The production of ornamental plants represents an important branch of our horticulture. The growing area is relatively small (round 2800 ha), the production value, however, a rather large. Notwithstanding, its financial balance is inactive because the demand surpasses the supply copiously. The most popular plants are as follows: carnation, gerbera, rose, bulbous flowers, chrysanthemum, other cutflowers, cutgreens and Gypsophyla — their total production value makes up to Ft 8-9 billion. The area of ornamental nurseries — about 800-900 ha — is to be found mostly on the western part of our country. Our accession to the EU will have undoubtedly an impact on our ornamental plant production. We must take into account, that in greenhouse production the specialization extends all over the world, field production over a limited region. Our chances will not deteriorate by joining the EU. The buyer — chiefly because of ecological purposes — will prefer the domestic product to the foreign one. By the way, our products will be competitive, as far as quality or price is concerned, with those of western Europe. Last but not least, we may hope a greater saleability of home-bred, special varieties and cultivars, the so-called "hungaricums", both in the domestic as well as export markets. It is anticipated that we will have a good turnover with potted ornamental plants and flower seedlings. Our nursery products will become marketable too. To exploit the opportunity, of course, the necessary conditions are to be created. First of all, we need development in research, with special regard to breeding, at the same time in education, in extension service, in the training of experts, on a high level. Some tasks can be solved, no doubt by improvement of the organisation within the branch. At the same time the state subsidy is indispensable in order to promote both the technical and the research activities. State subsidy is also necessary to build up more advantageous conditions of sales like in some foreign countries (e.g. the Netherlands).

The work summarizes the prospective conceptions of all the five horticultural branches. These branches (vegetable, fruit, grape and wine, herb and ornamental plant production) with the production of propagating material together amount to round 30-35% of the total value of the entire plant production. The performance of horticultural branches declined significantly because of privatisation and lack of capital. The accession to the EU urges the development of modernization and competitiveness, therefore the state subsidies are indispensable.

Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa faktor produksi yang berpengaruh signifikan terhadap jumlah produksi tanaman hias Dracaena di Kabupaten Sukabumi adalah luas lahan, benih, dan tenaga kerja dimana kenaikan atau penurunan penggunaan ketiga faktor produksi tersebut akan mengakibatkan kenaikan atau penurunan jumlah produksi Dracaena. Pengalokasian faktor produksi luas lahan, benih, pestisida, dan tenaga kerja pada usahatani tanaman hias Dracaena di Kabupaten Sukabumi belum efisien sehingga penggunaannya perlu ditambahkan untuk mencapai efisien, sedangkan penggunaan faktor produksi pupuk pada usahatani tanaman hias Dracaena tidak efisien sehingga penggunaannya perlu dikurangi.Kata Kunci: efisiensi alokatif, faktor produksi usahatani, tanaman hias DracaenaAbstractThis study aims to identify the factors that can affect the amount of Dracaena ornamental plant production and analyze the level of allocative efficiency of the use of Dracaena ornamental plant farming production factors in Sukabumi Regency. This research was conducted in Sukabumi Regency as the largest Dracaena ornamental plant center in West Java Province in January to June 2018. The research was conducted by survey method by sampling using simple random sampling. The study was conducted on 35 Dracaena ornamental plant farmers in Sukabumi Regency with the aim of the export market. The data collected was analyzed using the analysis of factors that influence the amount of ornamental plant production Dracaena used an analysis of production functions and an analysis of the efficiency of the use of farm production factors. The results showed that the factors of production that had a significant effect on the amount of production of Dracaena ornamental plants in Sukabumi Regency were land area, seeds, and labor where the increase or decrease in the use of the three production factors would result in an increase or decrease in the amount of Dracaena production. Allocation of production factors for land area, seeds, pesticides, and labor in Dracaena ornamental plant farming in Sukabumi Regency has not been efficient so that their use needs to be added to achieve efficiency, while the use of fertilizer production factors in Dracaena ornamental plant farming is inefficient so their use needs to be reduced.Keywords: allocative efficiency, farming production factors, Dracaena ornamental plants

This study looks at the research education in universities and is aimed at assessment of the Baltic – Nordic Higher Education Establishments’ participation to the EU Horizon 2020 Framework Programme on basis of the open source data. The author analyses university interest in Horizon 2020 support for doctoral students’ training, correlation between university PhD intensity and involvement in research projects, correlation between Horizon 2020 success and World university rankings, participation comparison of  Nordic universities versus the Baltic ones. A brief overview of universities’ commitment to Sustainable development goals is also included. The study concludes that Nordic universities are more thoroughly engaged than the Baltic ones and are taking advantage of the Horizon 2020 opportunities; however, Estonia has a remarkable success. Although Nordic universities are looking for collaboration partners further into Western Europe than to the neighbours across the Baltic Sea, for teaming activities Baltic universities choose Nordic mentors. Nordic universities are more involved in activities leading to excellent research. On contrary – in many cases participation of Baltic universities is limited to coordination of research activities without a direct access to the leading European science communities and respective possibilities for students.

