Various formulations of oxyfluorfen were tested to evaluate effect of weed control efficacy and rice injury as affected by different degrees of water leakages. Rice injury was increased with increased water leakages. The formulations of Elvan, Coal slag and Chitosan gave slight injury to rice under all conditions included in terms of visual ratings, plant height and fresh weight production. However, weed control of most formulations was decreased and increased with increased water leakages for annual weeds and perennial weeds, respectively, Annual weeds were controlled greater than 90~ by all treatments, but perennial weed control was relatively low. Scirpus juncoides was the most tolerant annual weed to Oxyfluorfen. Elvan formulation showed somewhat decreased control of barnyardgrass with increased water leakages. The promising formulations of Oxyfluorfen were Chitosan, Coal slag, Bentonite B and Elvan (if the first releasing rate increased), which injured rice slightly and controlled annual weeds excellently regardless of degrees of water leakages.

Bacterial fruit blotch (BFB) is one of most important diseases in Cucurbitaceae due to infection of Acidovorax citrulli, causing huge economic losses damage worldwide. This seedborn disease spread rapidly at period of high temperature and humidity. The eco-friendly farming is getting popular. So far there was no effective agent to control BFB in eco-friendly farming. Therefore, effect of the material based on chinese nut-gall extract with antibacterial activity against BFB to was tested against A. citrulli. Different hosts showed various symptoms of BFB. Liquid formulation among exhibited most effective anti-bacterial activity on A. citrulli. Pot experiment in greenhouse showed the potential as an control agent of BFB in cucurbits. The treatment of material based on chinese nut-gall extract showed the positive effect on survival of the watermelon seedling and on the length of the cucumber seedling treated with A. citrulli. We cautiously conclude that the material based on chinese nut-gall extract used in this study may be good agents against major diseases of cucurbits in the future even though it is require to be tested with more study on field test.

Oriental melon vinegar was prepared by two stage fermentations of alcohol and acetic acid. In the alcohol fermentation using oriental melon residual products, alcohol content showed 7.43% in 17$^{\circ}$ brix of initial sugar concentration and 80 h of fermentation time. In the acetic acid fermentation using oriental melon alcohol, acidity showed 5.25% in 250rpm of agitation rate and 200 h of fermentation time. The cultivation esults of oriental melons using its vinegar are as follows. Quantity and quality of samples treated with 500, 1,000 and 2,000 times of oriental melon vinegar were higher than that of control : weight, quality, sugar content and goods production rate were higher to degree of 33∼42 g/piece, 370 ∼460kg/10a, 0.6∼.9$^{\circ}$ Brix, 2∼5%, respectively. Coods production yield of samples treated with 500, 1,000 and 2,000 times of oriental melon vinegar was higher (400∼610 kg/10a) than that of control. The results of control of powdery mildew on oriental melons using oriental melon vinegar as the diluted solution with 500 and 1000 times were identical for control value that used by agrochemical. Powdery mildew were exterminated by 2nd treatment of the diluted solution. In case of aphids, the diluted solution with 500, 1,000 and 2,000 times of oriental melon vinegar exterminated thoroughly by 2nd treatment.

Postharvest insect pest control is necessary for agricultural industry including domestic consumer markets and exporting products to meet quarantine issue. Especially, the organic or environmentally friendly agricultural products do not fit to the traditional chemical postharvest treatments mostly using methyl bromide. As an alternative, a physical treatment called CATTS (controlled atmosphere and temperature treatment) has been developed to control various insect and mite pests on apple and several stone fruits. This study was designed to determine the CATTS conditions to control the oriental fruit moth, Grapholita molesta, which is restricted in exporting the infested apples. To apply CATTS on this insect pest, the most heat-tolerant stage was determined. Among the immature stages locating on the fruits, the fifth instar larvae were the most tolerant to $44^{\circ}C$ for 20 min. The ramping rate (the time to increase chamber temperature from $25^{\circ}C$ to $46^{\circ}C$) was positively correlated with the CATTS efficiency under 15% $CO_2$ and 1% $O_2$. After the ramping step, the duration of CATTS was positively correlated with CATTS efficiency. In addition, the CATTS efficiency was highly dependent on the fruit internal temperature at $44^{\circ}C$. From all these parameters, we developed a standard protocol yielding 100% control efficiency of CATTS against apples infested by 4,378 larvae including 2,104 fifth instar individuals.

Dissolution rate of minerals may differ from climates configuration, but weathering rate of feldspars is generally proved to be relatively higher The result of geochemical reaction modeling indicates the acid water of pH 4.5 excluding any other variables, was 2.3 times higher than that in ordinary rain of pH 5.7. This result proved that pH is very important factor in preservation of granite cultural properties. To prevent the weathering of stone cultural properties, weathering characteristics of stones should be studied first and constitution of dry environments, using water repellent or oil coating, isolating water which cause chemical weathering reaction like hydration and oxidization should be considered. Considering the long-term reactions between granite and rain, selection of materials, which can bring neutralization and non-oxidization conditions, are very important in using cleaning agents and biological controls.

