Fertilisation systems and rape biomass production.

Starting from the presence on the market of some various assortments of fertilizers, from the critical situation in the field of fertilisers with a view to supporting agricultural production in many agricultural exploitations, as well as from the need to implement some sustainable agricultural systems, we tested a few fertiliser assortments (Bionat Plus, Bionex, and Terrasorb) at different rates and fertilisation times. Testing was done in winter rape as a result of the increasing share of the rape and of the increasing interest in rape. Production results we obtained, such as presented in Table 2 and in Figure 2, point out the favourable fertilising contribution of the three tested fertilisers, materialised in significant increases in yield; to note the fertiliser Terrasorb, with the most constant yields in all the variants applied and with the highest yield in the experiment.

RESEARCHES REGARDING VARIETIES AND TECHNOLOGICAL LEVEL PRACTICED IN FEW VITICULTURAL EXPLOITATIONS FROM BANAT

SUMMARY Banat area is representing an important Romanian vi ticultural area which has a long tradition and an exquisite experience in vine culture. The mo st important Banat’s viticultural areas are: Recas, Buzias-Silagiu, Tirol-Jamu Mare, Teremia and Moldova Noua. The ecological conditions of these viticultural areas are favorable and very favorable for grape vine cultivation, for white wine varieti es and also for red wine varieties. During last years time period besides well known viticultural exploitations appeared new ones as a result of high investments which are made in the last few years Banat’s area. All new plantations are made using mo dern technologies which allow mechanization of a high proportion of the maintaining works, in the context in which qualified work force is harder and harder to find. In table 1 are presented few exploi tations from Banat’s viticultural areas and the mos t important cultivated varieties.
