Grape is one of the important fruit crops around the world, and exposed to disease and pests, and internal or environmental stresses in the vineyards. Breeding and cultivation of new varieties of high quality-grapes resistant to diseases and pests and tolerant to stresses are the most important steps in the grape production. However, conventional breeding has laborious and time-consuming procedures in maintaining and selecting seedlings in the fields. Development of molecular breeding technology through understanding of molecular mechanism of useful traits can be used as an alternative strategy to improve the efficiency of grape breeding program by cross hybridization in grape development programs. The completion of the grape genome sequencing project provided the way to discover the novel genes and to analyze their functions. Comparative genomics, transcriptomic analysis, and the genome-wide identification and analysis of useful genes as well as development of molecular marker for valuable traits could provide novel insights into fruit quality and the responses to diseases and stresses, and can be used as important information in molecular breeding programs for grape development.

Since 2015, the government has been making efforts to distribute Korean smart farms. However, the supply is limited to large-scale facility vegetable farms due to the limitations of technology and current cultivation research data. In addition, the efficiency and reliability compared to the introduction cost are low due to the simple application of IT technology that does not consider the crop growth and cultivation environment. Therefore, in this paper, data analysis services was performed based on public and external data. To this end, a data-based target smart farm system was designed that is suitable for the situation of farms growing in facilities. To this end, a farm risk information notification service was developed. In addition, light environment maps were provided for proper fertilization. Finally, a disease prediction model for each cultivation crop was designed using temperature and humidity information of facility farms. Through this, it was possible to implement a smart farm data service by linking and utilizing existing smart farm sensor data. In addition, economic efficiency and data reliability can be secured for data utilization.

This study surveyed the selling, buying, usage, selection and spraying frequency of pesticides on apple orchards in Geochang, Gyeongsangnam-do province from 2012 to 2013 and found that the fungicides, insecticides and acaricides were sprayed $13.9{\pm}3.5$, $12.6{\pm}3.2$, and $2.6{\pm}1.3$ times per year, respectively. Fungicides were applied mainly to control for Diplocarpon mali, Colletotrichum gloeosporoides and Alternaria mali, whereas insecticides were sprayed mostly to control Grapholita molesta, Carposina sasakii insects. Dealers sold pesticides without monitoring of the pests in the apple orchards, and also sometimes sold pesticides which are non-registered for apple. Most of the farmers were highly relied on dealers' recommendations to choosing the brand product. Relating on Integrated Pest Management (IPM) on apple orchards in Geochang, residual active ingredient of frequently sprayed fungicides, insecticides, and acaricides were analyzed. Most applications of the fungicides, insecticides and acaricides were well corresponded with FAO's recommendations. For production of safe food and use of pesticides, it is requested to develope control calender and consideration of training program for farmers. The regional characteristics and environmental situation of the farm also should be considered.

In accordance with the recent trend of environmentally friendly agricultural policy, product registration of agricultural chitosan among the organic materials has been displayed in various forms such as soil improving agent, crop growth, and pest control. Chitin production industry is expected to bring competitiveness by producing low-quality and low-cost chitin for agriculture, rather than high-quality and high-cost for food, medical products. Since there are various soil microorganisms that can decompose chitin and chitosan in farm soil where crops are produced, it can be applied usefully to agricultural sites suitably for crop growth and pest control using chitin and chitosan as substrates. The purpose of this study is to compare and analyze the registration status of organic materials companies using chitin and chitosan raw materials in the organic materials information system of the NAQS, and to provide an opportunity to further expand the agricultural use of domestic chitin and chitosan.

The persons in charge of management request diagnosis and prescription to tree hospitals in order to get consultation about the problems like blight that occur in landscape tree management. This study aims to analyze what the main problems and questions raised by landscape gardeners are and those concerned in landscape tree management. This is done by investigating landscape tree-related questions and answers uploaded on the online consultation boards of the plant diagnostic centers approved in Korea including the Seoul National University Plant Clinic, the Chungbuk National University Plant Hospital, and the Kangwon Diagnostic Center. As a result, those concerned in landscape occupied the most as 81.4% among the questioners. However, only 11.5% did explain the plant management history or surrounding environment, which is essential for landscape tree diagnosis when asking questions. This shows that those concerned in landscape lack basic knowledge or interest about plant diagnosis. Among 263 questions about landscape trees, questions about physiological damage included 94 cases that were the most taking up 35.8%. Moreover, the next were damage by insects and damage by disease in order. It is thought that due to the characteristics of physiological problems that occur by various sorts of stress and with no signs, they tend to request diagnosis or prescription the most. The most frequent reasons for physiological damage are water stress and temperature stress. About damage by disease, there exist many types of diseases, and there are many complex damages accompanied by physiological causes. About damage by insects, the most common include damage by moths. In consideration of this result, universities or technician training centers should provide education for landscape tree management so that landscape technicians and students can acquire essential knowledge and information about landscape tree management and increase their interest in it. In particular, it is necessary to provide profound learning opportunities for plant physiology, and the technicians should make efforts themselves. In addition, it is needed to build organizations to which they can ask technical questions about landscape planting and management in order to understand landscape industry in general and the actual status of landscape planting technique and the actual field. Moreover, to elevate systemicity and expertise in the area of landscape tree management not yet equipped with the foundation, it is needed to cultivate the technicians intensively and conduct research by those concerned both in academic and industrial circles.

