Seed-propagation of Solomon's seal (Polygonatum odoratum) takes 2 years to shorten the period for becoming a practical method. The experiment was done to establish a proper method of breaking the epicotyl dormancy in bulk seed-propagation. Seedlings with a bulbil were treated with $GA_3$ every 2 days for 4 or 8 days and chilling treatments at $3^{\circ}C$ were enforced for 4, 6, 8 or 12 weeks. Emergence- and growth-related characteristics were examined immediately after the treatments, 3 and 6 weeks later. Rate of cotyledonary sheath rupture immediately after $GA_3$ treatment was greater in its 8-day treatment than in 4-day although its effect disappeared later. However, any epicotyl treated with $GA_3$ solution did not elongate so that new seedlings disemerged over the bed soil. That resulted from not breaking the epicotyl dormancy since $GA_3$ did not rupture all of the cotyledonary sheath formed with several sheets and consequently, the solution did not reach it. The $GA_3$ treatment for bulk seed-propagation, therefore, was impractical method. On the contrary, the chilling treatment was able to be applied to the seed-propagation because of getting the cotyledonary sheath rupture and the epicotyl elongation. Seedling emergence and its growth after chilling treatment were influenced by chilling period although required at least over 6-week treatment for satisfactory results.

본 연구는 7~10월에 백색 꽃이 개화하는 화훼류인 너도개미자리[Minuartia laricina (L.) Mattf.]를 지피용 관상식물로 활용하기 위한 재배방법을 개발하기 위하여 수행되었다. 유용식물증식센터에서 종자를 분양 받아 2019년 4월 19일에 트레이에 파종하여 충북대학교 유리온실에서 육묘한 유묘를 7월 4일에 정식하여 실험재료로 사용하였으며, 9월 24일까지 약 11주 동안 재배하였다. 식재 용기에 따른 너도개미자리의 생육을 알아보기 위하여 비닐 포트 2, 3, 4치를 이용하였다. 토양 실험은 단용토로 원예상토를 사용하였으며, 혼용토는 마사토와 중화 피트모스를 2:1, 3:1 비율로 혼합한 후 토양 9L당 퇴비 1L를 첨가하였다. 묘 소질에 관한 실험은 파종립수(1, 2, 4, 6립)와 파종용기(162, 200, 288구 트레이)를 각기 달리하여 육묘한 유묘를 정식한 후 생육을 비교하였다. 대조구는 비닐 포트 3치에 원예상토를 충진하고, 200구 트레이에 1립씩 파종하여 생산된 1셀을 정식하였다. 연구의 결과, 식재 용기에 따른 너도개미자리의 생육은 4치 비닐 포트에서 가장 효과적이었다. 그러나 경제적 측면을 고려하면, 개화율이 양호하였던 3치 포트를 이용하는 것도 고려해볼만한 것으로 판단된다. 토양 종류별로는 원예상토에서 생육이 가장 양호하였다. 그러나 너도개미자리는 배수가 잘되는 산지에 자생하는 것으로 알려져 있어, 생육이 비교적 양호한 결과를 보인 마사토와 피트모스를 3:1로 혼합한 토양에서 재배하는 것도 이용가치가 높을 것으로 생각된다. 파종 립수에 따른 너도개미자리의 개체당 생육은 셀당 파종된 립수가 적을수록 왕성하였으며, 1립과 2립 파종묘가 우수하였다. 2립 파종묘의 포트당 생체중이 가장 무거운 결과를 보였으며, 4립과 6립 파종묘는 개체당 생육이 크게 억제되어 2립 파종묘에 비해 저조하였다. 파종 용기에 따른 생육은 육묘에 사용된 용기의 크기가 클수록 정식 후 모든 생육이 왕성하였으며, 162구에서 생산한 묘가 가장 우수하였다. 한편 개화율은 200구 생산 묘가 가장 높았으며, 생육이 가장 왕성하였던 162구 생산 묘는 왕성한 생육으로 인해 개화가 비교적 지연되는 경향이었다. 결론적으로 너도개미자리의 재배는 4치 비닐 포트에 원예상토를 충진하여 200구 트레이에 셀당 2립 파종하여 생산된 유묘를 정식하는 것이 지피용 재배에 가장 효과적인 것으로 생각된다. 경제적인 측면을 고려할 때 3치 비닐 포트에 마사토와 피트모스를 3:1로 혼합한 토양을 이용하는 것도 효율적일 것으로 생각된다.

