This experiment has investigated the effect of growth, yield and fruit quality of fig plant by different concentration of nutrient solution. Nutrient solution for pig plant were three concentrations of the balanced nutrient formula development by Japanese Horticultural Experiment Station. Plant height, number of leaves, stem diameter and number of fruit per plant were the best at 1/2 concentration. However, leaf length and leaf width did not show any difference in other treatment. Fruit length, fruit diameter and soluble solids did not differ from the different concentration of nutrient solutions. However, the fruit weight of fig plant was heavier by hydroponics than by soil culture in 2nd experiment. Early stage growth of fig plant was better at low concentration of nutrient solution and yield was better at high concentration. The result of this experiment will be utilized in the new application for fig plant hydroponics.

This study was conducted to identify the morphological characteristics and variations level by site environment of native bermudagrass (Cynodon spp.) from costal and island region in South Korea. Soil chemical properties and morphological characteristics were investigated. There were significant differences in plant height, leaf width, leaf length, cotton on leaf blade, stolon, and number of seed per spike depending on where they were collected from natural habitat. We have discovered a variety of variation among the investigated traits in Korean native bermudagrass ecotypes. There were broad leaf and fine leaf types of native bermudgarass in S. Korea. Adaptability was in very high on inadequate environment in bermudagrass with broad leaf types, it has also been suggested that management worth in terms of use. These results may provide basic information for bermudagrass breeding development and the collected types during this investigation would be worth being preserved as genetic resources for further breeding purposes.

In this study, manufacture of kitchen garden soil and its application on the growth of Lettuce has been performed. The optimal ratio of various raw materials for pH, total nitrogen, phosphate, cations, and salt content was found to be 49 : 35 : 10 : 5 : 1(w/w) in peatmoss, livestock manure, cocopeat, zeolite, and microbial fertilizer, respectively. In the growth experiment using Lettuce, the manufactured soil obtained 21% & 20% increase in leaf length and width, 17% increase in chlorophyll, and 22% in biomass, compared to the control.

Bioenzyme was made up of two predominant strain, which were nomenclated PN-1 and PN-2, respectively. PN-1 possessed spore forming ability, motility, gram positive, catalase activity, but didn't have oxidase activity, urease activity, nitrate reduction and indole forming ability. Taxonomical characteristics of the PN-2 were similar to PN-1 strain, but colony color of PN-2 was yellow-white and nitrate reduction ability was positive. Predominant strains were ascertained by physiologically and morphologically. PN-1 and PN-2 were identified Bacillus lichenifonnis and Bacillus thuringinensis, respectively. Yield of lettuce significantly increased in first and second bioenzyme treatment. Fresh weight, length of shoot, width of leaves significantly increased in N,P,K and N,P,K followed by Bioenzyme application.

In an effort to produce high quality Curcuma aromatica Salisbury in the southern area of Korea, a variety of shade-method was used to prevent withering during the summer. The experimental results are summarized as follows. The effect of shading on emergence of Curcuma aromatica Salisbury rhizome was none or very little. The effect of shading on the growth and development of Curcuma aromatica Salisbury was the highest under a shade rate of 15∼30%. In this case the size of the plant height was the biggest and leaves the largest, thus showing the best condition for plant growth. The growth of rhizome under a shade rate of 15% was more active than that without shading. The weight of rhizome in this case was the largest, and thus showing the best condition for rhizome growth.

