In the protected area Natural Park Comana located in Giurgiu County, a survey was carried out between April and June 2021, in order to analyze the water quality related to the aquatic diversity. In the samples collected from Comana Pond, several representatives belonging to four kingdoms were identified: Bacteria (blue-green algae, bacteria), Protista (single-celled and colonial green algae, diatoms, euglenoid flagellates, ciliates), Plantae (filamentous green algae, aquatic freshwater plants) and Animalia (European perch, rudd, pike, Prussian carp). Plankton organisms Achromatium sp., Merismopedia sp., Spirilla sp., Spirulina sp. (bacteria); Gomphonema sp., Melosira sp., Paramecium caudatum (chromists); Desmococcus sp, Ulothrix sp., Volvox sp. (chlorophyte green algae) and also the parasitic nematode Philometroides sanguineus were mentioned for the first time in the Comana Pond. A biometric analysis was performed on a total number of 91 Carassius gibelio individuals and negative pattern of growth and also a fish well-being were postulated. The parasite P. sanguineus was detected in the caudal fin of two Prussian carp individuals. Water samples were collected from 7 sampling points (SP) and were subjected to physico-chemical analysis. It were determined the following parameters: pH, electrical conductivity (EC), total hardness (TH), chemical oxygen demand (COD), phosphate phosphorus (P-PO₄^3-), nitrate nitrogen (N-NO₃^-), nitrite nitrogen (N-NO₂^-). Generally, it was concluded that Comana Pond is a dynamic ecosystem that meets favorable conditions for the growth and development of aquatic organisms.

For the first time in Kyiv, Ukraine, the insect pest complex is studied of six open-ground woody plants of Araliaceae Juss. (Eleutherococcus senticosus (Rupr. et Maxim.) Maxim., Eleutherococcus sessiliflorus (Rupr. & Maxim.) S. Y. Hu., Hedera helix L., Aralia cordata Thunb., Aralia elata (Miq.) Seem., Kalopanax septemlobus (Thunb.) Koizd.). We monitored collections of the three botanical gardens in the city, and qualitatively and quantitatively analyzed the diversity of pests. Five insect species were found that damaged the vegetative and generative organs of plants over the vegetative season: Sciaphobus squalidus Gyll., Cteniopus flavus Scop., Aphis fabae Scop., Cetonia aurata L., Pulvinaria Targ. Four different trophic groups of insects damaged the aboveground plant parts, causing injuries to the assimilation apparatus, young shoots, buds, and generative organs, respectively. The phytophages and their impact on the plants varied depending on the species, aggressive behavior, and the plants’ reactions to injury.

The black bean aphid Aphis fabae constitutes a dangerous pest. The use of pesticides provokes undesirable effect on the environment and the human health. Thus, the research for methods with low negative secondary effect becomes very important. The purpose of this study is the screening of the aphicidal activity of extracts from Marrubium deserti and Hertia cheirifolia. Moreover, the effect of the same treatments was tested on the orientation of A. fabae.
Through our study, ANOVA revealed significant differences between the studied essential oils. Those of H. cheirifolia with a concentration of 10000 ppm were the most effective with 96.67% of corrected mortality rate after 6 hours. Whereas for aqueous extracts, the mortality rate were less important and it reached only 30% after 24 h for H. cheirifolia 30% extracted by maceration. For the test of orientation, the results showed that after 24 hours, the essential oils of H. cheirifolia with a concentration of 10000 ppm and the extracts obtained by maceration of the two plants had an important repellency rate superior than 70%.

Like all parts of the North- east Algeria, the study area has considerable surface water wealth, to which attention must be reserved. River Seybouse, which is fed by a network of rivers, is one of the most important rivers of this region; it drains the Guelma basin towards West-East clearly on nearly 45 km with a total contribution estimated at 408 Hm3/ year to Boudraoua station (Bouchegouf). In parallel with the rapid population growth, record the development of agricultural and industrial sectors that knows the study area in recent decades, River Seybouse, became the seat of important illegal dumping and polluting discharges. For this purpose, samples of water samples were conducted at nine stations during wet periods and dry periods. A multidisciplinary analysis concerned in particular, the physicochemical parameters (T°, pH, CE, O₂, Cl^-, PO₄, NO₂ and NO₃), the evaluation of contamination by trace elements (Fe, Mn, Cu, Zn). The analysis results show that the waters of this river are characterized by high natural mineralization and concentrations substantially higher than the standards recommended by OMS and Algerian standards of the various parameters reflecting generally the waters of this course of water are of good quality. The concentrations of metallic elements are not alarming, and the degree of metal contamination differs from one site to another depending on the distance away from the source of pollution.

