Abstract: In the mid-nineteenth century, as a result of increased trade between European and American continents and especially due to the import of American vines, a tiny insect appeared within the European vineyards, insect that will be responsible for a real environmental disaster. 
It's about Dactylosphaera vitifoliae (sin. Phylloxera vastatrix), belonging to the Homoptera Order. The great impact that it had the appearance of Phylloxera in Europe marked the history of Romanian and world viticulture. Thus, from then until nowadays, within the specialty literature, we can discuss about three phases (eras), distinct namely: prefiloxeric stage, filoxeric stage and postfiloxeric stage.

Abstract: At the moment, the agritourism represent for our country and for some european countries an attractive field for potential investitors and for the costumers. The supply  in this field in romanian rural areas is still in deficit. With all this, in Romania already exist two specific forms of agritouristic units omologated and clasified, namely: farmhouses and rural guesthouses.In this context, is imposing to elaborate and to apply some global strategies of romanian agritourism development which to allowance about all the social, technical, economic and ecologic implications of this development. Priority in the process of sustainable development on our country is the component that includes planning, establishment and operation of tourism as part of the sustainable development strategy of the area, region or country.
 
Key  words: agrotourism, rural economy, strategy.
 

RESEARCH ON THE IMPORTANCE OF PESTS IN THE PRODUCTION OF DAMAGE AND DAMAGE IN FIELD AND STORAGE CONDITIONS WITH SPECIAL REGARD TO MYCOTOXINS

Abstract: Pathogenic microflora and field and intermediate saprophytes are very rich and consist of bacteria and fungi that colonize the seeds before harvesting. These can affect the appearance, quality and germination of the seeds, but only some produce losses during storage. The stored cereals are attacked by quite a number of pests (insects, mites, rodents), which generally have a widespread spread around the globe, being mainly driven by international trade. Another general feature of pests of stored cereals is their high environmental plasticity, which allows them to adapt to very diverse food regimes and is therefore unspecific for a particular type of product.
 
Key words: mycotoxins, wheat, maize, field, grain storage.

 AbstractWater is essential in every stage of our lives. Mineral salts and trace elements in water are indispensable to our metabolism. Like the air we breathe, drinking water is important to our body. Consuming constantly drinking water as well as daily hygiene are the keys to our health. The water requirement of a healthy adult is estimated at about 1.5 liters per day. Our body eliminates about 2.5 liters a day. Foods consumed contain about one liter of water, so we need to drink at least 1.5 liters of water a day to avoid dehydration [2].
Dehydration can have serious health consequences (low blood pressure, neurological problems, rapid deterioration of general condition). Therefore, it is advisable to drink water as often as small amounts at different times of the day than just in breaks. Experts recommend drinking eight to 10 glasses of water each day to maintain good health [1].  
And especially, do not wait to be thirsty!
 
Keywords: health , drinking water,  water resources, physico-chemical parameters.

Abstract: The growing demand for information regarding the relationship between land use and environment largely reflects the higher priority given to environmental concerns in developing agricultural policy. The use of land resources has direct impact on environmental change, influencing the quality of life, ecosystems and overall infrastructure. Changes in land use categories, climate change, technological progress and shifts in population structure are some of the key drivers influencing agricultural land use and landscapes.  Based on the conceptual analytical framework provided by the agri-environmental indicators, the paper highlights the structural trends in land use changes, cropping patterns and livestock patterns, at national and European level.

 

Key words: agri-environmental indicators, land use, cropping patterns, livestock patterns.
