The aim of this research was carried out that leafty and tonic vegetable using garlic (Allium victorialis L. var. platyphyllum Makino) makes use of landscape ground-cover plant. Following shading level treatments (30%, 50%, 80%), garlic was cultivated to investigate plant growth characteristic and chlorophyll content. Leaf number of all treatments was unaffected, and 80% shading treatment had grown vigorous growth 16.8 cm leaf length and 10.1 cm leaf width compared to 13.4 cm leaf length and 7.3 cm leaf width for the non-shading treatment. Fresh weight of non-shading treatment was better than those of three shading treatments, however, 80% shading treatment had produced 10.4 g fresh weight of stem part compared to 8.5 g for the for the non-shading treatment. The chlorophyll content of the 50 and 80 shading treatments showed 42.8% and 40.5% respectively. These treatments increased 36.7% chlorophyll content compared to non-shading treatments. Following shading level treatments, growth characteristics of garlic in 80 shading level treatment shows outstanding growth and it is worthy of planting as shading ground-cover plants.

This experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of slow-release fertilizer on warm type garlic cultivation in the Southwestern region of Korea. The slow-release fertilizers used were UF(Urea-Formaldehydes)70, 100, 130, CDU(Crotonylidene Diurea)100, and IBDU(Isobuty- lidene Diurea)100. The slow-release fertilizer treatment slightly increased plant height, leaf sheath diameter, and leaf number compare with conventional fertilizer treatment. Also, large bulb rate, nitrogen and pyruvic acid contents of garlic in slow-release fertilizer plot were higher than other treatments. Application of slow-release fertilizer increased the commercial yields.

This experiment was carried out to find out proper soil acidity (pH) that can enhanced ornamental worth and marketability on flowerpot cultivation of Saxifraga stolonifera. It was treated 3 replications of randomized complete block design to pH 4.5, 5.0, 5.5 and 6.0. Soil was used peatmoss and young plant of Saxifraga stolonifera planted at 10cm pot of diameter. It was investigated to growth characteristics at intervals of twenty days after planting. On the growth characteristics at different soil acdity (pH) of Saxifraga stolonifera, It was many growth increment of plant width, plant height, leaf length and leaf width on pH 4.5, but was remarkably reduced growth increment on a higher soil acidity (pH). Therefore, Saxifraga stolonifera was showed the best growth when planted at soil of $pH4.5{\sim}5.0$.

This study was carried out to know the variation of some leaf characteristics in Phyllostachys bambusoides by district and stands in Korea. The results obtained were summarized as follows ; The coefficients of variation of leaf characteristics in Iri were higher than the other districts. The variation coefficients of leaf characteristics were highly shown among stands in districts. The leaf characteristics were not significant differences in districts except in Iri. The leaf characteristics among stands were significant differences. The frequency distributions of form quotient of leaf blade width/leaf blade length were shown to be different from Gyeongju and Ulsan districts. In conclusion, the variations of leaf characteristics of Phyllostachys bambusoides were highly showed among stands in districs.

This study was carried out to clarify the effect of sowing method in four planting densities on growth and root yield of Cynanchum wilfordii. vine diameter, number of branches, number of branched roots, and root length, were greater in seedling transplanting than in direct sowing. In planting densities, main vine length, number of branches, and number of tillers were increased at higher planting density, but vine diameter, leaf length, leaf width, root length, and root diameter were increased at lower planting density. fresh root yield was greater in seedling transplanting than in direct sowing. In seedling transplanting, it was 53% higher in 27 plants per unit area than 1,680 kg/10a in 17 plants per unit area. Therefore, seedling transplanting in 27 plants per unit area showed most effective for increasing root yield of Cynanchum wilfordii.

This experiment was conducted to evaluate the contents of allylisothiocyanate and the change of hardness of the rhizome part of Wasabia japonica Matsum. by months after planting in water cultivation. No difference was found in plant height and leaf length at 10th and 15th months after planting, respectively. The rhizome part of wasabi was cut half and the dry weight was weighed. Dry weight was obtained as 17.3% and 21.6% from fresh lower and upper part of rhizome at 10th month after planting. At 15th month after planting, dry weight was obtained as 21.2% and 22.3% from fresh lower and upper part of rhizome. The contents of allylisothiocyanate were 0.047 mg/g and 0.633 mg/g at 10th and 15th month, respectively.

This study was conducted to increase the productivity and quality of C. auriculatum Royle ex Wight according to the various ridge height. The higher ridge height increased the vine length, leaf length, leaf width, leaf number, chlorophyll content, and leaf dry weight; however, the lower ridge height increased the stem diameter and branch numbers. The tuber number and length was increased at less than 20cm of ridge height, but the overall growth was retarded in the treatment of over 20cm ridge height. The tuber diameter was also thicker in the lower ridge. The rootlet ratio among the non-commercial tuber was increased in the 20cm and 30 cm ridge, and the decayed tuber ratio was increased in the lower ridge. The yield of tuber has increased with 3% and 11% in the 20cm and 30cm ridge height compared to 10cm ridge(515kg/10a).

The experiment was investigated the effects of lower root zone temperature on shoot and root growth of 'Akihime' strawberries in aeroponics in cold season. Root growth was decreased with decrease of root zone temperature, especially in lateral roots. Elongation of main roots was highest in $18^{\circ}C$ of root zone temperature. Number of lateral roots and length of lateral roots were lowest in $8^{\circ}C$ of root zone temperature. Lower root zone temperature resulted significantly in decrease of fresh weight of root and shoot and leaf area of strawberry. But there were no significant statistical differences in shoot fresh weight and leaf area in $8^{\circ}C$ and $13^{\circ}C$ of root zone temperature. Leaf length, leaf width and number of leaves of strawberry were decreased in lower root zone temperature. The results of this experiment will be utilized in the winter season cultivation for strawberry in hydroponics.

This experiment was conducted to study the effect of different defoliation methods on the same leaf characters and grain yields of perilla. Transplanting dates were from June 20, July 20, to August 20, 1989, and defoliated 30, 40, 50, 60 days after transplanting, respectively. The results obtained are summerized as follows: In the case that the fully developed leaves were defoliated, the number of total leaves were increased by more defoliations and by the later defoliation, Leaf length, width and area, fresh leaf weight, defoliated leaves per plant and grain yeidls were significantly influenced by the defoliation methods, Grain yields of the defoliation plots were lower than that of non-defoliation plot, As the above results, considering the grain yield, defoliation may be available in the case of one or two times of defoliation at the early growing stage. The profits from any type of defoliation were higher than that for grain yield only.

To define natural embryo growth and germination of the Korean ginseng (Panax ginseng C.A.Meyer) seed, freshly harvested and depulped seeds were seeded on nursery bed at Aug. 5 without stratification. At 100 days after seeding, embryo/endosperm length ratio of the seeds in nursery bed was higher than that of the seeds which were stratified with conventional method for 100 days. And also there was no significant difference between dehiscence ratio of the seeds in nursery bed and that from stratification with sand. The germination ratio of the ginseng seeds seeded without stratification at Aug. 5 was about 57% in average of 2 years and was not significantly lower than that of the seeds seeded after stratification at Nov. 15. And there were also no significant differencies of plant growth after germination between the ginseng seedlings from two seeding methods.
