The main objective of this research was to improve rooting of M.9 apple rootstock through layering time, shading, layering material and water content of the layering part. Among the treatments, rooting was improved by mother plant shading or an earlier covering (layering in shoot length 2 cm) of shoots. Rooting and root growth of sawdust, chaff or vermiculite treatments were significantly higher than those of the control (soil). In the study of layering material water content, -40 kPa treatment increased rooting ratio, number of roots and root growth compared to -60 kPa treatment and control. These results suggest that early-covering, layering with sawdust, chaff, or vermiculite, and keeping the water content in the layering part at -40 kPa could improve rooting and root growth in M.9 rootstock propagation.

In order to investigate the applicability and suitability of the coal ash (bottom ash) to landfill final cover, field pilot-scale lysimeter experiments were carried out. The mixture of loamy soil, bottom ash, and construction waste was placed as a cover material in lysimeter ($2m{\times}6m{\times}1.2m$) which were constructed with cement brick, and then volumetric water contents, pF value, and the quantity of runoff and seepage of treatment boxes filled with the mixture of loamy soil and the industrial by-products were monitored from July, 2007 to february, 2008. Among the cases tested, consequently, the case containing the mixture of bottom ash and loamy soil was most effective in plant growth and water retention ability.

매립지에서 배출되는 메탄가스는 이산화탄소에 이어 두 번째로 많이 배출되는 지구온난화 가스이지만 열을 흡수하는 능력에 있어서는 이산화탄소 보다 25에서 35배 정도 더 크기 때문에 지구 온난화 현상에 대한 메탄가스의 영향은 중요하다고 할 수 있다. 매립지로부터 배출되는 메탄가스는 호기성 상태의 매립지 복토층을 통과 할 때 산화될 수 있으므로 매립지 복토층은 메탄가스의 배출을 저감시키는 바이오필터의 역할을 할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 batch 실험을 통하여 매립지 복토층에서의 메탄산화속도에 대한 토양수분과 온도의 영향을 연구하였다. 최대 산화속도는 토양수분 15%(w/w), 배양온도 $35^{\circ}C$의 환경조건에서 $1.03{\mu}mol\;CH_4g^{-1}soil\;h^{-1}$으로 나타났다. 이러한 실험결과를 이용하여 토양수분과 온도를 함수로 하는 회귀모형을 개발하였다. 또한 전국에 4 군데 지역을 선발하여 각 지역의 토양수분과 온도 데이타를 수집하고 개발된 모형을 이용하여 각 지역에 위치하고 있는 매립장에서의 월 평균 메탄산화량을 예측하였다. 예측 결과 환경조건이 양호한 지역의 매립지 복토는 메탄의 배출량을 저감시킬 수 있는 효율적인 바이오필터의 효과를 가지지만 환경조건이 불리한 지역의 매립지 복토에서는 바이오필터의 효과가 크지 않는다고 할 수 있다.

This study is objected to estimate the variation of the coefficient of leachate according to designs in landfill cover systems. Design (a) is the unsanitary landfill cover system with 50 cm soil. But Design (b), (c) are sanitary cover systems which are composed of soil top layer, drainage layer, barrier liner(Design (b): Geomembrane(1.5 mm) and compacted clay liner(30 cm), Design (c) compacted clay liner(45 cm)), gas venting layer. Quantity of leachate estimates Rational Method generally and depend on the coefficient of leachate, on one of the factors in Rational Method largely. The coefficient of leachate is defined as the leachate production ratio result from incident precipitation. To estimate the variation of the coefficient of leachate, the authors use HELP(Hydrologic Evaluation of Landfill Performance) Simulation and Pilot Test. As a result of HELP Simulation, the coefficient of leachate is 0.36∼0.42 in Design (a) and 0.03∼0.15 in Design (b), (c) according to designs in landfill cover systems and quality of barrier liner placement. These numerical values are similar to 0.13 with the coefficient of leachate in Pilot Test.

This study measured the vitality of Pinus densiflora and Ginko biloba and analyzed the differences of vitality levels among trees based on artificial management. Research has shown that the mean value of cambial electrical resistance (CER) on Pinus densiflora was $14.9K{\Omega}$(between $8.5{\sim}37.5K{\Omega}$), and for Ginko biloba it was $13.5K{\Omega}$ (between 6.4 and $40.5K{\Omega}$). For the purpose of artificial management, over 50% of trees were covered up with soil and about 40% of trees were not protected by fence to enable growth spaces. It was seen that the CER of trees covered up with soil was significantly higher than that of trees which were not covered up with soil. These results indicate that it is necessary to remove the soil covering for effective management of monumental trees.

