This experiment was tried for finding out some soil chemical problems when new apple trees were replanted in old orchards. Soil samples were collected from the soil horizons in the old apple orchards cultivated over 40 years and reference soils. The non-cultivated reference soils were located near the old apple orchards and each of the soils was showed as the same pedon with each of the cultivated soils. The results were as follows : Soil pH showed a tendency to decrease in low horizons of the cultivated soils whereas increase in those of the uncultivated soils. As a comparision with each chemical component, the content of exchangeable Ca or total Mn was likely to be deficient in the cultivated soils. But all components except those were not like that. Total exchangeable cations in the cultivated soils were lower than in uncultivated soils. The pH in the cultivated soils showed very high positive correlation with total exchangeable cations. From those result, it was assumed that lower pH in lower horizon which would be originated from low content of total exchangeable cations, reacts as a factor for the deterioration of old apple orchard soil.

This study aimed to develop a new method of Lentinula edodes cultivation to reduce labor and waste disposal. To identify the optimum container for L. edodes cultivation, box, bottle, and bag containers were assessed for their effects on the cultural characteristics and mushroom yield. Among the three approaches, box-cultivation with 7 kg of substrate had the shortest browning period (42 days) and resulted in the highest mushroom yield (1,253 g). Contrastingly, bottle-cultivation was unsuitable for cultivation due to low production of the fruiting bodies and poor quality. Further studies on the box-cultivation approach will be required for commercial applications of L. edodes.

This study was conducted to select proper substrate and nutrient solution concentration for favorable growth and quality in common thyme (Thymus vulgaris L.). The growth of common thyme was better in deep flow culture (DFT) than in other substrate cultures. As the nutrient solution concentration rose, the ratio of dry matter increased, while the fresh weight and the number of lateral shoots decreased. The contents of total chlorophyll and vitamin C were higher in DFT than others. Ca, K, P were showed high contents in cocopeat, but Mg content was the highest at half-fold concentration in DFT. Common thyme showed low content of nitrate in DFT compared with that in other substrate culture. DFT was the most effective system for pronoting growth and quality of common thyme. The optimal concentration of nutrient solution in common thyme was half-fold(EC=1.2mS/cm) of herbs nutrient solution by European Vegetable R&D Center.

This experiment was conducted to find out the possibility of use of reused rockwool and comparison of growth, productivity and quality of tomatoes according to the use of rockwool and coir medium. The experiment was conducted in an automatic controlled greenhouse at Andong National University, College of Life Science, located in Andong, Gyeongsangbuk-do.. As a result of the experiment, there was no difference in the number of leaves, plant height, and leaf area between treatments, and the crown diameter was slightly higher in rockwool medium, also there was no difference between reused rockwool and coir medium. Fruit productivity showed different responses depending on the cultivation environment, but there was no significant difference between rockwool, reused rockwool and coir medium. In addition, the quality of fruit was observed to be different according to the concentration of EC in the medium. Therefore, in tomato hydroponic cultivation, there was no difference in the type of medium in growth, productivity, fruit quality and the environmental and water management had a great effect, and it is expected that the reuse of rockwool will have a positive effect on the economic point of view.

In order to shorten cultivation periods of Agrocybe cylindracea, liquid spawn was used in place of sawdust spawn. Optimum culture condition of liquid spawn was PSB (potato extract sugar broth) medium, $25^{\circ}C$ temperature and pH 7.0. And, optimum inoculum volume was $10{\sim}15ml$. Two grams per liter of dry weight of the fungal mycelia were obtained with 10l of culture bottle with liquid spawn after 10 days. In 850 ml-bottle of sawdust media, cultivation period using liquid spawn (30 days) was five days shorter compared with the cultivation period in sawdust spawn (35 days). Also, complete growth of sawdust media was increased to 92% (liquid spawn) from 75% (sawdust spawn) and yield of fruiting bodies was increased to about 10%.

Shiitake mushroom (Lentinula edodes) is usually cultivated on the oak log. Log cultivation of this mushroom is getting difficult to get oak logs and has a weak point of its long cultivation period. Recently sawdust cultivation is getting increase. It is important to make mycelia browning on the substrate surface. This browned surface in sawdust cultivation plays an important role like as artificial bark of the oak log, which protects the other pests and suppresses water evaporation in the substrate. The period for mycelia browning is so long that the sawdust cultivation of Shiitake mushroom can not spread well into the mushroom farms. The development of methods for the rapid mycelia browning is quite required. In this article we would like to find cultural characteristics of collected strains and to see the correlation with mycelial browning. Mycelial growth in the media was different according to kinds of media and strains. The optimal temperature on mycelial growth was $20-25^{\circ}C$. Browning patterns of mycelium under 200 Lux seemed to be used for a key to differentiate the strains for sawdust cultivation. Browning period was 30-40 days in the agar media and 70-100 days in the sawdust bag cultivation. When we considered the productivity and the other characteristics, ASI 3046 is the best for the bag cultivation. Significance between mycelial growth and browning was not accepted, but that of mycelial growth between on PDA and sawdust was accepted. Browning period on the PDA and sawdust showed a strong relationships. These results suggested that the browning habits could not be depend on the difference of media, but on their own properties. To select the strain showed fast browning can be done by using agar media for saving time.

