Fatty acid compositions of Panax ginseng leaves (6 year) grown under different light intensity in field and of the detached leaves exposed to high temperature (20 hours) were investigated by gas chromatography. Linoleic, linolenic, palmitic and palmitoleic acid were the major components(80%) of leaf lipid. The higher the growth light intensity, the lower the percentage of unsaturated acids or bonds, indicating metabolic adaptation to high temperature. Pattern similarity of fatty acid composition was little changed until 20% light but significantly different at 30%, suggesting 20% as limitation light intensity. The close similarity of fatty acid composition between the loaves grown under 30% light and the one at harvest rises uncertainty between adaptation to high temperature and senescence. Total fatty acid content decreased with the increase of light intensity. Short term high temperature $(25^{\circ}C\;or\;35^{\circ}C)$ increased total fatty acid content, unsaturated acid percentage and insignificant difference in pattern similarity of composition.

This experiment was conducted to find out the optimum fertilization level and topping depth for flue-cured tobacco in the fields which chinese cabbage and red-pepper were cultivated. The fertilization level were 0, 25, 50, 75kg per l0a as tobacco compound fertilizer and the topping depth were topping floral axis, topping under the second leaf frp, axos and the fourth leaf from floral axis. In order to product good quality tobacco leaves in the fields which vegetables were cultivated, the optimum amount of tobacco compound fertilizer was recommended 50-75kg per l0a for the field of the chinese cabbage cultivated. and 75kg per l0a for the field of the red-pepper cultivated. The optimum topping depth was desirable at topping under second leaf from floral axis for good leaf quality in chinese cabbage and red-pepper cultured field.

The experiment was designed to determine the proper shading rate and shading materials to decrease the excessive dried leaves during cure of burley tobacco. Five shading rates and seaven shading materials were applied on the pipe vinyl house from initial stage or yellow stage of cure. Temperature was lower and weight-loss of leaves delayed with shading from initial stage to browning stage of cure. Excessive dried leave were largely decreased as shading rate was increased to 70%. However, at shading rate more than 70%, its decreasing extent was fewer. Price per kg and physical properties improved considerably at shading rate of 50%. Shading materials alone could not completely prevent excessive dried leaves but it could decrease them. Orange, white and purple color vinyl among shading materials had so effects of shading as the black shading cloth during curing. However, white color vinyl didn't endure more than a few months due to sunshine. A difference of light quality in visible light was no significance on air curing.

This study was conducted to find out the effects of nitrogen, potassium application on the plant growth, grain yield and nodule formation of Winged bean. Plant height, number of branches, number of leaves, leaf area, NAR, RGR and CGR increased with basal and top dressing of nitrogen and potassium application. Especially CGR was increased significantly with the added amount of potassium. Number of nodules and nodule dry weight decreased with application of basal and top dressing nitrogen, but increased with the added amount of potassium. Green pod, tuber and grain yield increased with application of basal and top dressing nitrogen, and the added amount of potassium. There appeared positive correlation coefficient between grain yield and growth charateristics, and between grain yield and components. But there showed negative correlation coefficient among yield, number of nodules, dry weight and P$_2$O$\_$5/ contents in leaf.

This study was established on which the selenium (Se), known as one of the functional elements in the human body, treatment was the most effective for the Se uptake in the soil and tree. Se treatments included foliar application, soil fertigation, and trunk injection. Se fertigation and control had similar soil $P_2O_5$, K, and Mg concentrations, and calcium and Se concentrations in the soil were greater on the control and Se fertigation, respectively. Leaf characteristics were not different among the treated trees. No differences were observed for the leaf K and Ca concentrations among the treated trees, and foliar Mg was greater on the Se treated trees than the control. Se foliar application and trunk injection had greater Se concentrations in the leaves and fruits than the Se fertigation and control.

Inhibition of tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) infection by 4 surfactants, sodium salts of alpha olefin (AOS), linear alkylbenzene (LAS), dioctyl sulfosuccinate (OSS), and dodecyl benzene sulfonic acid (SAS), was examined on tobacco cv. Xanthi-nc and NC 82. Infection of virions or TMV RNA was inhibited over 98% by the surfactants (2500 rpm). However, symptom development and viral concentration in tobacco plants treated with the surfactants into the rhizosphere soil 3 days before inoculation with TMV on leaves were not different from those in untreated tobacco plants. This indicates no significant systemic effects of the surfactants on the inhibition of TMV infection. The surfactants, except LAS, had no effect on the inhibition of viral infection when purified virions mixed with each surfactant and ultracentrifuged were inoculated on the tobacco plants. The virus was almost inactivated by LAS, showing that the viral infection was reduced more than 96%. The virus particles treated with the surfactants were not distinguishable in size and dimension from untreated normal particles, suggesting that the inhibitory action of the surfactants to TMV infection may not involve disintergration or uncoating of the virus at the early stage of infection.

This study was conducted to investigate the effect of seedling age on quality and yield in bag culture of sweet pepper. Seedlings of 20, 30, 40, 50, and 60 days old were compared. 60 days old seedlings grew faster than 30 or 40 days old seedlings. Mean days to bloom after sowing was fastest as 48 days in 30 days old seedling, followed by 20 days old seedlings. Rot activity was higher in 20 or 30 days old seedlings. Number and length of first lateral roots with thickness of 1.5mm or less, reached to 106.5 and 1.085 cm, respectively in 30 days old seedlings. Root weight, root length, and number of primary lateral roots were the greatest in 30 days old seedling. Greater early yield a obtained in 50 and 60 days old seedling, while late yield was grater in 30 or 40 days old seedlings.

This study was carried out to clarify the effects of number of branches per pot on the growth and yield in long term bag-culture of sweet pepper. Two plants were grown in pot with four, six, and eight branches. The results are summarized as the followings : 1. Plant height, stem diameter, leaf dry weight, root dry weight, and stem dry weight did not significantly differ among treatments, while the number of leaves and leaf area were the greatest In the treatment with eight branches per pot. 2. Although fruit length was not influenced by the number of branches per pot, fruit diameter and fruit weight were greater with four branches per pot. The yield of the four branches was 124.5ton/ha, which was not significantly different from the yield of the eight branches, 113.4ton/ha. Considering the average fruit weight, fruit quality, and labor saving, four branches per pot appears to be appropriate. 3. Although the yield of eight branches per pot during the first five months was higher, however, four branches per pot should be recommended for the long term bag- culture of sweet pepper because the yield of the four branches from April, which is the middle stage of growth to the final harvest was higher than the yields of the others.

A biofertilizer, BIOACTIVE, was manufactured by N-acetyl-thioproline (ATCA) and mineral phosphate solubilizing bacteria. The growth promoting effect of the biofertilizer on lettuce was evaluated under three different pot conditions, and its stability was assessed in the field. According to the results of the pot experiments, plant growth was improved compared with that of control: 128%, 122%, and 153% for the leaf number, leaf length, and leaf mass, respectively. Applying the manufactured biofertilizer increased the concentration of phosphate: 118% and 132% in the cultivation soil and plant cells, respectively. These show that BIOACTIVE may have potential as an effective biofertilizer in agriculture.
