120 YEARS OF RESEARCH, EDUCATION AND VITIVINICULTURAL PRODUCTION AT PIETROASA

摘要

In the year 2010, studies have been started at U.??.A.M.V. Bucharest in order to meet the requirements for the scientificsubstantiation of the development of Lycium barbarum L. plant cultivation on Romanian specific spreading area. Theaforementioned studies focused on the biological, agronomical and health-promoting properties of this plant species.Our study presents interpretations, conclusions and a synthesis regarding biological characteristics such as: growthand development dynamics of the goji plants’ vegetative and reproductive parts, between the years 2010 and 2012. Thequantitative and qualitative aspects of the plants’ fruit production were also part of the research, as fructificationcharacteristics, bio-physical and bio-chemical properties of goji berries and the quantity and quality of the fruit yieldwere all studied. This work also considers the adaptability potential of the Lycium plants to the environmental andclimatic conditions of the Northern Bucharest region by mentioning: the traversing of vegetative and fructifying phasesand the plants’ resistance to diseases and pests. So far, there have been certain differences, between the two studiedLycium barbarum L. varieties, regarding adaptability potentials and biological characteristics. The significance of ourcontribution is that it aims to provide scientific support for the cultivation of goji species in Romania.