Zr합금의 수소화 반응속도에 미치는 합금원소의 영향을 평가하기 위하여 Zr과 Zr-0.8Sn-XNb계열(X=0.2, 0.4, 0.8, 1.0) 및 Zr-0.4Nb-YSn계열(Y=0.5, 0.8, 1.5, 2.0)의 3원계 합금으로 electro-microbalance가 장착된 TGA (thermo-gravimetric apparatus)장치를 이용하여 40$0^{\circ}C$에서 1기압 수소와의 반응에 따른 무게증가를 in-situ로 측정하였다 Sn 첨가량이 증가함에 따라 1.5% 까지는 수소반응에 따른 무게증가율이 낮게 나타났으나 Sn을 2.0% 함유한 Zr-0.4Nb-2.0Sn합금의 경우 가장 높게 나타났다. 이는 Sn의 함량이 증가할수록 수소침투에 대한 저항성이 증가함을 의미하지만 Sn이 고용도 이상 함유되면 Sn을 함유한 다량의 석출물이 대량수소침투의 site로 작용하여 수소침투가 가속화된 것으로 평가된다. Nb의 경우 첨가량을 증가시킬수록 무게증가는 크게 나타났는데 이는 Nb이 수소흡수성이 크기 때문이며 Zr-0.8Sn-0.2Nb 및 Zr-0.8Sn-0.4Nb 합금보다 Zr-0.8Sn-0.8Nb 및 Zr-0.8Sn-1.0Nb 합금의 경우 TEM을 이용한 금속간 석출물(intermetallic precipitates) 분석에서 이러한 석출물들의 평균크기 및 개수가 크게 평가되었고, 또한 Zr-0.8Sn-0.2Nb, Zr-0.8Sn-0.4Nb 합금에서는 관찰이 되지 않는 $\beta$-Zr 석출물이 관찰되었다 이러한 사실로부터 Nb의 큰 수소흡수성에 부가적으로 이러한 석출물들이 수소침투를 가속화 하는 데에 기여하는 것으로 여겨진다.

임업에서 육림(育林)은 기르고자 하는 수종과 경쟁하는 잡초목과의 싸움이라고 할 수 있다. 대개 가치있는 수종은 초기생장이 느리고, 제거 대상이 되는 잡초나 관목및 활엽수의 맹아등은 초기 생장속도가 아주 빠르고 생존력이 강하기 때문에 방치하는 경우 조림목은 피압되어 고사하게 된다. 현재 여러가지 사회적인 여건에 의하여 인력작업이 어려운 시점에서 제초제의 활용은 이러한 문제를 해결할 수 있는 가장 효과적인 방법이라고 할 수 있다. 그러나 제초제의 사용은 세심한 주의가 필요하다. 제초제의 잘못 사용은 효율적인 작업성과를 얻지 못할 뿐만 아니라 오히려 기르고자 하는 나무를 손상할 수 있으며 대면적에 대한 과다한 사용은 산지의 황폐나 또는 자연생태계에 큰 영향을 줄수도 있다. 이러한 점에서 앞으로 제초제의 산지 적용에 대한 폭넓은 연구와 검토가 이루어져야 하겠다. 또한 여기서 소개하는 몇가지 제초제에 대하여도 사용할 때는 약제의 특성에 대한 충분한 지식을 가지고 대상지의 식생이나 입지조건에 대한 면밀한 조사가 이루어진 후에 사용하여야 할 것이다.

Hydrogen peroxide, which is used in various crops as an oxidizer to improve high temperature adaptation, was evaluated on the effects on productivity and disease incidence in paprika (Capsicum annuum L.) by periodic leaf spray at summer. Hydrogen peroxide treatment not only increased the leaf thickness and SPAD (chlorophyll content) but also the fruit set numbers per plant by 2. Hydrogen peroxide content increase in leaf resulted in increase of catalase and peroxidase activities, and the powdery mildew disease (Leveillula taurica) was also suppressed by the treatment. Transpiration was improved by the reduced leaf stomata resistance in the hydrogen peroxide treatment. Therefore, hydrogen peroxide leaf spray is recommended for improvement of summer productivity in paprika.

Bacterial canker caused by Clavibacter michiganensis is considered to be one of the most serious diseases, leading to economic damage to tomato worldwide. Diagnosis of the bacterial canker on tomato is known to be difficult because the causal pathogen is slow-growing on artificial media as well as causes latent infection in tomato. In this study, as a less time-consuming method, a specific primer set was newly designed for rapid detection of C. michiganensis. The method presented here is so simple, easy, and fast that it can be useful and practical in direct detection of the bacterial canker pathogen from tomato plants.
