RIULS

Repository of Iasi University of Life Sciences, ROMANIA

Welcome to RIULS!

The mission of the University’s institutional repository is to manage, preserve and disseminate, in open access, the academic and institutional output of the university’s academic community. It also aims to promote values and personalities belonging to Romanian agricultural science, by storing digitized versions of rare books and manuscripts from its collections.

The repository is part of the international movement known as open science, which promotes free access to scientific literature. This translates into maximized impact of the work carried out by researchers, contribution to improving access to knowledge, increased visibility of the institution through the works of its authors and improvement of its search engine ranking.

All documents deposited in the repository receive a unique and persistent identifier called a Handle, thus guaranteeing perpetual access to scientific output through permanent links.

RIULS Repository of Iași University of Life Sciences is indexed in Duraspace, OpenDOAR,CORE,Google Scholar,BASE (Bielefeld Academic Search Engine) and ROAR (Registry of Open Access Repositories), global Directories of Open Access Repositories.

Observations on arthropod species present in wheat crops
(Editura “Ion Ionescu de la Brad” Iași, 2025) Prisacariu, Liviu-Adrian; Tălmaciu, Mihai; Tălmaciu, Nela; Herea, Monica; Hagiu, Otilia
These observations were made in a wheat crop located within Ezăreni Teaching and Research Station (Ion Ionescu de la Brad University of Life Sciences in Iași). The material was collected using entomological nets using the mowing method, and direct observations were also made on the plants throughout the vegetation period. During 2025, 9 nettings were made at intervals of 12-17 days from April to August. The material collected from the field was labeled, cleaned of plant debris (leaves, soil particles, etc.), brought to the laboratory, preserved in a 40% ethyl alcohol solution, and then the arthropod species were identified. Among the more common arthropod species were: aphids, dipterans (Chloropidae, Cecidomyiidae, Muscidae), cicadas, Formicomus pedestris, Haplothrips tritici, Stenamma debile, Necremnus leucarthos, etc. The most common useful species were: spiders from the Lycosidae family, Necremnus leucarthos and Aphanogmus abdominalis.

Ichneumon wasps from Natura 2000 protected sites Mârzești and Bârca grasslands (Iași County, Romania)
(Editura “Ion Ionescu de la Brad” Iași, 2025) Lungu Constantineanu, Camil-Ștefan; Blaga, Tatiana
The evaluation of the entomofauna biodiversity in Natura 2000 protected sites was carried out in the Mârzești and Bârca meadows, collecting samples from both the protected area and their buffer zones. 10 specimens of ichneumonids were collected, from 9 genera: Barylypa pallida, Cryptus viduatorius, Diplazon laetatorius, Promethes sulcator, Baric29hneumon albicaudatus, Colpotrochia cincta, Acropimpla pictipes, Itoplectis alternans and Pimpla turionellae.We establish the existence of a host-parasitoid relationship in the Bârca-buffer zone. Acropimpla pictipes (Grav.) is hosted by the defoliator Anacampsis populella Cl. (Gelechiidae, Lepidoptera), whose larvae feed on Populus and Salix leaves, found in neighbouring habitats.

Can remote sensing vegetation indices be used in identifying erosion-prone areas?
(“Ion Ionescu de la Brad” University of Life Sciences, Iaşi, 2025) Ruben, Miron; Vasiliniuc, Ionuț
In this study six vegetation indices were analyzed for Tutova Hills, years 2014-2023, highlighting spatio-temporal variations in the health of vegetation, soil moisture and surface temperatures, parameters directly correlated with land susceptibility to erosion. Of the six indices, the one with the highest accuracy in detecting water stress and implicit areas with moisture deficit was NDII. This index correlates very well with high soil water content and the health of the vegetation, which makes it accurate in estimating the risk of erosion. The conclusion is that such indices can be highly useful in predicting erosion-prone areas, because vegetation cover plays a major role in stabilizing soil and reducing erosion risk, being frequently integrated in erosion prediction models, from estimating RUSLE C-factor to temporal analyses or machine learning programs. Still, there are limitations related to data accuracy, but mostly to the need for an extensive field validation.

Research on the current status of the geodesic base for monitoring displacements at dams
(“Ion Ionescu de la Brad” University of Life Sciences, Iaşi, 2025) Rusu, Bogdan; Luca, Mihail
Monitoring displacements at storage dams requires the presence of a geodetic network of a certain complexity. Dams in Romania were built over long periods of time, and most of them have an operating life of over 50-70 years. The geodetic network for monitoring displacements at these dams was executed according to the topographic plans existing at the time of design. At the current stage, the movement tracking system at a dam is carried out using the microtriangulation method. This system must be updated and optimized for the use of modern data acquisition equipment, for their rapid processing and transmission to decision-makers. Research conducted on a series of dams in eastern Romania has highlighted a series of problems that create a risk in the classic monitoring of dam displacements. A main problem at a series of dams is the updating of topographic plans, the geodetic tracking network and the equipment provided. Satellite techniques for taking over geodetic data are effective for monitoring displacements in "real time". Real-time monitoring of parameters at a dam allows for rapid intervention in assessing a risk and adopting safety measures. To this end, the current geodetic networks of dams must be analyzed and modernized by attaching modern equipment and software that can take over real-time displacements.

Study of the behavior of some simple mixtures of grasses and perennial legumes under climate change conditions
(“Ion Ionescu de la Brad” University of Life Sciences, Iaşi, 2025) Grigoraș, Bogdan-Ioan; Nazare, Adrian-Ilie; Chirilă, Mihaela; Vîntu, Vasile; Costel Samuil
Romania has over 4.8 million hectares of permanent grasslands. Permanent grasslands contribute little to animal feed compared to temporary grasslands because they are of poor quality and produce low yields without proper management. Sown temporary grasslands are a good alternative to degraded or deteriorating permanent grasslands, providing high-quality feed in terms of both quantity and quality. To establish the relationship between species in a given pedoclimatic area, periodic research is required to develop and standardize new mixtures of perennial grasses and legumes. This experiment was conducted at the Ezăreni farm of the University of Life Sciences from Iasi. Observations within the sown variants focused on the number of shoots per m², plant height at harvest and dry matter production per hectare. In the first year of vegetation, a single mowing was performed, and yields ranged from 2446.1 kg/ha for variant a6 to 4653.0 kg/ha for variant a1. The average number of shoots/m² in the first year of vegetation ranged from 632 shoots/m² in variant a1 to 2,757 shoots/m² in the case of the mixture variant a9. In the first year of vegetation, high yields were recorded in the variants where Onobrychis viciifolia Scop. accounted for more than 50% of the crop.