Volatile organic solvents are used to extract the bioactive materials from raw materials for environmentally-friendly farming materials (EFFM), but the solvent should not remain in EFFM for the safety reasons. Thus qualitative and quantitative analysis method for the solvents using Headspace-GC were evaluated. Water content depleted the detection ratio of hydrophilic solvents and disturbing the hydrophilic interaction with solvents by DMSO might be helped to increase the detection ratio (up to 715%). Surfactant concentration affected to the detection ratio (68.5-179.1%) while surfactant type was not deeply involved the solvent detection. On the other hand, matrix-matched calibration method was accepted the minimum requirements for the quantitative analysis of the solvents in EFFM.

During visiting North Korea from 2001 to 2005, I have had a few chances to observe and discuss several North Korean scientists for the seed production program and also, the occurrence of potato pests. Healthy seed production, especially in the early generations, e.g. the production of virus-free starting materials as well as in vitro pre-basic seeds (G0) by hydroponics and basic seeds under netted houses according to her new national seed potato program of Academy of Agricultural Science, Pyongyang, North Korea, has been done well so far. Some major pests occurred, however, in the early generations such as pre-basic seed (G0) in greenhouse, basic seed (G1) in screenhouse, foundation seed-I (G2) and even ware potatoes in the fields are Phytopitthora infestans, Spongospora subterrunea, Ralstonia solanacearum, Pythium spp. and some viruses such as Potato virus X, Potato virus Y, Potato leafroll virus, and also larger potato ladybeetle, greenhouse whitefly and potato tuber moth. Therefore, the success of healthy seed production in North Korea will be thoroughly depended on the pest control and the multiplication of virus-free seed stocks in the isolated areas, especially where no infected potatoes are grown.

산업화에 따른 온실가스 배출량 증가는 심각한 기후변화의 원인으로 작용하여 우리나라를 포함한 전세계는 이에 대응하고자 노력하고 있다. 지구온난화 및 엘리뇨 현상 등으로 인하여 가뭄, 홍수, 한파, 혹서 등의 재해와 기상이변이 속출하고, 최근 들어서는 우리나라의 경우 매년 가뭄이 발생하고 있어 이에 대한 대책이 시급한 실정이다. IPCC 제5차 평가보고서에 의하면 최근 10년간 전세계 온실가스 배출량은 이전보다 급격이 증가하였고, 우리나라 온실가스 총배출량도 1990년대에 비해 약 100% 이상 증가하는 것으로 보고되었다. 또한, 농촌지역에서의 주요 기후변화 영향은 농업용수의 가용성과 적정 공급, 식량 안보, 농업 소득 등에 영향을 미치게 되며 농업이나 물, 산림, 생물 다양성 등을 위한 추가적인 적응 대책을 농촌지역의 발전을 위한 의사결정 차원의 정책으로 실행할 필요가 있다고 제언하고 있다. 미국, 영국, 일본 등 주요 선진국에서는 기후변화 관련 법적, 제도적 근거를 마련하여 자국의 기후변화 적응 프로그램을 이미 시행하고 있으며, 우리나라도 기후변화에 대비하기 위하여 체계적인 현실적인 적응 전략 도출을 위한 필요기술을 개발함으로서 농업용수 뿐만 아니라 수자원 관리 기술 및 시설물의 적응 역량을 강화하는 것이 절실한 실정이다. 농업분야에 있어서는 "농업 농촌 및 식품산업 기본법"의 제47조의2, 시행령 제19조의2 제1항, 시행규칙 제5조에 의하여 "기후변화가 농업에 미치는 영향과 기후변화에 따른 취약성 조사 평가"에 관한 기준을 제정하였다. 이러한 법적 근거를 바탕으로 농촌진흥청에서는 작물, 병해충, 가축 등을 대상으로 실태조사를 실시하고 있으며, 기후변화 영향 및 취약성 평가 결과보고서를 5년마다 제출하도록 고시하였다. 농업생산기반시설물 역시 기후변화에 따른 취약성을 평가하고 이를 위한 실태조사를 실시하도록 법적 근거가 마련되었는 바, 본 연구에서는 농업용 저수지의 재해 취약성 평가지표를 개발하고, 기후변화 시나리오에 의한 미래 농업용수 수문량을 산정하여 농업용 저수지의 재해 취약성 변화를 분석하고자 한다.
