Abstract Research and practice during the last 20 years has shown that urban agriculture can contribute to minimising effects of climate change by, at same time, improving quality life in areas. In order do so most effectively, land use spatial planning are crucial as obtain maintain a supportive green infrastructure secure citizens' healthy living conditions. As people today trend more towards sustainable city centres offer fresh locally produced food, cities become again places for growing...
The influence of rootstock on the growth and fruiting three sweet cherry cultivars (‘Bigarreau Burlat’, ‘Kordia’, ‘Regina’) was studied under pedoclimatic conditions Cluj-Napoca, Romania, in 2014-2016. trees were grafted Gisela 5 rootstock, trained as Zahn Spindle orchard had a density 1666 trees/ha. Root cut twice, at 50 cm distance from trunk, an angle 45° 30 depth, followed: first time, to autumn, fall leaves one side row second spring, blooming other row. rootstocks influenced height...
A novel species, Gymnadenia winkeliana, has been identified in the Bucegi Natural Park ROSCI0013, located Southern Carpathians of Central Romania. Two moderately sized populations totalling 120–140 individuals, were discovered inhabiting alpine grasslands park, situated 2.000 m above sea level. To describe this newly found population as comprehensively possible, 44 vegetative and floral organs/organ parts directly studied measured from living plants. Special attention was focused on...
The kiwifruit or Chinese gooseberry represents an important horticultural crop in New Zealand, Italy, and China nowadays, there are concerns regarding this culture Romania, for instance the mild microclimates where peach, apricot almond trees grow. interest increased worldwide with consumer acceptance of kiwifruit, having view health benefits associated its consumption: source antioxidants, decrease lipids blood, improvement gastrointestinal laxation. research conducted at UASVM Bucharest...
Colloids and especially silver are increasingly used in a variety of worldwide applications because their potential antimicrobial activity plasmotic conductivity properties. This research reports the fungitoxic properties colloidal on mycelial growth important plant pathogens: Alternaria brassicicola, Botrytis cinerea, Aspergillus flavus, niger, Fusarium culmorum, oxysporum, Penicillium digitatum Sclerotinia sclerotiorum. Although variable responses towards each compound were observed within...
Due to a very low germination percentage of some sweet cherry's hybrids seeds in the breeding process, new research using embryo rescue method was started. The goal this work establish an efficient propagation protocol culture vitro. cherry comes from eight hybrid genotypes as follows: 13.3.M (Giant Red x Early Red), 13.4.M New Star), 13.8.M (New Star Kordia), 13.9.M Van), 13.11.M Burlat), 13.12.M 13.18.M (Van 13.19.M Red). biological material sterilised alcohol 96% (w/v) and Ca(OCl)2...
A new species of Epipactis from Bucegi Natural Park ROSCI0013, Southern Carpathians, Central Romania is described. Three medium-sized populations bucegensis (65–70 individuals in total) were discovered the south-eastern, subalpine area park. To properly describe and distinguish newly found taxon other Romanian Epipactis, 37 morphological characters measured directly living plants flowers. Moreover, a detailed taxonomic treatment description with corresponding colour photos line drawings...
Hippophae salicifolia is an Euro-Asian species used in many industries, from medicine to cosmetics, nutrition, or soil sciences (enriching degraded fields, diminishing erosion, preventing and treating diseases). The purpose of this study was analyse the culture Europe together with chemical content its fruits. In order achieve this, seeds were sown greenhouses, seedlings planted while fruits harvested analysed both fresh, as well after preservation for 1 year 5 months. properties H. also...
Life in a city with its own advantages and disadvantages it is an object of research open discussions, multilayered many facades to approach. Human nature, which creates material mental needs, considered the biggest cause urban degradation. Intense industrial growth, rapid population chaotic planning, reckless exhaustive use natural resources environmental degradation are some causes global economic, climate health crisis. Recognizing special living conditions city, have changed balance...
Reliable access to safe, economic and nutritious food was at increasing risk many decades ago, burdening society andsocial relations, especially in urban areas. It is now known that climate change, the pandemics crisisare directly responsible for security. For this reason, science has undertaken safeguard future of food. Anyproposal reduce catastrophic effects crisis on cities must be based ecological farming methods toachieve sustainable horticulture. Co-cultivation an old forgotten...
Nowadays, many biodegradable organic wastes no longer need to represent an environmental hazard and as a consequence, they could be recycled obtain horticultural substrates. An experiment was conducted on two deciduous (Tamarix tetrandra, Ligustrum ovalifolium ‘Aureum’) coniferous species (Chamaecyparis pisifera ‘Boulevard’, Chamaecyparis lawsoniana ‘Stardust’) grown soil mixture of forestry compost, leaves peat grape marc compost. The aim the research investigate response...