In some combinations obtained by cyclic hybridization between mutant/recombinant lines and several winter wheat varieties, it was studied the participation of genotypic variance, environment and genotype-environment relationship for characters such as: main stem length, leaf area, number of spikelets/spike, number of grains/spike and weight of 1000 grains. The prognostic indicators regarding the choice of forms according to the phenotype were determined winter wheat genotypes the participation of genotypic variance, environment and genotype-environment relationship was studied for characters such as: length of main stem, leaf area, indicating the value of the paternal forms able to contribute to the improvement of each studied character. The genotype-environment relationship can be appreciated as a prognostic indicator when establishing limits for the use of agro-technical factors in order to increase production.

To establish the dependence of the influence of tillage and fertilization system in the conditions of short-rotation grain-fallow-cultivated crop rotation on the degree of weediness of winter wheat is the aim of the paper. Field and laboratory methods were used. The research was carried out in a long-term out-station experiment of Veselopodilsk research and selection station, on typical low-alkalinized chornozem black soil. The use of combined tillage contributed to the growth of weediness of crops, where in the unfertilized version there were 50.3 pcs/m², while using the plowing 46.8 pcs/m² were observed. When using the organic-mineral fertilization system 21.9 pcs/m² in combined tillage, and 16.4 pcs/m² in plowing were counted. When plowing post-harvest residues, an increase in the number of weeds was observed due to the use of plowing - 23.7 pcs./m², and the use of combined tillage - 20.8 pcs/m². Plowing contributed to the appearance of fewer weeds than in combined tillage, both in the unfertilized plot and with the use of organic-mineral fertilization system by 3.7 and 5.5 pcs/m², respectively. Plowing of post-harvest residues on the background of mineral fertilizing during plowing increased by 2.9 pcs/m² compared to combined tillage. The use of fertilizers significantly reduced weediness of crops, regardless of the type of tillage.

Determination of the combining ability of varieties and F1 of spring barley is a necessary element in breeding for productivity. The results of the analysis of the general combining ability (GCA) and specific combining ability (SCА) make it possible to organize work on a specific studied feature, to select components for obtaining new hybrid combinations. The method of diallelic crosses was used in the work. The effects of GCA and SCА of spring barley were revealed on the feature of "duration of the germination-heading period". Between the effects of GCA and the estimates of the feature "duration of the seedling-heading period" in varieties there is a high correlation, therefore the value of the feature is an analogous feature of the breeding value, as well as the GCA effect. The stability of GCA effects over the years does not differ from the stability of the germination-heading period, which indicates the same efficiency of selection for any of these features. In the context of climate change towards warming, the determination of the combining ability is an additional tool for predicting selections for this feature.

In this study it was aimed to investigate the effect of biogas digested (BD) on the growth and some potential toxic element (B, Cd, Cr, Ni, Co and Pb) concentrations of wheat grown under greenhouse conditions. For this reason, 0, 15 and 30 tha^-1 of BD were applied to the soils and left incubations during 0, 30 and 60 days. After incubation period is ended wheat seeds were sawn and left for growth during 2 months. Results indicated that BD dosages and incubation periods increased plant dry weight. Applications of BD did not affect B, Cd and Co concentrations of wheat and Cr and Ni concentrations decreased generally with the BD dosages. Similarly, incubation showed decreasing effect on Pb concentration of wheat. Plant Co, Cr and Pb uptakes did not vary with the applications, other element uptakes increased in the parallels of plant dry weights. Looking at the element concentrations of wheat it was seen that all element concentrations were in the ranges of acceptable levels. So, it was concluded that the application of BD did not pose a risk for potential toxic elements on the growth of the wheat.

Lead, one of the toxic metals with no biological function, is a widely dispersed heavy metal found in many forms in natural resources on earth, and anthropogenic activities continue to increase the concentration of Pb in the environment. In this study, it was aimed to determine the effects of different Pb concentrations (0, 5, 25, and 50 mg/L) on physiological parameters and mineral contents of safflower seedlings grown hydroponically under controlled conditions. After two weeks of Pb application, Pb and macro- (K, Ca, Mg) and micro- (Zn, Fe, Cu) element contents of the seedling parts, as well as photosynthetic pigments, total carbohydrate, total phenolic compound, and malondialdehyde (MDA) contents were determined. There was a dose-dependent increase in the Pb contents of the seedling organs. The highest Pb content was found in the roots and the lowest in the leaves. Lead toxicity has been found to impair nutrient uptake and transport, causing nutrient imbalance. In addition, it was shown that Pb toxicity from the changes in photosynthetic pigment, carbohydrate, and phenolic compound contents caused physiological changes in the seedling tissues. Besides, it clearly revealed that the increase in the amount of MDA triggers oxidative stress, which is the secondary stress caused by Pb toxicity.
