Agriculture has the objective of producing food by growing plants and raising animals, but being a productive activity, depending on the technologies used, the level of intensification and specialization may result in natural resources and environmental degradation: soil, water, air. By the early 1990s, Romania practiced an intensive agriculture based on the concentration and specialization of production. Intensive chemical treatments were used to control weeds, pests, and diseases. After reconstitution ownership of agricultural land was practiced an extensive agriculture with minimal inputs. There are used small amounts of chemical fertilizers and pesticides; monoculture or short rotation is practiced. Both agricultural systems affect the environment and natural resources, endangering their long-term productive potential. In this context, a viable alternative to these agricultural systems is sustainable agriculture that combines harmoniously tillage, crop rotation, crop rotation length, use of agrochemical substances to achieve stable production, while preserving quality of resources.

У результаті польових досліджень було встановлено вплив попередників, системи удобрення і способів основного обробітку ґрунту на ураження рослин пшениці озимої кореневими гнилями в короткоротаційних сівозмінах зони недостатнього зволоження. Найбільше уражених рослин пшениці озимої кореневими гнилями виявилось в зернопросапній сівозміні, де попередником була сама пшениця, а також в зернопаропросапній сівозміні, де попередником був чорний пар. Найменше уражених кореневими гнилями рослин пшениці озимої (15,3–20,0 %) за найнижчої інтенсивності розвитку хвороби (5,8–7,3 %) спостерігали після кукурудзи на силос. Проведення поверхневого обробітку ґрунту на глибину 10–12 см під зернові культури, в тім числі й під пшеницю озиму, на фоні 6,25 т гною + N33,8Р45,0К33,8 + солома + гичка в просапній сівозміні після кукурудзи на силос спричинило найбільше ураження рослин пшениці кореневими гнилями (24,4 %) з підвищенням інтенсивності розвитку хвороби до величини 10,5 %. Проведення оранки під усі культури в просапній сівозміні за внесення за ротацію сівозміни з розрахунку на 1 га ріллі 6,25 т гною + N33,8Р45,0К33,8 + солома + гичка забезпечило найвищу урожайність зерна пшениці озимої – 4,39 т/га. As a result of field studies, the effect of predecessors, fertilizer systems and methods of basic tillage on the damage of winter wheat plants by root rot in short-rotation crop rotations in the zone of inadequate moisture was established. The most affected wheat plants of winter rot was found in grain sown crop rotation, where the forerunner was the wheat itself, as well as in the grain-para-breeding crop rotation, where the black pairs were the precursor. The least affected by root rot of winter wheat plants (15.3–20.0 %) at the lowest intensity of disease (5.8–7.3 %) was observed after corn silage. Conducting surface cultivation of soil at a depth of 10–12 cm under grain crops, including under winter wheat, against the background of 6.25 t of manure + N33.8R45.0K33.8 + straw + gill in the crop rotation after corn on silage caused most defeat of wheat plants by root rot (24.4 %) with an increase in the intensity of the disease to a value of 10.5 %. Providing plowing for all crops in the fertile crop rotation for rotation of crop rotation per hectare of arable land of 6.25 tons of manure + N33.8R45.0K33.8 + straw + lace ensured the highest yield of wheat of winter wheat – 4.39 tons/ha.

In the present paper are presented the experimental results of biomass gasification, the biochair was produced from vineyards by controlled pyrolysis at 750 �C, in order to increase the fertility of soils, it was found the increase of the fertility produced by the development of the vegetables in the soil to which was added biochar. Soil was added to soil 4 g/dm3 biochar, 8 g/dm3 biochar, the soil had no high humidity, was taken at a time when it had not rained for at least one week, the soil pH was 8, in the soil with 8 g/dm3 biochar the plants increased compared to the soil with 4 g/dm3 and the soil without biochar. The biochar resulting from pyrolysis and gasification processes is a valuable amendment to agricultural soils and an efficient and economical way to seize carbon. Using biochar it is possible to increase the diversity of agricultural land in an environmentally sound way in areas with depleted soils, limited organic resources and insufficient water for development. Helps to soil carbon sequestration with negative CO2 balance, increases the productive potential of agricultural ecosystems.

Climate change is one of the greatest threats to human beings, and agriculture is one of the fields that is most negatively affected by climate change. Farmers around the world and global food supply chains are impacted by the more extreme weather phenomena and increased damage of diseases and pests caused by climate change. Today, almost all agricultural enterprises and farms consider climate change a serious long-term risk for their production. Agricultural land systems can produce significant greenhouse gases (GHGs) by the conversion of forests to crop- and animal lands, and also through the weak management of crops and livestock. Around the world, cultivation and cattle production accounts for 25% of global GHG emissions (Javeline, ‎2014). However, under suitable conditions, agriculture can create environmental conditions that can help minimize pollution and the negative effects of climate change including carbon absorption by green plants in forests, and fields for watershed protection and biodiversity conservation. Sustainable agriculture helps farmers to adapt, maintain, and improve productivity without applying harmful techniques. In turn, this allows farms to manage and mitigate climate-related risks in their supply chains. The Sustainable Agriculture Network (SAN) has found new ways to incorporate smart climate cultivation methods into all farming practices to help farms and enterprises carry out agriculture sustainably.
