The main problem of the forage-based livestock farming in Germany at the moment is the high yielding cow requiring high energy concentration in feed which can be obtained lot easier with corn and grain than with grass. Therefore milk production tends out of the grassland region and into the forage crop region. Nutrient surplus due to concentrates in milk production in future probably will be limited by the government. The problem can only be solved by using best swards and optimal silage techniques as well as optimisation of manure utilization. Most important steps of sustainable forage production are care of grassland as well as regular resowing, especially of silage meadows. About 40% of Hessian grassland is managed in agri-environmental problems to keep it in use and to protect the natural resources. Selective measures are realized, to solve special problmes of nature and landscape conservation.

This study was conducted to ameliorate the productive performance of Hanwoo cow using hill pasture grazing system. Twenty seven animals aged 9 were designed to divide with 3 groups which were Control (restricted concentrate and hay for 5 months), T1 (restricted concentrate and pasture grazing ad libitum for 5 months) and T2 (restricted concentrate, 30 g/head of mineral nutrients and pasture grazing ad libitum for 5 months). Average daily gains increased higher in the order of T2, Control and T1. The conception rate of Control, T1 and T2 after artificial insemination during post-grazing period were 88.9%, 100%, 100%, respectively. In conclusion, the results indicated that hill pasture grazing system might enhance not only the productive performance of Hanwoo cow but also profit for conventional feeding system.

We surveyed the distribution of exotic weeds in Korean paddy fields, uplands, orchards and pastures from 12,568 sites during 3 years, 2013, 2014 and 2015. As a result, 166 species in 28 families were identified and 7, 130, 126, and 80 species were surveyed from paddy fields, uplands, orchards, and pastures, respectively. Among the 166 species, 128 species were annual weed and 38 species were perennial weed. Especially, winter annual exotic weeds were 63 species (37.8%). 46, 16, and 104 exotic weeds were classified to their introduction period of $1^{st}$ (1876-1921), $2^{nd}$ (1922-1963), and $3^{rd}$ (1964-now) period, respectively. The exotic weeds introduced in $2^{nd}$ and $3^{rd}$ period, included 12 Invasive Alien Species. The weeds from $1^{st}$ period, however, could be grouped into native weeds as the 'naturalized weed' and managed the same as the native weeds. Especially, some exotic weeds such as common groundsel were widely distributed in Korean crop lands, and they will become more problematic in near future. Therefore, systemic research from the biology to management should be conducted and the results from the studies should be applied practically.

This study was carried out to determine the effect of seeding dates of Italian ryegrass interseeded into bermudagrass sod on the forage productivity and botanical composition of Italian ryegrass and bermudagrass. Experimental plot was located at 200 m altitude within Subtropical Animal Experiment Station, National Institute of Animal Science in Jeju from 2009 to 2010. Seeding date treatments of Italian ryegrass into bermudagrass sod were arranged in a randomized complete block design replicated three times. Italian ryegrass was drilled in row 20 cm apart after clipping the bermudagrass at a cutting height of 2~3 cm. Seeding time was on 15 September, 30 September and 15 October. The dry matter yield of Italian ryegrass was higher in 15 September seeding treatment, the dry matter yields of 30 September and 15 October seeding treatment were not different. The Italian ryegrass interseeded into bermudagrass sod didn't affect the dry matter yield in the summer harvests of bermudagrass, and the dry matter yield of bermudagrass showed the highest in August. In botanical composition, Italian ryegrass showed to reduced growth in early seedling stage after seeding by competition with bermudagrass, but Italian ryegrass was dominant to June increasing of temperature in spring next year and bermudagrass after Italian ryegrass harvests was dominant during summer season.

Karl Foerster had the most significant influence on the establishment of the German garden culture. From the viewpoint of planting design, in particular, he greatly contributed to the selection of new materials and the distribution of gardens. Therefore it is worth re-exploring his garden in that he triggered the use of natural planting that is widely used these days and already used ornamental grasses in his garden designs. This study aimed to review Foerster's garden to understand his planting design methods and their historical significance. The results suggest: Firstly, in spatial structure he designed sunken gardens influenced by the climate and triggered the use of natural planting by applying naturally open meadow, ferns and grasses. Secondly, in terms of the use of materials, he pointed out the necessity to use perennial plants. He bred perennial plants that the general public could easily grow and that were resistant against cold and created show gardens to demonstrate the characteristics of the plants and possible combination methods to the public. Thirdly, in terms of the aesthetical principles of his planting design, he focuses on colors and seasons and was interested in blue, yellow and white colors. In doing so, he developed new varieties such as Delphinium, Rudbeckia and Phlox. He emphasized the necessity of seven seasons, which served as the ancestor of contemporary winter gardens.

This study was conducted to investigate and compare species composition, stand structure, and growth pattern for two different sites in which silvopastoral system has been taking place. One site was the pasture area where a number of trees were removed and grasses were planted for cattle grazing, and the other site was the deciduous forest that has been established by ecological succession. The results were as follows: 1. Nine tree species were present equally in the pasture area and the deciduous forest. Of these species, seven tree species were growing in common for two sites. However, the species composition, including density and frequency, was varied by sites. 2. The number of stems per hectare in the pasture area was 71, and that in the deciduous forest was 1,433, having shown the big difference. It is estimated that, considering the growth rate, better grown trees were remained at the time of harvesting in 1996. 3. The growth of diameter, height, and basal area in the pasture area was superior to that in the nearby deciduous forest. In spite of higher values of diameter and height, the timber volume of pasture area per unit area was less than 15% of that in the deciduous forest. 4. Providing sufficient growing space, the pasture area supported higher values of diameter and height. The wider growing space also had influence on the expansion of crown of trees by the result of deliquescent growth pattern. From this point of view, more research would be needed to establish appropriate number of trees for silvopastoral system.