본 연구는 각시톱시네고사리(Dryopteris hangchowensis Ching)의 전엽체 증식 및 포자체 형성을 위한 번식방법을 구명하고자 수행되었다. 각시톱지네고사리의 식물체를 무가온 온실에 재배하면서 포자를 채취하였으며, 수집된 포자는 기내에서 발아시켜 전엽체를 획득한 다음 계대배양하면서 실험의 재료로 사용하였다. 전엽체 대량증식을 위하여 1/4, 1/2, 1배로 조절한 MS배지와 Knop배지를 조성하였다. 이후 전엽체 300mg을 균일하게 다져 조성된 배지에 8주간 배양하였다. 연구의 결과, 전엽체의 생체중은 1/2MS와 1/4MS에서 3.4g으로 가장 많이 증가하였다. 현미경 관찰의 결과, 두 배지 모두 정상적인 전엽체의 형태로 발달하였으며, 생육도 양호하였다. 포자체 형성을 위한 적정 배양토의 혼합조건을 확인하고자 원예상토, 피트모스, 펄라이트 및 마사토의 혼합비율을 5종류로 달리하여 조성하였다. 준비된 배양토를 사각분($7.5{\times}7.5{\times}7.5cm$)에 충진 후 기내 배양한 전엽체 1g과 증류수를 함께 10초간 분쇄하여 토양표면에 균일하게 분주한 다음 12주간 재배하였다. 연구의 결과, 원예상토, 피트모스, 펄라이트를 1:1:1(v:v:v) 비율로 혼합한 토양에서 포트 당 223.7개로 가장 많은 포자체가 형성되었다. 또한 형성된 포자체의 생육을 조사한 결과, 상기 토양에서 생체중, 엽수, 엽장, 엽폭, 근수, 근장 및 SPAD value 등의 생육수치가 우수하였다. 따라서 각시톱시네고사리의 전엽체 증식에 적합한 배지는 경제성과 생육수준을 고려하여 1/4MS 배지가 적합하며, 포자체 대량생산을 위해서는 원예상토, 피트모스, 펄라이트를 1:1:1(v:v:v)로 혼합한 토양이 적합하다고 판단되었다.

There was no significant difference in length and width of leaf and number of leaves per plant between tissue-cultured plants and conventionally propagated ones but chlorophyll content increased in tissue-cultured ones. Percent of sprouting from planted root segments significantly increased in tissue-cultured plants, resulting in yield increase of more than 200% per 10a. Root thickness of tissue-cultured plants at the time of planting influenced percent of sprouting and yield. Plants with root diameter ranging from 3 to 6mm gave good yield. When virus infection was monitored with N. tabacum and C. amaranticolor as indicator plants, 100% infection occurred in vegetatively propagated plants and introduced plants from China. whereas plants obtained from apical meristem showed 0% and 40% to 45% infection in vitro plantlets and 1 year old plants in vivo, respectively. Tobamovirus and unidentified virus particles were detected in electron microscopy.

This study was carried out to know the effect of air temperature on photosynthesis and growth of Korean Valerian (valeriana fauriei var. dasycarpa HARA). The results are as follows; 1. Photosynthesis of V fauriei had highly significant relation to temperature in a quadratic regression mo­del, from which the optimum temperature for the plant growth were estimated to be $17.7^{\circ}C$. During the day­time in the field condition, the photosynthesis rate was highest at 9 a.m, then reduced to minimum at 2 p.m., and increased again thereafter. 2. Number of stomata was about $25/mm^2$ on the upper side and $85/mm^2$ on the lower side of the leaf, and the size was $21{\sim}30/{\mu}m$ in diameter. 3. A highly significant quadratic regression was noted between temperature and leaf width or root weight of V. fauriei. It was estimated from the regression equation that the optimum temperature for root growth was $20.3^{\circ}C$.

The experiment has investigated the effects of growth, yield, and fruit quality of strawberries by three different kinds of substrates. Commonly used media cocopeat, cocopeat mixed with rice hulls and compound nursery media were used to select a proper medium by comparing growth status, yield and fruit quality. Number of leaves was most in cocopeat substrate, and leaf length and leaf width were highest in compound nursery media. Fruit weight was heaviest in compound nursery media, but there were no significant statistical differences in fruit length, fruit width and soluble solids of fruit. Number of fruits per plant was much in compound nursery media and cocopeat than cocopeat mixed with rice hulls. The most yield per plant was in compound nursery media and the least it was in cocopeat mixed with rice hulls. The results of this experiment will be utilized in the new substrate application for strawberry hydroponics.

This experiment was conducted to possibility for leaf production of wasabi using hydroponics system. When they were grown in aeroponics and soiless culture such as saprolite and Coir, photosynthesis and transpiration rate were high and marketable yield $(leaf\;width\;11{\sim}13cm)$ showed $11.2{\sim}11.7$ of leaf number per plant and $52{\sim}53.8g$ fresh weight. In spring periods, the highest yield was 25.7 of leaf number per plant in nutrient solution of Yamasaki's solution developed in Japan in deep culture during 130 days. It showed be possibility that marketable leaves harvested one leaf every $2{\sim}4$ days though spring and fall culture periods using hydroponics controlled in environmental culture.