This experiment aims to determine the proper irrigation scheduling based on a whole-substrate capacitance using a newly developed device (SCMD) by comparing with the integrated solar radiation automated irrigation system (ISR) and sap flow sensor automated irrigation system (SF) for the cultivation of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L. 'Hoyong' 'Super Doterang') during spring to winter season. For the SCMD system, irrigation was conducted every 10 minutes after the first irrigation was started until the first run-off was occurred, of which the substrate capacitance was considered to be 100%. When the capacitance threshold (CT) was reached to the target point, irrigation was re-conducted. After that, when the target drain volume (TDV) was occurred, the irrigation stopped. The irrigation volume per event for the SCMD was set to 50, 75, or 100 mL at CT 0.9 and TDV 100 mL during the spring to summer cultivation, and the CT was set to 0.65, 0.75, 0.80, or 0.90 in the winter cultivation. When the irrigation volume per event was set to 50, 75, or 100 mL, the irrigation frequency in a day was 39, 29, and 19, respectively, and the drain rate was 3.04, 9.25, and 20.18%, respectively. When the CT was set to 0.65, 0.75, or 0.90 in winter, the irrigation frequency was about 6, 7, 15 times, respectively and the drain rate was 9.9, 10.8, 35.3% respectively. The signal of stem sap flow at the beginning of irrigation starting time did not correspond to that of solar irradiance when the irrigation volume per event was set to 50 or 75 mL, compared to that of 100 mL. In winter cultivation, the stem sap flow rate and substrate volumetric water content at the CT 0.65 treatment were very low, while they were very high at CT 0.90 was high. All the integrated data suggest that the proper range of irrigation volume per event is from 75 to 100 mL under at CT 0.9 and TDV 100 mL during the spring to summer cultivation, and the proper CT seems to be higher than 0.75 and lower than 0.90 under at 75 mL of the irrigation volume per event and TDV 70 mL during the winter cultivation. It is going to be necessary to investigate the relationship between capacitance value and substrate volumetric water content by determining the correction coefficient.

This study was conducted to investigate the effect of closed cultivation and open cultivation method and substrate type on the nutrient ion change pattern and growth of sweet pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) 'Scirocco' according to the reuse of drainage in hydroponics. The sowing, transplanting, and application of the closed and open cultivation method were carried out on August 19 and September 16, and October 21, 2021, respectively. As a result of the analysis of nutrients in the drainage, Na⁺ and Cl^- are representative ions that crops do not absorb properly, and as the growth progresses, they are accumulated in the closed method. In addition, since the content of NH₄-N in the drainage is significantly lower than that of NO₃-N, it is thought that NH₄-N is preferentially absorbed rather than NO₃-N due to the ion selectivity of sweet pepper. The growth and fruit characteristics of sweet pepper did not differ significantly between treatments according to the drainage reuse and the type of substrate. In conclusion, if you take care of poor fruiting due to the weakening of power after the middle period in hydroponic cultivation of sweet pepper according to the cultivation method of closed and open, and the substrate type of coir and rock wool, the difference between treatments is not large, so the sweet pepper can be produced by selecting the cultivation methods and substrate types suitable for the conditions of grower. However, as interest in environmental pollution has recently increased, it is judged that there is no need to worry about a decrease in quantity or quality, even if a closed cultivation method is adopted under the assumption that pathogen infection due to drainage reuse is well managed. It is expected that if coir is applied instead of rock wool, which causes a problem of disposal, it will further contribute to the reduction of environmental pollution.

우리나라의 시설재배는 연중 고품질의 농산물을 요구하는 소비자의 기대와 생산자의 경제적 목적이 부합되어 재배면적이 증가하고 있으며 전체 시설재배면적의 31.3%는 수리시설이 완비된 관개논에 위치한다. 시설재배지에서의 수분관리는 작물의 안정적인 생산과 수자원의 효율적인 사용을 위하여 토양 특성을 고려하여 운영되어야 한다. 따라서 시설재배지 토양 특성을 반영한 작물근군역에서의 물수지와 수분거동 특성에 관한 연구가 선행되어야한다. 불포화토양에서의 수분이동은 토양-작물-대기의 연속계에서 수분의 공급과 증발산, 배수 및 유거에 의한 토양수분 장력의 변화로 이루어지며 토양수분과 토양수분 장력, 수리전도도와의 관계는 토양의 수리적 특성에 따라 상이하다. 실험을 통한 토양수분 거동 분석은 시간적, 비용적 측면에서 비효율적이므로 모형에 의한 분석이 요구된다. 본 연구에서는 불포화토양에서의 수분이동을 모의하기 위하여 Richards 공식을 유한차분법으로 해석하였으며 국내 논 시설재배지 이(異)층토양에 대하여 다양한 관개조건을 적용하여 토양수분 거동 특성을 분석하였다. 관개와 작물의 수분흡수가 지속됨에 따라 근군역을 이탈한 토양수분이 유하되어 밭 토양과 논 토양의 경계에 축적됨을 확인 하였으며 과다관개가 이루어질수록 이러한 현상이 심화되는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구의 결과는 관개시스템의 설계와 운영에 기초자료로 활용될 수 있다.