This study evaluated the effect 3 types of conditioning (Untreated, Impeller, Roller) and the number of times for tedding (rake-teder) performed in one day on the drying rate of tall fescure hay. The experiment was performed at The forage site of Cheonan-si seongwhan-eup National Institute of Animal Sciencee. It took 3 days to make tall fescue hay. The Impeller and Roller conditioning types shortened the haymaking period by 1 day compared to untreated hay. Impeller and roller samples had less than 20% of water content by the $23^{rd}-day$ at 13 o'clock. Tedding frequency failed to affect haymaking. There was no correlation between the three types of conditioning or tedding frequency and acid digestible fiber (ADF), neutral detergent fiber (NDF), total digestible nutrients (TDF), crude protein (CP), or relative feed value (RFV) in tall fescue hay. CP was 12.5~12.9% for the three types of conditioner with 1 or 2 times of tedding a day, Threrfore, conditioner types and gedding frequency had no significant effect on CP.

This study was conducted to evaluate the degree of acid tolerance of indigenous Rhizobium in natural soils, and to select the superior Rhizobia for legume forage on hilly land. 153 Rhizobial strains isolated from two host genera, Medicago and Trifolium in the pastures of Yeongnam area were screened on acidic agar plates. The results obtained are summarized as follows: 1. The degrees of acid tolerance of R. meliloti and R. trifolii were ranged from 4.3 to pH 5.5 and from 4.0 to pH 5.5 respectively. 2. Among acid tolerant Rhizobia isolates, two strains of R. meliloti at pH 4.3 and three strains of R. trifolii at pH 4.0 were shown to have the activities of nodulation and nitrogenase. 3. R. trifolii strains were shown to survive about 80 to 99% at the pH range 4.8 to 5.0, while R. meliloti were about 35 to 47% at that pH range. Therefore, more acid tolerant R. meliloti should be developed for legume forage in Korean hilly land.

We conducted a comparison experiment of our wide-area spraying high speed fan with a fan which was developed by Japan MARUYAMA Inc. have been much recognized for it's history and skills in a field of spraying machine. In result, MARUYAMA Inc. fan sprayed up to 120 m and, on the other hand, wide-area spraying high speed fan of our own making was able to spray up to more than 160 m. Wide-area spraying machine have been supplied to domestic demands by importing from Japan, but it is determined to be possible that home products will occupy market for it's ability, price and A/S environment in future. The main research results are below. Some plastic cups which are in the open market are used for our experiment. After distributing 90 cups in a range of 10m vertically with localizing 5 cups horizontally and 18 cups vertically, spraying machine was moved and finally we make distribution charts by estimating the sprayed amounts on each cup. Vertical distance was set up to 5m and we calculated average values by using sprayed amount and data of 4 observers. In result our fan showed much sprayed amounts than MARUYAMA Inc. all over the field except situations of vehicle departing and stopping.

외래잡초인 애기수영(Rumex acetosella)는 생태계 교란종으로 생물다양성을 감소시키고, 우리나라 목초지에 우점하고 있어 큰 문제를 야기한다. 애기수영의 경우, 살초효과 및 제초활성물질인 chrysophanic acid와 catechd이 밝혀져 있지만, 톨페스큐(Festuca arundinacea)에 대한 살초 효과 연구는 미비하다. 이에 본 연구는 톨페스큐 종자에 대해 애기수영 MeOH 추출물을 처리한 Seed bioassay를 진행해 IC₅₀ 값을 구하고, 톨페스큐에 애기수영 MeOH 추출물을 경엽처리를 진행한 후 생육조사를 진행했다. Seed bioassay의 경우, petri dish 위에 톨페스큐 종자 20개가 치상하고, 애기수영 지상부 추출물과 지하부 추출물을 각각 20,000 mg L^-1, 10,000 mg L^-1, 5,000 mg L^-1, 2,500 mg L^-1 농도로 serial dilution 하여 1mL씩 분주한 뒤, 일주일 뒤에 발아한 종자에 대해 생체중을 조사하고 Prizm 프로그램을 이용해 IC₅₀을 구하였다. 경엽처리의 경우, 톨페스큐 종자 파종4주 뒤에 IC₅₀값이 더 낮았던 지상부 추출물을 100,000 mg L^-1, 50,000 mg L^-1, 25,000 mg L^-1, 12,500 mg L^-1, 6,250 mg L^-1 농도로 serial dilution 한 뒤 5mL씩 일주일 간격으로 3회 경엽처리를 진행하였고, 마지막 처리 일주일 뒤 초장, 근장, 생체중, 건물중을 조사하였다. Seed bioassay 결과, 애기수영 지하부 추출물에 대한 톨페스큐의 IC₅₀값은 3274가 나왔고, 애기수영 지상부 추출물에 대한 톨페스큐의 IC₅₀값은 2728가 나왔다. Seed bioassay 결과를 바탕으로 효과적 이 었던 지상부 추출물을 이용해 톨페스큐 경엽처리를 진행하였다. 애기수영 지상부 추출물 경엽처리 결과, 톨페스큐 초장과 생체중이 추출물 처리량이 높아짐에 따라 낮아졌으며, 100,000 mg L^-1 처리구는 Control과 비교해 유의적으로 감소하였고, 처리량이 높아짐에 따라 근장이 감소했지만, 유의적인 차이는 없었다. 그리고 건물중은 100,000 mg L^-1 처리구가 Control, 12,500 mg L^-1, 6,250 mg L^-1 처리구와 비교해 유의적으로 낮았다.
