This study was carried out to investigate the effects of several cooling methods such as water hose cooling, mist, fog and control on growth and microclimate, and to develop a simple nutriculture bed for production of fresh leaves of narrowhead goldenaray 'Ligularia stenocephala'. When the root-zone was cooled with 240 L/hr flow rate of $13^{\circ}C$ ground water using water hose, the temperature was lowered approximately by 2 to $3^{\circ}C$ than that of control. The growth of narrowhead goldenaray were favorable in the water hose cooling compared with the other cooling methods. Nutrient culture system having part cooling effect around plant canopy was developed. The system was composed of 15 cm diameter of water hose on side wall of beds, cooling hose, and expanded rice hull media as organic substrate. When cool water which the temperature changed in the range of 14 to $22^{\circ}C$ diurnally with 240 L/hr of flow rate through water hose, the air temperature around canopy and root-zone temperature were dropped by $0.5^{\circ}C$ and $3^{\circ}C$ compared with that of conventional styrofoam bed, respectively. These results showed that newly devised bed system using water hose was simple and economical for the production of high quality narrowhead goldenaray leaves. This system might be practically used both at summer and winter season for the cultivation of narrow head goldenaray by part cooling or heating around root-zone and plant canopy.

This survey was conducted to know characterization of weed occurrence under protected culture conditions at Yousong in 1985. Chenopodium album, Polygonum hydropiper, Portulaca oleracea and Digitaria sanguinalis were dominated in outdoor, whereas Capsella bursa-pastoris, C. album, D. sanguinalis and P. oleracea were dominant in polyethylene house. More weeds emerged in mulching plots and dry weight of weeds was greater in non-mulching plots. Summer broadleaf weeds and summer grasses were abundant in outdoor, whereas non-mulching plots in polyethylene house was dominated by winter broadleaf weeds, and mulching plots in polyethylene house were dominated by winter grasses and winter broadleaf weeds in early stage and summer grasses and summer broadleaf weeds in late stage. Simpson index was high in polyethylene house and Shannon's diversity index, maximum diversity for the Shannon diversity index were lower than eveness using the Shannon diversity index and this trend was more remarkable in mulching and mulching in tunnel than in non-mulching under polyethylene house condition. Shannon diversity index, maximum diversity for the Shannon diversity index were high in mulching or tunnel, and Simpson index was high in non-mulching in outdoor condition. Interspecific competition was more severe than intraspecific competition in both conditions.

A rust fungus has caused a serious early defoliation of Zanthoxylum schinifolium during growing seasons every year at the plantations located at Hadong and Jinju, Kyeongsangnam-Do in Korea. In order to identify the rust fungus and clarify its life cycle in Korea, aeciospores from Pinus thunbergii were artificially inoculated on the leaves of Z. schinifolium. Uredinial stage was successively formed on the leaves of Z. schinifolium. Based on the artificial inoculation test and on the morphological features of the dried specimens collected from P. thunbergii and Z. schinifolium, this rust fungus was identified as Coleosporium xanthoxyli. Morphological features of aecial and uredinial stages of the species were described. The first symptom of the infection was developed from later June to early July. And leaf infection ratio was 17.8%-58.7% during August at Hadong and Jinju regions of Kyeongsangnam-Do in Korea.

This experiment was executed to investigate the effect of the carpenter bee as a pollinator on the fruit set increment of sweet pepper in summer hydroponics in the alpine area of Gangwon province, Korea. Where the number of fruit sets were increasing during the treatment of pollination by the carpenter bee, total yields during the whole growing period were not different. The number of seeds per fruit in the treatment of the carpenter bee increased more than that in the control by 7.3 percent increment, but the percentage of blossom-end rot increased. As fruit weight range of SS size (below 120g) decreased and that of L size (from 181g to 210g) increased by the pollination treatment, so the percentage of standardized products for the export to Japan improved. Therefore this result was effective for the fruit production of high quality for the export to Japan and it will be necessary for further study on the method of reducing blossom-end rot to be done.

