Greenhouse studies were carried out to find the difference of growth, weed competition and herbicides response in barley(Hordeum vulgare L. emend Larnark) under foggy and non-foggy condition. Plant height, leaf stage, leaf width and shoot fresh weight of barley under foggy condition were greatly increased, while heading rate ripening rate and number of grains per panicle of barley were reduced. Weed emergence based on fresh weight was much greater under foggy than that under non-foggy condition. Plant height of barley under foggy condition was increased comparing with non-foggy condition and significantly reduced with increasing the duration of weed competition, while 1,000-grain weight of barley reduced by the early competition(0∼20 days). Among the herbicides treated, butachlor and thiobencarb inhibited growth of barley under foggy than non-foggy condition. Plant height of barley treated of herbicides under foggy condition was ever increased but 1,000-grain weight of barley was reduced. Weeding efficacy(75-90%) by shoot fresh weight of weeds under foggy condition at 25 days after application was lower 3 to 15% than that under non-foggy condition.

This study was conducted to investigate the application effects of dried food waste powder (FWP) and mixtures of FWP and organic fertilizer (MFOs) on the growth of lettuce and Chinese cabbage. The physicochemical properties of FWP and MFOs were analyzed. As FWPs containing 3.11% NaCl was applied at 250 kg, 500 kg and 1,000 kg per 10a, growth factors of lettuce and Chinese cabbage, such as a number of leaf, leaf length, leaf width, and dry weight were decreased than those of control appling organic fertilizer. The higher the FWP ratio in the MFOs, the lower the concentrations of N and P₂O₅ in the MFOs, while the higher the concentration of NaCl. As compared to dry weight of control after treating MFOs, lettuce were not significant in MFOs treatments containing 10~30% FWP, and Chinese cabbage in MFOs treatment containing 10% FWP.

BACKGROUND: Since the number of crops cultivated in reclaimed land is huge, it is very difficult to quantify the total crop production. Therefore, a non-destructive method for predicting crop production is needed. Salt tolerant root vegetables such as red beets and sugar beet are suitable for cultivation in reclaimed land. If their underground biomass can be predicted, it helps to estimate crop productivity. Objectives of this study are to investigate maximum leaf length and weight of red beet, sugar beet, and turnips grown in reclaimed land, and to determine optimal model with regression analysis for linear and allometric growth models. METHODS AND RESULTS: Maximum leaf length, width, and root fresh weight of red beets, sugar beets, and turnips were measured. Ten linear models and six allometric growth models were selected for estimation of root fresh weight and non-linear regression analysis was conducted. The allometric growth model, which have a variable multiplied by square of maximum leaf length and maximum leaf width, showed highest R² values of 0.67, 0.70, and 0.49 for red beets, sugar beets, and turnips, respectively. Validation results of the models for red beets and sugar beets showed the R² values of 0.63 and 0.65, respectively. However, the model for turnips showed the R² value of 0.48. The allometric growth model was suitable for estimating the root fresh weight of red beets and sugar beets, but the accuracy for turnips was relatively low. CONCLUSION: The regression models established in this study may be useful to estimate the total production of root vegetables cultivated in reclaimed land, and it will be used as a non-destructive method for prediction of crop information.

Narrow and broad sense heritabilities for the characters ranged from 0.1618 to 0.6914 and from 0.7494 to 0.9357, respectively, in F$_1$ hybrids of $5{\times}5$ full diallel crosses. Plant height and days to flowering had the highest heritabilities and yield and quality the lowest. Partial dominance was exhibited by plant height, number of leaves, leaf area per plant and days to flowering. Over dorminance was detected by leaf width and yield of cured leaf. Leaf length and quality would be considered being controlled by a complete dominance effect.

528 Korean land races of barley were examined for IS agronomic traits to determine if any preferential trait associations with early heading and winter hardiness existed in this collection. Eight traits were non-randomly associated with the 1977～'78 cold damage levels, and seven traits were non-randomly associated with heading date. No early heading, least-cold-damaged land race lines were found. However the least-cold-damaged class preferentially associated with mid-early heading land race lines. Ten traits were preferentially associated with the mid-early heading, least-cold-damaged class. The utilization of these associations should increase the probability that genes for winter hardiness will be preserved in the mid-early heading selections from this collection.

This experiment was conducted to identify the effect of several plant growth retardants on growth of Sedirea japonica seedlings cultured in vitro and their changes of invertase activities. When seedlings of Sedirea japonica were treated with ancymidol and paclobutrazol, as the concentrations were increased, leaf length was gradually shortened and leaf width became wider than that of control. On the other hand, root length was shorter, but the number of root and the root's diameters were greatly increased, compared with control. In 0.05mg/L uniconazole, growth of leaf and root were enhanced, compared with the control and higher concentrations of uniconazole. As concentration of each growth retardants was increased, leaf shape became round and smaller. Both soluble acid invertase activity and soluble alkaline invertase activity in leaf were decreased in higher concentrations of each growth retardant, but those of the root were contrary to those of the leaf. To confirm the estimated invertase activities, starch content of leaf was higher in low concentration treatments in each growth retardant, but in the root was contrary to content that of the leaf.

The purpose of this study was to figure out the best condition in growth and sod quality of Mentha spp. according to cutting methods and soil depth. Applemint (M. suaveolens), Peppermint (M. piperita), and Spearmint (M. spicata) were used. Regardless of cultivar and soil depth condition, the growth rate in top cutting was higher than layering method. The difference between layering and layering without apical meristem was not significant. Optimal condition for growth was 5cm depth of soil. However, the shallower the depth of the soil, the better quality of sod. Among three Mentha species, M suavelens showed plant height and node number and M. piperita had shoot number were higher than other variety. The best condition of sod was top cutting and 1cm depth of soil regardless of cultivar.
