Objectives
The establishment of
sustainable technologies by embracing conservative tillage systems will be
realized as a result of interdisciplinary collaboration regarding the theme of
this project. The investigations will be focused on two main objectives.
Inside of every major objective will be a certain number of specific
objectives.
I. The determination of the
influence of unconventional tillage systems on sustainability and biodiversity
of agricultural system.
The analyses of fertility and
soil productivity evolution under the influence of climatically conditions and
different technological variants will be realized in the experimental center of
the host institution. There will be followed up: different soil tillage, crops
rotation, fertilization systems, etc. In this experimental device and also in
the other that will be initiated by our project, will be realized the further
objectives:
1.1 Elaboration
of technically requirements, agrotechnics and exploitations technologies for
tillage machineries used for the new systems.
1.2 Management
of soil and water resource as a premise for using different conservative
tillage systems.
1.3 The
harmonious interplay of technological factors with climatically and anthropical
factors from experimentation area, in direct relation with the agroecosystems
affected by drought, a specific phenomena in this area of Moldavia in the last
years.
1.4
Quantification of hydro, physical, biological, chemical properties evolution of
soils in the condition of the new technologies.
1.5 The
establishment of evolution and the role of organic carbon in soil in
correlation with hydric, thermic and biological regime of soil.
1.6 There
will be established eventually influences of the new technologies on reducing
the inputs. There will be mentioned the mail role of these on optimization of
the proportion between energetically consumption and financial advantage. The
idea is to offer viable alternatives to farmers whose main and immediate
interest is the economical one.
1.7 Profoundly
knowledge of plant request for the unconventional systems on biomass-roots-soil
interface, adjusted at mechanical properties of soil.
II. Pursuing the evolution of
soil fertility expressed through the main characteristics of this, in divers
locations form North-East Region, where has bean introduced the unconventional
tillage systems in practical way.
The proposed objective
subscribe to sustainable agricultural system, very contemporaneousness,
responding to the local requirements to create a scientific data base necessary
to answer to the questions regarding the management of this technology. More
and more segments of North-East Region land are used under unconventional
tillage system. A big contribution at this phenomena it has the importation of
technologies and machineries, but unfortunately not always there are efficient.
Starting from the
considerations counted above, inside of this major objective we propose to
follow up this aspects:
2.1. Identification in the
field of unconventional tillage variants and centralization of the surfaces
worked under these systems.
2.2. Knowing the influence of
environmental factors and technologies on sustainable productivity of soil,
which can provide a fertility control and an evaluation of the economical
impact on long time.
2.3. Elaboration along with
farmers of some technologies for amelioration crops which can allow the
rational use of local agro ecological resources (clime, soil, water, etc)
correlated with reduce energy consumption, landscape protection and sustainable
development of agriculture.
2.4. Examination and analyses
of physical, chemical, biological properties of soil for the evaluation of the
influence of technological and climatic factors on productivity and soil
fertility in the established places, on different pedagogical conditions.
2.5. Analysis of the
evolution of main agro-chemical soil indices in the last years and simulation
of the evolution of humus and mineral element stock from soil, according to
erosion rate and growing systems used in the next years.
2.6. The re-establishment of
technical information transfer role on rising the level of knowledge of the
agricultural producers.
2.7. Making a favorableness
study on soil and climatic conditions, connected to the best growing systems
and soil improvement methods allowable for the studied area, in concordance to
the last agro-ecological zoning system proposed by FAO in the last years.
The importance and estimative impact
The North Eastern region has 15.45% (2 131 421 ha)
of the farming area of Romania (14 836 585 ha) and includes very great areas
with soils affected by erosion (over 60%), acidification, compaction, slides
and other degradation forms (Project of Regional Development North East
2007-2013; Statistical Yearbook of Romania (2003).
The achievement of a functional connection between
environment factors and production systems will be made by promoting some
technologies and products, with optimized technological consumptions at the
level of EU, which improve the living conditions and protect the environment.
At the same time, the project will realize and propose methods and innovative
technical solutions to prevent and protect the soils from Moldavian Plain
affected by erosion, acidification and compactation. The degradation of
physical, chemical and biological properties, biodiversity reduction and
natural resource decreasing impose the rehabilitation and protection of
environment components by radically human activities. Last but not at least,
the Project wants to evaluate the agro ecological resources erosion factors
from Moldavian Plain, having as target the promoting of sustainable
agriculture.
