist guesthouses in the period 2007-2016, based on the empirical data provided by the National Institute of Statistics and also estimated the forecast for 2017-2021 horizon. The tourism indicators was calculated according their formulas, and their dynamics was assessed using the index method and average growth rate. The tourism offer in the Brasov County registered a high development in terms of accommodation capacity. In 2017, there were 955 tourist accommodation units, of which 69.73 % guesthouse and 29,811 places, of which 65.02 % in guesthouses. The number of places in agro-tourist guesthouses had a higher dynamics than in the tourist guesthouses. The tourist inflow doubled its figure in 2016, accounting for 1,114,395 visitors in 2016, of which 83.07 % were Romanian tourists. The number of Romanian visitors increased more than 2 times, while the number of foreigners by 71.4 %. Of the total number of visitors, 26.51 % were accommodated in guesthouses. The number of visitors accommodated in agro-tourist guesthouses was 2.58 times higher in agrotourist guesthouses and 2 times higher in tourist guesthouses. The overnight stays recorded an ascending trend, accounting for 2,213,002 in the year 2016, of which 12.89 % in agro-tourist guesthouses and 14.15 % in tourist guesthouses. About 85 % of overnight stays in guesthouses belong to the Romanian tourists. The length of stay has declined to 1.98 days at the county level, but a little highe 2.13 days in agro-tourist guesthouses. The tourism density doubled its figure, accounting for 2.02 tourist/inhabitant. The occupancy rate was in average 21.40 % at the county level, but lower in the guesthouses. Tourism will continue its development in the Brasov County, and in 2021, it was expected to receive 1.43 million tourists, by 27.7 % more than in 2016, and the accommodation capacity to reach 36,683 places. The Brasov county is an example of high quality tourism, an area where guesthouses play an important role in the tourism market.

The resistance of apple tree cultivars (Malus domestica Borkh.) towards different pests and diseases is relevant for the today breeding programmes. In this respect it is important to access genetic resources from gene banks as well as from traditional apple pools. In Romania such orchards are not very often today but certain remains from the XVIII century can be found especially in Transylvania. The scope of this article is to present the incidence of infestation with apple powdery mildew (i.e. Podosphaera leucotricha) for 24 old apple varieties found in Fântânele, Sibiu County. Among the 937 investigated apple specimens, in four different landscape subunits for a three consecutive years (i.e. 2014, 2015, and 2016) three varieties proved to be extremely sensitive (i.e. Golden delicious’ 'Grosse Casseler Reinette’ and 'Jonathan’). On contrary local varieties proved to be resistant. Also 'Boiken’, London Pepping’, 'Edelborsdorfer’, 'Reinette Ananas’, 'Gustav’, 'Astrachan Rouge’ , and 'Red Delicious’ proved to resist to the attack of apple powdery mildew.

The purpose of this paper is to observe and reevaluate the influence mineral and organic fertilizers have on soil reaction. Various dosages of fertilizer have been applied, chemical as well as natural (manure) and comparisons were made regarding their influence, depending on the culture system (intensive and superintensive) without changing the dosage, but taking fruit tree density per hectare into account. Research in this paper was carried out on an experimental field at the Didactic Station of the U.A.S.V. M. B. in Timişoara during 2016-2017 and later in the research laboratories of the Departments of Soil Science and Agro-chemistry of the Faculty of Agriculture in Timişoara. The soil on which the experiment is placed, is a chernozem, moderate gleized cambic, weakly decarbonated, clayey, on medium fine loss layers. The experiment is polyfactorial, type 2 x 6: factor A – the crop system: a1 – the intensive system; a2 – the superintensive system. Factor B – doses of fertilizer. The experiment includes 12 alternatives. Each alternative includes 4 trees, between the alternatives have been left two trees for insolation, between the repetition have been left four trees. In conclusion, a slight soil acidifying was accounted for, with the intensive system as well as with the superintensive one, on applying a combination of mineral + organic fertilizers. Also, the soil pH shows lower values in both culture systems when a higher dosage of mineral fertilizer is applied.

The article deals with the implementation of the State Target Program on Ukrainian Village Development of Ukraine. The aim of the paper was to present the influence Ukrainian Village Development Programme 2007 – 2015 on agricultural land use taking into account its objectives. This topic is current in the context of the Village Development Programme 2007 – 2015 evaluation and search for effective tools for supporting agricultural land use. The results of research conducted in 2017 based on the data of Ministry of Agrarian Policy and Food of Ukraine and Accounting Chamber of Ukraine are presented. During the period of the State Program, about a half part of the projected amount of funds was allocated from the budget on agricultural market development. Consequently, ineffective state management and limited budget funding did not contribute to the efficient use of agricultural land by rural areas and the achievement of the expected results of the Village Development Program.
