The effectiveness of four plant oils (garlic, ginger, cinnamon and lemongrass) against a range of plant pathogenic organisms was tested in vitro. Of the four oils, two oils (garlic and cinnamon) showed relatively good antimicrobial activities. Activity of garlic oil was shown against the plant pathogenic bacteria Agrobacterium tumefaciens, Ewinia carotovora, Ralstonia solanacearum, Xanthomonas campestris, and the fungi Phytophthora infestans, Fusarium oxysporum, Collectotricum sp., whereas Acidovorax avenae and Pythium sp. showed the resistance towards garlic oil. Results from the planta bioassays under greenhouse conditions indicated that garlic oil significantly reduced the cucumber powdery mildew (Sphaerotheca fusca) and tomato powdery mildew (Erysiphe cichoracearum) showing control value 70.0-74.6% and 71.2%, respectively.

Four promising biocontrol agents against Phytophthora capsici were selected from 507 bacterial isolates collected from rhizosphere soils and roots of pepper plants. In vitro experiment, these four biocontrol agents inhibited mycelial growth, germination of cystospores, and formation of zoosporangia and zoospores of Phytophthora capsici. In the pot experiment, the four biocontrol agents showed control efficiency higher than 70%. In greenhouse experiment, the isolates G28-6 gave the control value of 79.4%. These four biocontrol agents successfully colonized in the population density beyond 105 cfu/g on roots of pepper in vitro. The isolates G28-6 was identified as Pseudomonas aurantiaca, based on its cultural, morphological, and biochemical characterization and 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis.

A severe pink mold rot on matured asian pear (Pyrus serotina Rehder) fruit occurred in the organic farmers' orchard in Jinju, Korea in October, 2012. Decay of pear fruit appeared as a softened water-soaked symptom that was easily punctured by pressure. Later pink mycelium appeared on the surface of pear fruit and produced a mass of powdery pink conidia spores. Optimum temperature for mycelial growth of T. roseum was $25^{\circ}C$. Conidia showed hyaline, smooth, 2-celled, thick-walled with truncate bases, ellipsoidal to pyriform, and characteristically held together zig-zag chains and $10{\sim}22(34){\times}6{\sim}10(12){\mu}m$ in size. Conidiophore was erect, colorless, unbranched type, and 4-5 ${\mu}m$ width. On the basis of mycological characteristics, pathogenicity test, and molecular identification with the ITS region, the causal fungus was identified as Trichothecium roseum (Pers.) Link ex Gray.

In order to find out the degree of mercury contamination of common foodstuffs a series of determination was carried out by a highly sensitive activation analysis and the following results were obtained. 1. Polished rice contained 0.050 ppm of mercury whereas rice bran had 0.095 ppm mercury which was found in other grain in lesser degree. 2. Vegetables and fruits also contained $0.035{\sim}0.190\;ppm$ of mercury with relatively small variations from sample except persimmon which had a considerably higher amount of mercury. 3. Soybean sprout contained an unexpectantly high amount of mercury. 4. Of the animal products chicken and egg contained more mercury than the meat.

Stem rot of perilla (Perilla frutescens var. japonica Hara) occurred sporadically in the exhibition field at Gyeongsangnam-do Agricultural Research and Extension Services in Korea. The infected stems are water-soaked, rotted, wilted and finally leads to the death of the whole plants. The sclerotia, 1-3 mm, white to brown, spherical, were formed on lesions and the surface of soil line. The optimum temperature for mycelial growth and sclerotia formation was $30^{\circ}C$ on potato dextrose agar and the hyphal width was 4-9 ${\mu}m$. The typical clamp connections were observed in the hyphae of the fungus. On the basis of mycological characteristics and pathogenicity to host plants, this fungus was identified as Sclerotium rolfsii Saccardo. This is the first report of stem rot on perilla caused by S. rolfsii in Korea.

A destructive collar rot of Doonggulle (Polygonatum odoratum var. pluriflorum) occurred in an experimental farm at Hamyang Medicinal Plant Experiment Station, Kyonguam ARES in 1999. The disease also observed in farmer's fileds in Hamyang and the infection rate reached up to 12.3%. Upper parts of the infected plants were mostly blighted and white mycelial mats were formed on the lesions or soil lines near the stem. The fungus readily formed sclerotia on PDA and then shapes were globoid or irregular, and sized $0.9{\sim}6.8{\times}0.6{\sim}5.2\;mm$ (av. $2.7{\sim}2.3\;mm$). Although the fungus showed wide range of mycelial growth temperature, the optimum temperature was about $30^{\circ}C$. The typical sclerotium type and clamp connections of hyphae were found in the fungus grown in PDA. The causal fungus was identified as Sclerotium rolfsii on the basis of mycological characteristics and pathogenicity that on the host plants. This is the first report on the collar rot of Polygonatum odoratum caused by Sclerotium rolfsii in Korea.