In Korea, it is required to install the final cover layer immediately after the end of use of the waste landfill, and to conduct aftercare for 30 years. However, the installation of the final cover layer minimizing the penetration of the rainfall will delay the decomposition of the buried organic wastes and reduce the amount of pollutants released into the leachate. Therefore, at the end of the aftercare period, pollutants might be discharged and cause the pollution of the surrounding environment. In this study, using lab-scale lysimeters, the amount of pollutants discharged into the leachate was observed. At the initial stage, same artificial rainfall was injected, and after 7 months later, different reduced artificial rainfall was injected for 8.4 months assuming as the final soil layer was installed. From the results, it was advantageous in terms of environmental management after the end of the aftercare period to install a temporary cover layer that permits the infiltration of rainfall to some extent rather than to install the final cover layer immediately after the end of use of the waste landfill.

In this study, the utilization of coal-ash and phosphogypsum was considered as the evapotranspiration final landfill cover(ET cover) material. Cover material considered was the mixture of the weathered granite soil, coal-ash and phosphogypsum and so we sequentially performed the leaching test, column test and field model test to investigate the environmental effects of mixtures of coal-ash and phosphogypsum. In the leaching test, all materials had lower heavy metal concentration than the regulated threshold values. The column test and the review of related regulations were carried out to determine the optimum mixing ratio(OMR) and OMR was soil(4):coal-ash(1): phosphogypsum(1) on the volume base, which was applied to field model test. Field model tests were continued from February to June, 2004 in the soil box that was constructed with cement block. It was verified that coal-ash and phospogypsum mixed with soil was safe environmentally and the mixture of both wastes could improve the water retention capacity of cover materials.

This experiment was carried out at National Crop Experiment Station in 1994 to obtain basic information of growth characters and yield of rice under various seeding methods in direct seeding on dry paddy. Hwaseongbyeo sown on April 27 by flat drill seeding, high ridged drill seeding and hill seeding under different seed conditions, soil convering after seeding and irrigation methods. Nitrogen applied 150kg /ha by 3 times split application at rate of 40:30:30％ (basal: 5th leaf stage:panicle initiation stage). Seedling stands were higher in flushed irrigation water after seeding than in irrigation at 3rd leaf stage, and it also was higher in high ridged drill seedings than in flat drill seedings. Days for seedling stand, heading date were shorten 6~10 days, 2~3 days by flushed irrigation water after seeding, respectively. Number of tiller was more in high ridged drill seedings than conventional seedling method(Flat drill seeding ＋ intact seed ＋ soil covering after seeding ＋ irrigation at 3rd leaf stage after seedling stand) at early growth stage, but the most tiller number was highest in developed seeding method(Flat drill seeding ＋ soaked seed ＋ non soil covering after seeding ＋ fulshed irrigation water after seeding) at heading stage among used seeding methods. Lodging index was slightly high in high ridged drill seeding and conventional seeding. Field lodging was degree 1 in high ridged drill seedings and developed seeding, Milled rice yield in developed seeding was increased 7％ compaired with conventional seeding(5.35t /ha).

This study was carried out to investigate the feasibility of reducing clean cover soil using a flooded column test in arsenic-contaminated farmland reclamation of abandoned coal mine area that shows generally low or about worrisome level (25 mg/kg) of Korea soil environment conservation act unlike abandoned metal mine. During the monitoring period of soil solution for 4 months, chemical properties (pH, EC, ORP, Fe, Mn, Ca, and As) in each layer (clean soil cover and contaminated/stabilized soil) showed different variation. This result revealed that soil solution in stabilized or contaminated soil rarely affected that in cover soil. Whether stabilized or not, arsenic concentrations in the rice roots grown in the soil covers with the thickness of 40 cm decreased by 98% in compared with the that grown in the control soil. In case of the soil covers with 20 cm thickness on stabilized soil, it decreased by 80% and this was 22 percentage point higher than when the soil of lower layer was not stabilized. Thus, reducing clean cover soil could be possible in contaminated farmland soil reclamation if appropriate stabilization of contaminated soil is carried.

The field trial was performed to evaluate the rice growth and yield in different direct seeding methods after Italian Ryegrass Harvest The required time for seed emergence was for 7 ~ 8days in the tested direct seeding methods and there was high in seedling establishment in order of wet hill-seeding with iron-coated seeds > water seeding with iron-coated seeds > wet hill-seeding with soil coverage with pregerminated seeds. The rice plant height was shorter in the tested direct seeding methods than that of machine transplanting until 45day after seeding but there was not significant difference in terms of statistical analysis at 63day after seeding. The growth of tiller number in the rice plant was high in water seeding with iron-coated seeds and wet hill-seeding with soil coverage and low in wet hill-seeding with iron-coated seeds compared to machine transplanting. The yield component in the tested direct seeding methods was not significant difference in terms of statistical analysis. The milled rice yield in the tested direct seeding methods was higher 2 ~ 8% being with 4.94 ~ 5.24t/ha than that of machine transplanting but there was not significant difference in terms of statistical analysis. The percentage of head rice was low in the tested direct seeding methods compared to machine transplanting. The weedy rice was not occurred in the tested rice cultivation methods. In conclusion the direct seeding method would be recommended to be a suitable to in following by Italian ryegrass harvesting in southern area of Korea in terms of reduction in production cost and high income basis for rice growing farmers.