감자는 전세계 대부분의 국가에서 재배되고 있는 세계 4대 주곡 작물인 동시에 스낵류 시장에서도 중요한 부분을 차지하고 있다. 우리나라의 감자 가공산업은 1990년대 초부터 활기를 띠기 시작여하 현재 2,000억불의 매출을 달성하고 있다. 이중 우리나라 농민이 직접 생산한 감자를 원료로 사용하는 천연칩 감자 가공산업은 매출액을 기준으로 144억 (1997년)에서 700억 (2001년)으로 과거 10년 동안 괄목할 만한 성장을 하였다. 우리나라의 연간 감자 칩 원료용 가공용 감자 소요량은 총 51,600톤 (2002 년)으로 그중 40,600톤은 국내생산량으로 충당하고 나머지는 냉동감자를 수입하여 처리하고 있다. 가공원료용 감자는 괴경의 크기나 모양과 같은 외부품질과 환원당이나 고형분 함량과 같은 내부품질이 좋아야 한다. 하지만 가공용 감자의 내·외부품질이 좋게 판정되어도 내부갈색반점이나 중심공동과 같은 괴경 생리장해가 발생하면 원료용 감자로서의 상품 가치가 상실된다. 국내 칩 가공원료용 감자는 봄재배에서는 약 5 ∼ 7 ％, 여름재배에서는 10 ∼ 15 ％의 괴경 생리장해가 발생되고 있다. 현재 위와 같은 생리장해는 가공공장에서 감자를 잘라서 골라내거나 감자 칩을 만든 후 제거하는 방법을 쓰고 있다. 이에 감자를 수확 후 감자칩으로 가공하기 전에 생리장해가 발생한 감자를 제거하여 생산 공정에서의 불필요한 가공을 줄일 수 있는 방법이 개발되어야 할 필요성이 증대되고 있다. 최근, 농산물의 비파괴적 품질 평가와 선별에 있어서 가장 실용적이고 성공적인 기술 중의 하나는 농산물의 광학적 성질을 이용한 전기-광학 기술이다. 그중 X-선과 같이 파장이 짧은 방사 에너지는 대부분의 농산물을 투과하여 내부의 질량 밀도의 변화와 상관관계를 갖는 품질 인자를 비파괴적으로 평가하는데 적합하나 아직 국내에선 X-선을 이용한 가공용 감자의 내부 결함특성에 대한 연구는 이뤄지지 않고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 가공용 감자의 내부결함 특성중 하나인 내부동공의 X-선에 의한 특성을 본 연구소에 있는 X-선 발생장비로 측정해 보고 비파괴적인 방법으로 실시간 가능성을 시험하였다. 감자는 수원 농산물 도매시장에서 2003년산 가공용 감자 (품종:선농)를 구매하여 사용하였다. 감자내 내부동공은 35 ∼ 40 kV와 5.25 mA값으로 발생된 X-선에 의해 잘 검출되는 것으로 나타나, 현장에서 충분히 활용가능 할 것으로 판단되었다. 금후, 실시간으로 내부동공을 검출할 수 있는 시스템을 개발할 계획이다.

We determined the genetic relatedness among 81 commercial varieties of oyster mushrooms by either comparison of fruiting body characteristics or using PCR amplification with URP primers. Also, we assessed their temperature adaptation by using box cultivation. Based on our data, some varieties such as Wonhyung and variety 1, Suhan and variety 20, Wang-hukpyung and variety 4, Chunchu #2 and variety 6, Shinong #11 and variety 1, Samgu #1 and variety 2, showed the close genetic relatedness between each other. It is known that mushroom culture room is affected by outer temperature because mushroom need the adequate aeration for their growth. Therefore, in aspect of saving energy, the cultivation of season favorable mushroom species has been recommended. Eight different commercial varieties including Sa-chul, Yeoreum and Bunhong(Pink) grew well at high temperature ($16^{\circ}C$). Also, about 51 different oyster mushroom strains were good at relatively high temperature. However, other 64 different oyster mushroom varieties were grew well at low temperature ($11^{\circ}C$). Fourty-nine varieties were adapted well in most temperatures. The slow growth rate were observed in some varieties including Kun(P. eryngii ), Awi(P. nebrodensis ), and Cheunbok(P. abalonus ), which are not suitable for box cultivation. We believe that the culture characterization of each mushroom varieties should help many farmers in many aspects such as saving energy, quantity improvement and new variety development etc.

'Muha' is a new strawberry (Fragaria x ananassa Duch.) cultivar, which was released by the Highland Agriculture Research Institute in 2015. The 'Muha' cultivar originated from a cross between 'Maehyang' and 'Selva' that showed excellent ever-bearing characteristics, including continuous flowering habit and high soluble-solid content under long-day and high temperature conditions in 2010. This cultivar was initially named 'Saebong No. 7' after examining its characteristics and productivity in summer culture from 2011 to 2014. After regional adaptability tests in 2015, 'Muha' was selected from Saebong No. 7 as an elite cultivar. The general characteristics of 'Muha' include semispreading type, elliptical leaf, and strength vigor in growth. The fruits are conical in shape, red in color. 'Muha' plants have 18.7 flower clusters, 8.7 more than 'Flamenco' plants. The fruit hardness of 'Muha' and Flamenco' was about the same. The number of fruits of 'Muha' was 37.2, which was 20 higher than that of 'Flamenco'. The marketable yield was 23,981 kg·ha^-1, 159% higher than 'Flamenco'. 'Muha' is suitable for north and highland area of the Southeast Asia as a high hardness and yield cultivar, because it showed continuous flowering habit under long-day and high temperature conditions.