Stem rot symptoms of Convallaria keiskei occurred sporadically in the herb exhibition field at Hamyang-gun Gyeongnam province in Korea. The typical symptom is water-soaking on the main stem, rotting, wilting, and blighting, which eventually leads to death of the plant. The sclerotia, which were white to brown in color, globoid in shape with size of 1~3 mm hyphal width of which was 4~9 ${\mu}m$, were formed over lesions and surface soil line. The optimum temperature for mycelial growth and sclerotia formation was $30^{\circ}C$ on PDA. The typical clamp connections were observed in the hyphae of the fungus grown on PDA. Mycological characteristics and pathogenicity to host plants indicated that the infected fungus was Sclerotium rolfsii Saccardo. This is the first report of stem rot on Convallaria keiskei caused by S. rolfsii in Korea.

쌀의 영양적 가치는 쌀의 전분은 뇌의 활동을 돕고 비만과 당뇨병을 예방하는데 효과적이다. 쌀은 비록 단백질 함량과 필수 아미노산 함량은 낮지만 그 질만큼은 모든 곡류중에서 가장 우수한 단백질 자원을 갖고 있어 콜레스테롤 저하와 혈압조절, 암예방 등에 효과가 있다. 이밖에도 쌀에는 엽산을 포함한 비타민 B군은 물론 비타민 E, 마그네슘 등이 풍부하다. 비타민 E 등은 강력한 항산화작용를 하기 때문에 노화 방지에 효과가 있다. 이와 같은 영양적 가치에도 불구하고 1990년대에 들어서면서 식생활의 서구화, 고급화 물결로 인해 국민 1인당 쌀 소비량은 감소추이를 나타내고 수입에 의존하는 밀가루 소비량은 지속적으로 증가하고 있다. 쌀 생산량의 95% 이상이 밥으로 소비되고 있고 그밖에 여러 가지 가공방법에 따라 주식이외의 가공식품이 개발, 이용되고 있으나 그 비율은 아직 미미한 실정이므로 쌀의 소비를 보다 적극적으로 촉진하기 위해서는 쌀을 하나의 가공 이용 원료로서 인식하는 발상의 전환이 요구된다. 이에 따라 쌀의 지속적인 수요창출과 간편성을 고려하여 밥 대신 간편하게 식사대용으로 많이 이용되고 있는 국수류에 이용하고자 하였다. 증숙면은 압출식 증숙면 제조시설만 있으면 연속 공정이 가능하고 생산된 면을 포장하면 곧바로 상품의 되며 소비자가 식용할 때 제품의 식감이 우수하다는 장점이 있다. 밀가루에는 글루텐이 12%정도 함유되어 있어 반죽이 만들어지고 이를 이용하여 제면이 가능하나 쌀만으로는 면을 만들기 어렵기 때문에 일반적으로 쌀가루에 밀가루를 혼합하여 건면을 제조한다. 증숙면식 쌀 국수를 만들기 위해서는 쌀가루와 밀가루의 혼합후 물성개량제의 첨가가 필요하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 식품첨가물로 사용되는 성분중에 글루텐, 곤약, 유화유지를 적절히 배합 사용하여 증숙식 쌀국수를 만들고, 유통후 소비자에 의해 식용될 때에 적절한 물성을 유지할 수 있도록 하여, 최적의 상품성을 지닌 쌀 국수를 제조하고자 하였다. 먼저 예비실험을 통해 쌀가루와 밀가루의 혼합비는 70:30이 가장 우수하였다. 여기에 물성개량제로 글루텐(l％,2％,3％), 곤약(0.5%,1%,2%), 유화유지(1%,2%,3%) 비율을 각각 달리하여 쌀가루에 첨가하여 증숙면식 쌀 국수를 제조한 후 관능적인 특성과 기계적 특성을 비교, 검토하였다. 글루텐은 외관은 좋지 않으나 텍스쳐 면에서 가장 좋게 평가되었고, 곤약은 관능적 특성과 기계적 특성에서 좋게 평가되었고, 유화유지는 텍스쳐 보다는 면의 광택효과와 노화방지에서 좋게 평가되었다.

The sclerotium rot of corn (Zea mays L.) occurred sporadically at the experimental field of Gyeongsangnam-do Agricultural Research and Extension Services in July 2011. The infected stems were water-soaked, wilted, and finally led to the death of the whole plants. White mycelial mats were spread over lesions, and then sclerotia were formed on stem and near soil line. The sclerotia were globoid in shape, white to brown in color and 1-3 mm in size. The hyphal width was $4-8{\mu}m$. The optimum temperature for mycelial growth and sclerotia formation on PDA was 30 on PDA. The typical clamp connections were observed in the hyphae of the fungus grown on PDA. On the basis of mycological characteristics and pathogenicity to host plants, this fungus was identified as Sclerotium rolfsii Saccardo. This is the first report of sclerotium rot on corn caused by S. rolfsii in Korea.

This experiments were carried out determine planting date for highest Yields and select an covering material for enhancement of environments in Cassia tora L.The highest Yields by regressions estimate produced 352 kg/10a at May 18. of coure, it is possible to plant at June and early-July in spite of slight decreas of Yields, therefore Cassia tora L. is benefit to establish cropping system with barley, wheat or other crops. The covering materials for highest yielding was Black-white nonporous PE(low density) and it out yielded about 53% than conventional cultivations. Cassia tora L. is possible to produce Without agricultural medicines because of little occurence of decrease except occuring of Damping off(Rhizoctonia solanikuhn) at early planting.
