This study was conducted to find out the effect of long-term compost application on the chemical properties of the orchard soils and apple quality. The contents of P and cations in soils were increased by the application of compost, while there are no difference in that of organic matter. The increase in application rates of compost resulted to the increase in apple yields, however, firmness and Brix of apple were as not differentiated by the compost application. The application of lower chemical fertilizer and higher compost resulted to the increase in the contents of organic matter and Ca in soils. The compost application resulted to the increase in inorganic material contents in soil but was not effective on the quality of apple fruits.

In order to clarify the possibility of occurrence of apple replant disease and the severity of it in Kyungbuk area, 23 apple orchard soils older than 20 years were collected and growth response of apple seedlings in the soil was tested by soil fumigation. Some factors concerned with apple replant disease in some cases were also checked. The results were as follows. 1. Plant height of apple seedlings was significantly increased in 6 apple orchards and up to 38% in a most conspicuous case by soil fumigation. 2. Fresh weight of aboveground part(except leaves), underground part and whole plant(except leaves) of apple seedlings was significantly increased in 10,4 and 9 apple orchards, respectively by soil fumigation. The response of soil fumigation was pronounced in fresh weight of aboveground part of apple seedlings, more than 50% increase in 5 apple orchards. 3. The effects of available copper and arsenic content in soil and soil nematodes population on the plant height and fresh weight of apple seedlings were not recognized as important factors causing apple replant disease. 4. Effect of soil PH on the occurrence of apple replant disease was not recognized.

This study investigated population fluctuations in two mite species in apple orchards over 20-year period. The occurrence of two major mite pests infesting apple trees, two-spotted spider mite Tetranychus urticae and European red mite Panonychus ulmi (Acari: Tetranychidae), was investigated from 1992 to 2011 in major apple-producing districts, including four to eight cities, in the southern part of the Republic of Korea. The 20-year trend revealed that more orchards were infested by T. urticae from 1992 to 1999, but thereafter P. ulmi became dominant. The observed mean density of P. ulmi was consistent, whereas that of T. urticae fluctuated during this period. The analysis of occurrence in four time periods reveals that the density of T. urticae decreased after 2002. The monthly sampling, revealed that the density of P. ulmi was higher in April, whereas the density of T. urticae was higher from May to August. This change may be due to a change in the frequency of pesticide spraying, ground vegetation management, a decrease in nitrogen fertilization, and the overall orchard management practices. However, this projection should be examined in more detail. On the basis of the findings of this study, it can be concluded that cultural practices, including fertilization, and environmental changes, such as pesticide spray frequency and integrated pest management practices, affect species dominance and population densities of the two mite species in apple orchards.

Regardless of the kind of the apple orchards whether received various fungicides application or not Rovral exhibited the most efficient inhibitory effect on the sporulation of Alternaria mali with the spotted leaf disks at the recommended dose $0.5{\mu}g/ml$ as well as the lower or the higher doses. When applied at the recommended doses $0.7{\mu}g,\;0.75{\mu}g,\;and\;0.7{\mu}g/ml$ of Antracol, Dithane M-45, and Dikar, respectively, these fungicides showed complete inhibitory effects on the sporulation. At the lower levels of application, they allowed the sporulation of 10,000 to 25,000 conidia/ml. Polyoxin and Difolatan, when applied on the leaf disks from the orchard that had received the fungicides application, exhibited low effects allowing the sporulation of around 20,000 conidia/ml. On the leaf disks from the orchard that had received no fungicide application, however, both fungicides showed relatively high inhibitory effects of the sporulation. The inhibitory effects of Captan, Dakonil, and Spat on the sporulation were lower than those of the aforementioned fungicides. Bayleton was the least effective among the fungicides used in the present investigation. Benlate showed promoting effect on the sporulation of the apple leaf spot fungus rather tan inhibiting.

국내 하천, 호소에 유입되는 오염물질 중 30% 이상이 농업 활동 등으로부터 기인한다. 정부 부처는 '04년부터 농업 비점오염원 저감 대책을 수립·시행하고 있으나 농촌 인구 고령화, 열악한 재정환경, 관행화·고착화 된 농법 등으로 인해 주민참여 및 대책 적용의 한계가 있었다. 금호강 상류 보현산댐 유역은 대부분 임야로 고현천 등 상류 하천변에 사과원이 밀집되어 있다. 또한, 유역면적이 32.16km²로 좁고, 유로 연장 5km 이내로 짧으며 하천 경사가 급해 강우시 토양 유실량이 많고 유출속도가 빠르다. 이러한 유역 특성상 상류 사과원은 '16년 보현산댐 담수 이후 매년 반복적으로 발생하는 녹조 등 수질 문제를 초래하는 주요 비점오염원으로 지역사회 이슈가 되었다. 이에 따라 K-water는 낙동강수계관리위원회 환경기초조사사업의 일환으로 지역주민들과 논의를 통하여 댐 상류 사과원에 친환경농법(심층시비)를 적용하고 수질 개선 효과를 분석하였다. 심층시비는 과수 주변 토양 천공 후 퇴비를 시비하는 친환경농법으로 표층시비에 비해 초기 강우유출 오염물질량을 저감하고 퇴비 사용량도 줄일 수 있다. 금번 연구에서 실제 운영 중인 농지('19년 24천평, '20년 27천평)을 대상으로 심층시비를 시범적용한 결과, 퇴비 사용량은 표층시비의 50% 수준으로 감소하였고 과수 생육 및 품질에는 큰 영향이 없는 것으로 나타났다. 강우 시 유출농도는 표층시비 대비 TOC 5.0~41.3%, T-P 4.0~57.3% 감소했다. HSPF 유역 모델링 분석 결과, 전체 과수원 중 70% 농지에 심층시비를 적용한 경우, 하절기 유역 T-P 유입부하량이 5.0~6.8%(소유역 최대 28.2%) 감소하는 것으로 예측되었다. 본 연구결과를 바탕으로 심층시비를 확대 적용하고 유역 수질관리에 기여하고자 한다.

Monitoring was conducted to investigate the occurrence of Grapholita dimorpha Komai in Korean apple orchards using sex pheromone traps. G. dimorpa showed four peaks per year: early May, from late June to early July, from late July to mid August, and from late August to September. After adult emergence of the over-wintered G. dimorpha, G. dimorpha catches was decreased significantly and increased again after July. In G. molesta traps, G. molesta and G. dimorpha were trapped by 98.8 and 1.2%, respectively. Conversely in G. dimorpha traps, G. dimorpha and G. molesta were trapped by 99.7 and 0.3%, respectively. The 30.6% of the moths from the damaged apple fruits were G. dimorpha. This is the first report on G. dimorpha in apple orchards in Korea.
