Research on the Cultivation of 8 Marigold Varieties  (Calendula Officinalis L.) in Various Conditions of Fertilization  in the Jucu, Cluj

The experimental field UASVM Cluj-Napoca, from Jucu in 2008, we made some research on the behavior of eight marigold varieties in three conditions of soil fertilization with manure. The year 2008 was characterized by an amount close to average rainfall, but a mean temperature of the vegetation period increased by 6.7°C. Climatic conditions were favorable marigold cultivation. The marigold cultivars have made a number of biometric measurements such as waist measurement of average plants, diameter of inflorescences, inflorescence mass of 100, the production of inflorescences and drying efficiency. Plant size in the eight varieties of marigold was between 64 and 92 cm. Average diameter of inflorescences was between 4.7 and 8.25 cm. Mass of 100 marigold inflorescence ranged from 240 to 90 g and the production of fresh inflorescences was between 6,890 and 10,200 kg/ha. Yields the largest inflorescence was obtained from cultivars „Belezza del Pacifico", "Cluj 2"and "Starsem 922", with over 9600 kg fresh inflorescences /ha. Production at marigold is strongly influenced by genotype and fertilizer. The average yield was drying 6 / 1. There is a direct correlation between size and mass of their inflorescences.

Calendula Officinalis L

In the experimental field of UASVM Cluj-Napoca from Jucu we performed, between 2008-2010, a series of research on the behavior of eight varieties of marigold, in three conditions of soil fertilization with manure. The average yearly air temperature is 10.71 º C Jucu in 2008, 11.12 º C in 2009 and 11.21 º C in 2010 and during the growing season (aprilie-sept.) of 17.70 ° C 19.07 ° C and 18, 08 ° C. In terms of rainfall, 2008 was very dry (less than 150 mm from the annual average), 2009 excessively dry (less than 250 mm annual average) and 2010 was very wet (83 mm more than the annual average). Climatic conditions were favorable to grow marigolds. A series of biometric measurements have been conducted on the eight varieties of marigold, such as waist measurement of the average plant, the production of flowers and drying efficiency, the correlation between average plant size and production. Average plant size in eight varieties of marigold, in 2008-2010 was between 67.44 and 84.78 cm. Production of fresh flowers was between 7400 and 8507 kg / ha. The biggest production of inflorescences was obtained from varieties of ”Belezza del Pacifico”, ”Cluj 2” and ”Starsem 922”, with over 9.000 kg / ha of fresh flowers. Production of Marigold is strongly influenced by genotype and fertilization. The average yield of drying was 6 / 1. Between the average height of marigold plant and production there's a direct link. The increase of production is influenced by the average size of marigold plant.

The article describes the differentiation of collection samples of marigold at Experimental station of medicinal plants using cluster analysis as to sixteen components of the group of flavonoids, highlighted with high performance liquid chromatogram. The selected six clusters, which are characterized by the complex of economically valuable sings: plant height, diameter of the bush, productivity of plants by dry inflorescences and seeds, weight of 1000 seeds, vegetation period and the content of total flavonoids. We developed and presented numerical score for each of these sings of the six clusters. According to the results of the integrated valuation we found the highest amount of points at the samples of cluster 5, which was 35 points. The selected varieties of marigold of the fifth cluster such as Radio, Berezotits’ka sonyachna, Oranzhevyy blysk, and a sample Co-12-115 were found to be promising for future use in the selection process.

The effect of plant growth biostimulants «Vermymag», «Vermyiodis» and «Vermystym» on the content of enzymes of antioxidant protection and metabolites of the prooxidant-antioxidant system of C. officinalis flowers of the cultivated variety «Poliova Krasunia» cultivated in the soil and climatic conditions of the Precarpathian region has been analyzed. It was shown that applying biostimulants during cultivation of C. officinalis flowers contributed to the increase (p<0.05-0.01) of antioxidant enzymes activity compared with control plants. In particular, the superoxide dismutase and catalase activity was higher with applying biostimulants «Vermymag» and «Vermyiodis». The biostimulant «Vermymag» had a positive influence on the peroxidase activity, contributing to the increase of enzyme content up to 21% comparing with the control. The content of ascorbic acid increased under the influence of all biostimulants in plant cells. The use of stimulants positively influenced the redox state of C. officinalis cells, contributing to suppressing lipoperoxidation processes and increasing the resistance of plants to the action of stress factors. It is found out that growth biostimulants promote the balance of prooxidant-antioxidant processes in C. officinalis plants.

Differences in growth and productivity between genotypes of common bean (Phaseolus vulgarisL.) and cowpea (Vigna unguiculataL.) in the Sadovo region of BulgariaThe study examined the differences between 10 accessions of common bean and cowpea during the vegetation period. Different stages of development and elements of yield were analysed in the climatic conditions of Sadovo (Bulgaria), which is characterised by hot summers and insufficient rainfalls. All genotypes were planted in the second 10 days of April. They emerged 10-15 days after sowing. The flowering stage occurred after 28-34 days in common bean and 45-60 days in cowpea. The vegetation period duration was much longer in cowpea (over 98 days) than in the common bean (less then 80 days). The reproductive organs (number of pods and seeds per plant, size of pods and seeds, weight of pods and seeds per plant) were quite different for the two crops. The mean number of pods per plant was 8.84 in common beans and 13.22 for cowpea; the number of seeds per pod was 4.05 for beans 10.56 for cowpea; the number of seeds per plant was 25.65 for beans and 93.47 for cowpea. The bean seeds were larger than the cowpea seeds, with 100-seed weights of 41.86 g and 15.73 g, respectively. Under the climatic conditions of Sadovo, the cowpea accessions showed a more stable yield, resulting in more pods and seeds per plant and weight of seeds per plant, when compared with common bean accessions.

This study provides the analysis of drought conditions of vegetation period in 1982-2014 year in two Lithuanian regions: Kaunas and Telšiai. To identify drought conditions the Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI) was applied. SPI was calculated using the long-term precipitation record of 1982–2014 with in-situ meteorological data. Calculation step of SPI was taken 1 month considering only vegetation period (May, June, July, August, September). The purpose of investigation was to evaluate the humidity/aridity of vegetation period and find out the probability of droughts occurrence under Lithuanian climatic conditions. It was found out that according SPI results droughts occurred in 14.5 % of all months in Kaunas region and in 15.8 % in Telšiai region. Wet periods in Kaunas region occurred in 15.8 %, and in Telšiai region occurrence of wet periods was – 18.8 % from all evaluated months. According SPI evaluation near normal were 69.7 % of total months during period of investigation in Kaunas and respectively – 65.5 % in Telšiai. The probability for extremely dry period under Lithuania climatic conditions are pretty low – 3.0 % in middle Lithuania and 2.4 % in western part of Lithuania.