The paper aims to determine the impact of direct payments on the production, costs and profitability of individual farms. Our research on individual farms (participating in the EU-FADN) was carried out in Silesian region (for years 2005– –2008). Our studies indicated that the highest total production was achieved on farms in the group with the highest level of direct payments. In the group of the largest farms (in terms of the area) the share of plant production in the structure of total production increased with then rise of direct payments. Direct payments influenced the changes in the direction and structure of agricultural production in the farms. They also stabilized farm incomes in periods of unfavorable economic conditions for agricultural production.

Abstract The importance of segment of flowers and ornamental plants in agribusiness are growing. Researches that analyze the situation of different sector of this segment may contribute to establishing politics and actions to stimulate its development. In order to attend this purpose, the aim of this research was to analyze segments of the flower and ornamental plant production chain, focusing on producers and retailers. For that, two different surveys were applied, composed of direct and indirect questions. The application was performed online, using social media or in person, in the company location or in trend fairs. It was observed that the flower and ornamental plant production is mainly a familiar business. Another important issue is that the springtime consists of a new date for flower and ornamental plant commercialization. The number of retailers has been increasing, and this segment had some improvements as sales of different products and services. The flower and ornamental plant commercialization are still, in the majority, in physical location shops, besides of all the technologies available for online sales.

Rural Training

In most highly developed countries, landscaping and ornamental plants are routine components of the urban environment. However, in many Third World countries, this is not the situation outside of the larger cities. Landscaping and ornamentals are associated with hotels, public parks, offices, government buildings, and wealth; they are not significant commodities in rural settings. However, as urban areas in these countries—such as Senegal—expand and modernize, there is an increased demand for ornamental plants. Senegal’s urban population has almost doubled during the past five decades, increasing from 23% in 1960 to 43% in 2013. New jobs and sources of income are available for individuals who are properly trained in ornamental plant production and maintenance. Senegal has several rural training centers where some courses in agronomy and vegetable production are taught, but ornamental plant production is not included in the curriculum. This U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) Farmer-to-Farmer project was conducted at one of those rural training centers at Djilor to introduce ornamental horticulture into the curriculum and to make students aware of ornamental plant production practices and the opportunities available to them if they become involved in a horticulture business.

AbstractOne of the more striking, surprising, and optimism-inducing features of the contemporary international system has been the decline of interstate war. The key question for students of international relations and comparative politics is how this happy state of affairs came about. In short, was this a universal phenomenon or did some regions play a more important and pioneering role in bringing about peaceful change? As part of the roundtable “International Institutions and Peaceful Change,” this essay suggests that Western Europe generally and the European Union in particular played pivotal roles in transforming the international system and the behavior of policymakers. This helped to create the material and ideational conditions in which other parts of the world could replicate this experience, making war less likely and peaceful change more feasible. This argument is developed by comparing the experiences of the EU and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations and their respective institutional offshoots. The essay uses this comparative historical analysis to assess both regions’ capacity to cope with new security challenges, particularly the declining confidence in institutionalized cooperation.

Professional peat-free substrates for ornamental plant production are increasingly required by nursery growers. Most promising materials are green compost, coconut coir dust, and woody fibre, used alone or in mixtures. One of the major concerns is pH, usually higher than optimal. In this work, a method based on a three-step procedure was adopted to acidify three organic matrices alone or in mixtures and to individuate the most suitable product, between iron(II) sulphate 7-hydrate and elemental sulphur chips. Firstly, the determination of the buffering capacity by dilution with sulphuric acid was carried out to determine dosages. Afterwards, an incubation trial of 84 (iron(II) sulphate) or 120 days (sulphur chips) was conducted on matrices and substrate mixtures with calculated doses in a climatic chamber maintained at 21 °C. Iron(II) sulphate resulted not suitable because it caused a rapid, but not lasting, pH lowering and an excessive electrical conductivity (EC) increase. Sulphur chips could instead guarantee an adequate and lasting pH lowering. These results were then validated in the open field trial on matrices and substrates. The proposed acidification methodology could be considered in developing new substrates, but the rapidity of pH acidification and EC increase on plant and mineral nutrition should be further investigated.