This experiment was conducted to find out an effective propagation method for reed(Phragmites communis Trin.), ensuring a continuous herbicide screening for reed control. Reed propagation methods were compared under a greenhouse condition using tour different materials; seeds, rhizomes, depressed stolons of P. japonica Steud., and stem cuttings. Although reed seeds were easy to harvest and store, their germination rate(${\leq}$5%) was very low and seedling growth from the seeds was slow. Rhizomes were difficult to harvest and their harvest time was limited from November to March. Furthermore, reed propagation using rhizomes had problems of a relatively low germination rate(46%), no uniformity in size and shape, individual differences at the early stage of growth, and difficulties in material storage. Rate of reed growth from rhizomes was higher in commercial soil mix(Boo Nong soil) than in sand or in sand+upland soil(1:1). Depressed stolons of P. japonica had a moderate germination rate(65%) and were relatively easy to harvest. However, their harvest time was limited only from August to September. Propagation method using stem cuttings had several advantages over the above methods using other materials. Reed plants could uniformly be propagated from the stem cuttings with a relatively high germination rate(75%). Stem cuttings of central nodes showed a higher germination rate compared to those of upper or lower nodes. Stem cuttings from the field should be used immediately after harvest, since their germination rate decreased rapidly when they were stored under a wet- or a dry-refrigerated condition. Furthermore, the germination of stem cuttings tended to decrease when they were collected from the field after August. This indicates that there is a limitation of harvest time for stem cuttings. However, a year-round propagation of reed using stem cuttings is possible if parent plants are grown in a greenhouse, and thus herbicide screening for reed control could continuously be performed.

This study was carried out to investigate the possibility of double cropping of safflower(Carthamus tinctotious L.) in vinyl house for rainshield culture. Planting methods, i.e., direct seeding as the first crop and direct seeding and transplanting as the second crop, were investigated. Growth characters and establishment were better in the first crop than in the second crop. Between direct seeding and transplanting of the second crop, growth was not significantly different, but establishment was much higher in direct seeding than in transplanting. Seed yield of the second crop was lower $30\~74\%$ than that of the first crop. In planting methods of the second crop, seed yield was higher in direct seeding than in transplanting. Therefore, optimum method of the second crop for double cropping of safflower in the middle parts of Korea was estimated as direct seeding.

One of the big obstacles to cultivate asparagus was long days taking before first harvesting. This study was carried out to hasten the first harvesting of summer planted asparagus in Jeju. Seedlings were raised for three months and planted June 20th in green house. Harvesting of Spring were separated into non-harvested (control) and harvested (partly-harvesting, completely-harvesting). The first year we could harvest $399kg{\sim}400kg/10a$ in harvesting treatment. Second year's yield was 834kg/10a in partly-harvesting, 825kg/10a in completely-harvesting treatment and 908kg/10a in control. There is no significant difference in second years yield regardless of first year's harvesting methods. The accumulated total yield was increased by 35% (l,229kg/10a) in harvesting treatment from the first spring compared with the control. Marketable yield was increased by 33% (1,116kg/10a) compared with non harvesting in first year (839kg/10a). The result of this study shows that doing harvest of the first year's spring in summer planting asparagus would be desirable for yield and possible to harvest after 8 months planting.

The purpose of this study was to determine which fermented liquid fertilizer and application method yields the greatest amount of growth in red pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) and tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum MILL.) plants. Additionally, we investigated which extraction methods produce the most effective fertilizer with the highest levels of mineral nutrients. The liquid fertilizers used in this study were made from fish, bone and fish meal, red pepper leaves, and oil cake, and were extracted using fermentation or water and boiled water. In tomato plants, foliar-application of fermented fertilizer is known to promote more growth than application by drenching, regardless of the number of treatments (once or twice). In our studies, however, drenching with fertilizer promoted growth more effectively than foliar-application in red pepper plants. Studies in both tomato and red pepper have shown that the number of treatments does not significantly alter growth. Liquid fertilizers produced by a fermentation-extraction method promoted greater levels of growth in tomato compared to red pepper, and growth was greater when fertilizers were applied 20 (rather than 40) days post-sowing. Red pepper and tomato shoot fresh weight were affected more by fermented fertilizers than plant height 20 days post-sowing. In red pepper, we observed increased shoot fresh weight when using fermented liquid fertilizers with concentrations of 0.1% or greater. Tomato shoot fresh weight increased similarly in response to fermented fertilizer treatments at the same concentration levels, except those derived from fish. Fermented fish liquid fertilizer was only effective in increasing tomato shoot fresh weight in concentrations exceeding 1%. Red pepper and tomato shoot fresh weight also increased more than plant height in our studies using fermentation liquid fertilizers at 40 days after sowing. Red pepper fresh weight increased with application of bone + fish meal, red pepper leaf, and oil cake fertilizers at concentrations of 0.1%, but not with fish liquid fertilizer in concentrations under 0.5%. Shoot fresh weight in tomato increased with all liquid fertilizers. Growth in red pepper and tomato may be influenced by different kinds of fertilizers due to combinations of macro- and micro-nutrients, or specific macro-nutrients such as nitrogen, phosphoric acid, and potassium. The mineral nutrients found in fish, bone and fish meal, red pepper leaves, and oil cake were not easily extracted by fermentation; thus, liquid fertilizers made using water and boiled water methods more effectively promoted growth in red pepper and tomato due to the larger amounts of macronutrients eluted.

