This experiment was performed to investigate the effect of UV-B (4 kJ${\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdot}d^{-1}$) irradiation and growth inhibitor (50 mg${\cdot}L^{-1}$ diniconazole, 500 mg${\cdot}L^{-1}$) treatment on the overgrowth retardation and the growth and yield afterplanting in plug-grown cucumber, tomato, and hot pepper sedlings. Stem length of UV-B-irradiated and iniconazole-treated seedlings was shortened by 38 and 35%^ in cucumber, 37 and 41% in tomato, and 23 and 23% in hot pepper, respectively, compared with non-treated seedlings. While retarding effect ofhexaconazole waslower that that of UV-B or diniconazle. Leaf area and dry weight alson decreased but ldaf thickness increased in UV-B irradiated or growth-inhibitor-treated seedlings. Even thouth the plant height and leaf area of UV-B-irradiated seedlings ant seedling stage were shorter and smaller that those ofnon-treatedd seedlings, they were recovered to the similar level to the growth of non-treated seedlings 20to 30days after trasplantin. The diconazole-and hexaconazole-treated seedlings were delayed recovery to their normal growth, Fruit yiedl of UV-V-irradiated hot pepper and tomato slightly increased but UV-B irradiated cucumer had similar yield to growth-inhibitor-treated one. It suggested that the use of UV-B irradiation could become a reliable tool of overgrowth retardation of plug-grown vegetable seedlings in greenhouse.

An experiment was carried out to investigate the effects of plant growth regulators on the growth and fiber yield of ramie. Gibberellin (GA) and Atonic acid were applied at the various levels of application dates, application frequencies and concentration. Stem growth of ramie increased greatly by applying GA on the meristem of shoot apex. Among three treatments of application frequencies of GA, that is, one time application at the stage of stem length with 50cm, twice applications at the stem length of 50cm and 100cm, and three times applications at stem length of 50cm, 100cm and 150cm, stem growth increased more as application frequency increased. GA application is more effective on stem growth at the later stage of growth than the earlier growth stage. GA treatment of 100 to 300 ppm is more effective on stem elongation than 50 ppm, which was due on the elongation of internodes without increase in number of nodes. One time application of GA enhanced leaf growth more or less regardless of concentration, but GA was applied more frequently, leaf growth was inhibited more at higher concentration. Fiber yield was the highest at the treatment of three times application of GA with 100 ppm. This treatment also showed the highest percentage of fiber with 5.3%, which is much higher value compared with that of control treatment with 4.6%. Atonic acid was less effective on stem elongation than GA, but it also seemed to be effective on the enhancement of fiber development.

This research was conducted to determine the effect of mixing ratio of aquafarm waste water sludge (AWWS) in the growing medium as a source of fertilizers on growth of plug seedlings of pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) and tomato (Lycopersicum esculentum Mill.). Increased mixing ratio of AWWS resulted in increased fresh and dry weights, leaf area, plant height, and total chlorophyll content, although there were slight differences in growth characteristics at 20 and 40 days after sowing. Concentration of AWWS affected insignificantly the percent dry matter, number of leaves, and length of the longest root. The addition of AWWS increased pH and decreased EC in the medium as compared to that of chemical fertilizer. Compared to the control of a liquid fertilizer, 4 or 8 kg AWWS${\cdot}45L^{-1}$ medium (Sludge 4) gave a similar or slightly better growth. Above results suggested that addition of about 4 kg AWWS${\cdot}45L^{-1}$medium is sufficient for seedling growth and the AWWS can be used as a substitute for the liquid fertilizer in plug seedling production.

