New Agricultural Model of Economic Sustainability for Wheat Seed Production in Romania

Abstract

In the conditions of a digitalized and sustainable economy, a smart decision is focused on all demand aspects regarding: the product demand, the quality demand, and the elements of national and international bodies able to ensure the criteria of economic integrity on the European Markets. These aspects represent a set of challenges and indicate the smart component of the management decision assisted by reliable economic models. The present work aims to develop such a model applied to the wheat seed production starting from the study of the specialized literature and using empirical methods. The analysis covers 2016–2020. The main objective of the study is the combination of the information from the observational study to obtain the smart decision model. The study results in the smart model of managerial decision, which represents a real necessity for managers, considering the challenges to which they are subjected. The proposed model in the paper can be used for all types of seeds across the EU and not only. The implementation of the present study by the authors validates the proposed model.

Spodoptera frugiperda MANAGEMENT IN Zea mays L. USING VINASSE AND CORN-MULBERRY MULCHING

“…In first place, high germination percentages are achieved, which guarantee a greater plant population per sowing area and at the same time favor greater soil cover for the crop of agricultural interest with less space for arvense plants (weeds) that compete for nutrients, water and vital space. In the same manner, a greater population correlates directly with greater agricultural yield (Ionescu et al, 2020). In this case, as in maize cultivation, it generates a greater amount of biomass that can be used as soil cover or animal feed.…”

Analysis of the Economic Efficiency of Expenditure for Environmental Protection in Agriculture

“…De Marinis (2020) makes a characterization of the participatory hierarchical analytical process in view of the allocation of resources in the projects for the development of Agricola Ionescu (2020) exposes in his study a new model in agriculture, based on indicators and ecological principles for a sustainable economy Krajewski (2016) develops the idea of economic growth emphasizing the impact of public spending on environmental protection. Luczka (2017) draws an integrated parallel in terms of sustainable consumption of resources, viewed both on the theoretical and practical level.…”

“…In other words, economic efficiency is measured either as an absolute sum from the difference between the value of the effect and the value of the effort, or as a level obtained by the ratio between the effect and the effort or vice versa. Increasing economic efficiency can be achieved by increasing the effects in relation to efforts at a faster pace (Ionescu R.V., 2020). As it is known, the level is the most conclusive indicator in terms of economic efficiency, the only one comparable in time and space.…”

Environmental Impacts and Attitudes of Agricultural Enterprises for Environmental Protection and Sustainable Development

“…This new document sets targets for 2020 and a European vision by 2050, when the current environmental and biodiversity challenges will be overcome. One of the main objectives of the EU 2020 biodiversity strategy is to increase the contribution of agriculture and forestry to the conservation and restoration of biodiversity [18][19][20]. Most indicators of the state of biodiversity (covering species' population trends, extinction risk, habitat extent and condition, and community composition) showed declines, with no significant recent reductions in rate, whereas indicators of pressures on biodiversity (including resource consumption, invasive alien species, nitrogen pollution, overexploitation, and climate change impacts) showed increases [21].…”