The rice variety, Kwanok, was reared in the water, land and salty beds and transplanted to the reclaimed soil area having an average of 0.48% salt concentration 0.67% at the end of April Two levels of $NH_3$-N and urea-N with 6 treatments were used. The effect of each treatment was observed. The plant height of the land bed seedlings at transplanting stage was short but the dry-weight/plant-height ratio was large, and the rooting ability vigorous remarkably after transplantation in the salty area. The total carbohydrate content of the stem part was markedly larger in the land bed seedlings than the others and the C/N ratio was accordingly greater. This tendency was observed through the last rooting stage. In the salty nutrient solution, the roots of salty bed seedlings showed high respiratory activity. The activity of the land bed seedlings did not decreased in the hypertonic solution as much as the water bed seedlings. There was no difference in the effect of fertilization on the rough rice yield between ammonium sulphate and urea. The cultural practices with the land and salty bed seedlings increased the rough rice yields by 33% and 22% respectively, compared with the yields of the water bed Seedlings. The number of panicles, panicle weight and the number of grains per panicle were much greater from the rice plant grown by the land bed seedlings than from the other bed seedlings.

This study was carried out to investigate the role of attached leaflet on rooting and growth by one nodal cutting in tomato. As cutting sources 4 to 6 nodes could be obtained from one nursery seedling. Medium for cutting was a mixture with perlite plus peat moss (1 : 1, v/v), and each plug capacity was 30mL in the 72 cells-plug tray. Plant height and the number of leaves were significantly increased by attached leaflet cutting in 'Pepe' and 'Coco' cherry tomato. Dry weights of top and root were increased as much as 3 to 15 times in the cutting attached leaflet. Rooting percentage was 93.5% in one node cutting and 86% in the cutting with hypocotyl node part. At 20 to 24 days after nodal cutting, healthy nursery plant could be produced to transplant in field. The nursery plants by nodal cutting (NPNC) showed more fibrous roots and less tap roots than that of seedling. In terms of rooting pattern, NPNC rooted at the whole ground stem part, while rooting of seedling occurred at basal part of hypocotyl.

This study intends to examine the influence of foliage treatment and seed treatment on the suppression of the succulent growth of tomato seedlings, and further, to clarify the proper way of suppressing the succulent growth of tomatoes. For the foliage treatment, the time and the concentration of diniconazol treatment were considered, and for the seed treatment, the soaking time was considered. As a result of examining the stem elongation of tomatoes based on the time and the concentration of diniconazol treatment, suppression of stem elongation and internodal length was found in step 1, 2, and 3. Plants absorb more quantity of a chemical when they are young, so a good chemical effect was found. In step 1, the number of suppressed nodes was 4, which was decreased to 3 in step 2 and to 2 in step 3. As a result of examining the influence of chemical tenacity on stem elongation, $5\;mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ in step 1 and 2 showed the suppression of stem elongation after chemical treatment, but it became recovered fast after a particular time, compared with others. In step 3, the period of stem elongation suppression was short and they were recovered fast. In step 1, the effect of chemical tenacity was found for 5 weeks, but in step 2 and 3, it lasted for 4 weeks respectively. After raising seedlings was finished, they got planted and the quantity of living bodies increased fast so there was no significant difference in breeding from non-treatment.

This experiment was conducted to investigate the effect of the automatic control of night temperature and day length on the flower bud initiation growth responses and yield of strawberries. Flower bud initiation was observed only 14 days after treatment in plants forced with automatic system but not in plants forced with traditional methods, and flower bud development was further progressed by an automatic system. In genernal, the crown diameter of runner plants derived from strawberries grown with the automatic system was smaller than those from the plants grown under hand-operated system and this tendency was clear in plants placed at middle and low position during forcing. The rate of transpiration was higher in plants treated with hand operated method but the content of chlorophyll was lower than those treated with the automatic system. Results indicated that automatic system has an advantage in stimulation of flower bud initiation and improving the quility of runner plants.
