This study was conducted to investigate the relationships between yearly variations of elimatic elements and yearly variations of productivity in potato. In addition, correlation coefficients among yield and yield components were estimated. The data of yield and yield components were investigated for 9 years from 1987 to 1995. The meteorological data what gathered at the Goheung Weather Station for the same period of crop growing season were used to find out the relationships between climatic elements and crop productivity. Yearly variation of the daily minimum temperature in March and April were large with coefficients of variation (C.V.) of 126.0%, 368%, respectively, but the variation of the daily mean and maximum temperature in May and June were relative small. Stem length and number of stem show more C.V. of 9.3%, 14.3%, respectively, but the variation of the yield was relative small with 3.7%. Correlation coefficients between the amount of precipitation in April and yield, yield and daily mean temperature in June were negatively significant at the level of 5, 1 %, respectively. Correlation coefficients between the growth habits and yield are positively significant at the level of 5, 1 %, respectively. Simple linear regression equations by the least square method are estimated for stem length (Yl) and the precipitation in April(X) as Y,=82.47-0.11x (R2=0.3959), and for yield(Y2) and the precipitation in April(X) as Y,=2003.61-0.94X (R2=0.5418).

To determine the optimum planting density in Alisma plantago in the southern areas of Korea, Alisma plantago local cultivar was grown under different planting density. The plant height, number of stems and diameter of root were 30cm, 12 and 3.4mm respectively on the planting density, row 20cm $\times$ intrarow 35cm. The fresh yield of root and dry yield of root were 261.2Kg110a, 211.5Kg/10a respectively on the planting density, row 20cm x intrarow 35cm. Therefore, the proper planting density for high yield bumper crop of Alisma plantago for exporting to Japan is planting density with row 20cm $\times$ intrarow 35cm.

To determine the optimum sowing date and nursery period in Alisma piantago in the southern area of Korea, Alisma plantago local cultivar was grown under three different sowing dates and nursery periods. The plant height, leaf width and leaf length at the area sown on the seedbed in June 30 and conducted the growing seedling in 30 days is 12.1cm, 2.5cm and 3.1cm respectively and it shows tess decrease than that of plant height, leaf width and leaf length with 12.3cm, 2.6cm and 3.2cm respectively which was sown on the seedbed in June 20 and carried out the growing seedling in 30 days, and it also shows less decrease than that of plant height, leaf width and leaf length with 15.2cm, 3.1cm and 5.2cm respectively at the area sown on the seedbed in July 10 and condected the growing seedling in the same date. The stem length, number of stems and diameter of root at the area sown on the seedbed in June 30 and conducted the growing seedling in 30 days is 31cm, 11 and 3.7cm respectively and it shows more increase than that of stem length, number of stem and diameter of and on the other hand shows tess decrease than that of stem length, number of stems and diameter of root with 30cm, 10cm, 35cm respectively which was sown on the seedbed in 30 days, and on the other hand shows less decrease than that of stem length, number of stems and diameter of root with 32cm,13cm,3.9cm respectively at the area sown on the seedbed in July 10 and conducted the growing seedling in the same date, The fresh yield of roots at the area sown on the seedbed in June 30 and conducted the growing seedling in 30 days is 431.4Kg/10a and it shows more increase of 26.9Kg than that of fresh yield of root with 410.59g110a which was sown on the seedbed in lune 20an4 carried out the growing seedling in 30 days, and it also shows more increase of 7Kg than that of fresh yield of root with 430.4Kg/10a at the area sown on the seedbed in July 10 and conducted the growing seedling in the same date. The dry yield of roots at the area on the seedbed in June 30 and conducted the growing seedling in 30 days is 351.9Kg110a which was sown on the seedbed in June 20 and carried out the growing seedling in 30 days, and it also shows more increase of 16.4Kg than that of dry yield of root with 335.4Kg110a at the area sown on the seedbed in July 10 and conducted the growing seedling in the same date. Therefore, the seedling period of proper seedbed for high yield bumper crop of Alisma plantago for exporting to Japan is June 30 and the number of days for seedling is 30 days.

According to the research of the cultivation result on the spot farmers for 5 years in order to investigate its cultivation conditions and problems of Lycium chinense Mill, the development of the variety with early mature, pest tolerance, and high yielding is urgent and it is call for the development of rooted cutting cultivation by testing of bed soil, growth regulator and cutting times. The development of cultivation method with planting year, planting density, supplementary period and amounts of supplementary of Lycium chinense Mill planted in growing field are required and for the disease and the effective control of disease and insect pest resistance is needed by auxotrophic fertilizing and organic agricultural method, met by agricultural chemicals.

느타리 버섯의 다양한 품종과 재배형태가 급변히 요구되는 시기에 충남농업기술원 버섯연구팀의 5년 (1996～2,000)에 걸쳐 국,내외 수집 20 균주를 공시하여 개발 육성한 청풍과 명월 신품종 느타리버섯을 현재 재배되고 있는 기존 느타리품종과 동일여부를 위해 PCR-RAPD분석과 배양적, 재배적 특성을 인공재배 시험한 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1. 청풍, 명월느타리버섯 균사배 양 온도는 청 풍은 20～$25^{\circ}C$,명 월은 25～3$0^{\circ}C$, 이고 배지는 PDA배지가 양호하고 균사생육은 청풍, 명월 모두 비슷하였으며 배지 pH는 6.5～7.5 였다. 2. 버섯재배가능은 청풍은, 5～26$^{\circ}C$ 명 월은, 7～28$^{\circ}C$로 온도범위가 넓어 재배가 용이하나 적정 생육온도는 청풍, 명월 공히 15～19$^{\circ}C$가 양호 하였다 3. 청풍과 명월의 배양온도 23$^{\circ}C$에서 균사배양기간 23～24일 (850cc/pp),폐면 균상 재배에서 균배양 기간은 청풍, 명월 공히 11～12일, 초발이 소요일수는 2～3일 소요 되었다. 4.초발이시 청풍과 명월 갓 색택은 진청색이고, 생육후기 청풍은 회갈색, 명월은 진회색으로 조직이 치밀하고 저장성이 양호하여 경제성이 기대된다. 5. 다발수는 춘추2호 (13개/다발) 대 비 청 풍11개, 명월12개로 약간 적었으나 개체중은 춘추2호(14g/개) 대비 청풍 16g/개, 명월 14g/개로 비슷한 경향 이었다. 6. 수량성은 균상 폐면재배시 춘추2호 (40kg/3.3$m^2$)대비 청풍 느타리버섯은 (46kg/3.3$m^2$) 15%증수되고, 명월느타리버섯은(41kg/3.3$m^2$)로 3% 증수되었으며 병재배 겸용도 가능하였다. 7.