This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of several fungicides and growth regulators on rice seedling growth and damping-off in seedling boxes for machine transplanting. Fungicide treated plots were better seedling growth, shoot regrowth, rooting ability, change of moisture content than those of nontreated plot. Metalaxyl application of Samgangbyeo and SF8002 application of Nagdongdyeo apparently increased plant height, length of the third leaf and fourth leaf. And metaiaxyl application highly increased dry weight. Fungicide treated plots were highly effective in reducing the incidence of damping-off. Benzyladenine application of Samgangbye and $GA_3$ application of Nagdongbyeo apprently increased plant height. But ABA application highly decreased plant height. ABA application and aCE application resulted in highly increased rooting ability. Fungicide and $GA_3$ treated plots, Metalaxyl and growth regulator treated plots resulted in highly increased plant height. I soprothiolane and growth regulator treated plots resulted in decreased plant height. Dachigaren and lAA treated plot apprently increased dry weight and shoot dry weight/plant height. Fungicide and growth regulator treated plots were highly effective in reducing the incidence of damping-off.

The objective of this study was to describe and analyze the effect of high pressure sodium lamp lighting (HPS) on dynamics of growth and dry matter partitioning, and light use efficiency of sweet pepper crop grown over winter season. Young sweet pepper seedlings were planted at 3.75 plants per $m^2$ on September 29, 2010 and treated with HPS for 16 hours from December 14, 2010 until March 18, 2011. The number of leaves per plant were significantly increased with HPS, whereas the number of internodes and leaf area were less affected. HPS reduced the plant height with higher number of fruits per stem compared to those of without HPS lighting (CON). There were large differences in total dry mass production, stem and fruit dry mass between HPS and CON and those with HPS increased by 67.8%, 28.5%, and 97.1% compared to CON, respectively. Each organs of dry mass partitioning was calculated by leaf, stem or fruit growth rate divided by total plant growth rate. Dynamics of dry mass partitioning to leaf and stem between HPC and CON was measured in range of 45-47% at beginning of growth phase and drastically decreased after starting fruit growth in both treatments. Dry matter partitioning to vegetative organs was 4% higher compared to the plant grown under HPS lighting. Averaged dry matter partitioning to fruit with HPS, however, was largely increased by 14.2% compared to CON. Dynamics of the plant growth were well described by expolinear growth equation with three parameters of maximum relative growth rate, absolute growth rate and lost time to reach linear phase. The maximum growth rate of leaf, stem and fruit with HPS was increased by 18.6%, 74.7%, and 143.5% compared to CON. There was a linear relationship between intercepted light integral and vegetative organs (leaf and stem), fruit or total dry mass production. Light use efficiency (LUE, $g{\cdot}MJ^{-1}$) of total dry mass was $4.90g{\cdot}MJ^{-1}$ for HPS and $3.84g{\cdot}MJ^{-1}$ for CON, LUE of vegetative organs was $1.56g{\cdot}MJ^{-1}$ for HPS and $1.61g{\cdot}MJ^{-1}$ for CON and LUE of fruit dry mass was $3.34g{\cdot}MJ^{-1}$ for HPS and $2.23g{\cdot}MJ^{-1}$ for CON. The difference in LUE of total dry mass between treatments, therefore, occurred mainly from the different in LUE of fruit dry mass.

Principal component analysis was used for ana1zing growth data to know the relationship between growth characteristics and yield as well as its components. The first principal component accounted for average time of the specific leaf area sampled, leaf area index, and dry weight, and the second component for the position of the changing point of growth characteristics. The component scores were more affected by the nitrogen level than variety. Yield were affected by fertility ratio and number of spikelets per hill which have close relation with the component score of leaf area index and dry weight per hill.

The wasabi was planted in glasshouse to investigate the effect shade level (0, 10, 30, 70%) on growth and photosynthetic response. The net photosynthetic rate and stomatal conductance were the highest under 10% shading rate in greenhouse. The lowest transpiration rate was in the non-shading treatment. 70% shading rate significantly reduced in photosynthetic characteristics. The number of leaf was decreased with increasing of shading rate. Leaf and petiole weight was the highest 10% shading and then followed by the non-shading treatment. Number of leaves, leaf, petiole and total weight were severely declined in 70% shading treatment. Shading rate (0%, 10%, and 30%) did not significantly influenced on the leaf length, leaf width and root growth. 10% shading level was the most effective for wasabi leaf production in hydroponics.
