A drone is used to diagnose crop growth and to provide information through images in the agriculture field. In the case of using high spatial resolution drone images, growth information for each object can be produced. However, accurate object detection is required and adjacent objects should be efficiently classified. The purpose of this study is to develop a Chinese cabbage object detection algorithm using multispectral reflectance images observed from drone and computer vision techniques. Drone images were captured between 7 and 15 days after planting a Chinese cabbage from 2018 to 2020 years. The thresholds of object detection algorithm were set based on 2019 year, and the algorithm was evaluated based on images in 2018 and 2019 years. The vegetation area was classified using the characteristics of spectral reflectance. Then, morphology techniques such as dilatation, erosion, and image segmentation by considering the size of the object were applied to improve the object detection accuracy in the vegetation area. The precision of the developed object detection algorithm was over 95.19%, and the recall and accuracy were over 95.4% and 93.68%, respectively. The F1-Score of the algorithm was over 0.967 for 2 years. The location information about the center of the Chinese cabbage object extracted using the developed algorithm will be used as data to provide decision-making information during the growing season of crops.

This study was conducted to elucidate the effect of after-ripening of gourd fruits before seed collection. Five varieties of commercial gourd varieties were cultivated and the fruits were picked after 24, 31, 50, and 70 days from pollination. For after-ripening treatments the fruits were placed for five days in a cool, air-circulated place while a number of fruits were placed for longer periods to 85 days including growing period, 24 + 62 days, 31 + 55 days, 50 + 35 days, and 70 + 15 days. The seeds collected from fruits harvested on 24^th day were not emerged at all, but the seeds from after-ripening treatment for 62 days showed 78% emergence or higher. The growth of seedlings showed the effects of after-ripening treatment of the fruits before seed collection; the seeds collected after ripening treatment showed better hypocotyl growth and larger embryo size than the non-treated seeds.

최근 농촌진흥청과 기상청에서 발표한 연구자료에 따르면 2020년 기준으로 국내 경지면적의 10% 가량이 이미 아열대 기후대에 속하고 있을 뿐 현재 추세대로 온실가스가 배출될 경우 2100년경 우리나라의 대부분 지역은 아열대 기후대에 속하게 될 것으로 전망되고 있다. 이에 국가 기관뿐만 아니라 많은 지자체에서 기후변화에 대응하여 아열대 작물을 도입하기 위한 시도를 활발하게 추진하고 있다. 아열대 작물 중 국내에서 3번째로 많이 활용되고 있는 삼채는 기능성 물질을 다량으로 함유하고 있어 수요도가 지속적으로 증가하고 있다. 하지만, 삼채의 경우 일반적인 원예 작물과는 달리 실생 종자를 상업적으로 이용하고 있어 종자들의 발아율이 균일하지 못할 뿐만 아니라 발아율이 낮은 문제가 있는 것으로 보고되고 있다. 이에 삼채의 경우 농가에서 정식 시기를 맞추기 어려울 뿐만 아니라 대규모 생산을 위한 공정육묘 시스템의 적용이 어려운 상황에 있다. 종자 프라이밍 기술은 잠재적으로 종자 발아와 식물 생장을 빠르고 균일하게 해줄 수 있는 방법으로 알려져 있지만, 현재 삼채에서는 프라이밍 처리가 종자 발아에 미치는 영향에 대해서 검토한 사례가 없다. 따라서 본 연구는 삼채의 파종 효율을 증진시키기 위한 목적으로 몇 가지 프라이밍 처리 방법이 삼채의 발아특성에 미치는 영향을 검정하고자 하였다. 삼채 종자는 (주)아람종묘사의 종자를 구매하여 강릉원주대학교 생명과학대학에서 수행하였다. 프라이밍 처리는 Hydropriming은 증류수, Osmopriming은 CaCl2 1.0%, Halopriming은 Polyrthylene glycol 6000(PEG) 13.5%의 3가지를 사용하였으며, 각 프라이밍 처리 시간은 6시간, 12시간, 18시간, 24시간, 48시간 총 5가지 방법으로 처리되어 대조구를 포함 총 16개의 처리를 하였다. 프라이밍 처리 된 종자는 페트리디쉬 (50mm)에 30립씩 치상하였다. 프라이밍 각 처리구별 4반복으로 하였으며 24시간 암(Black), 온도 20℃의 조직배양실에서 치상 후 10일간 조사하였다. 본 실험 결과 대조구는 38% 발아율을 가졌으며, 프라이밍 처리 시간에 따른 각 처리구들은 대조구에 비해 발아율이 높아짐을 확인할 수 있었다. 그 중 Hydropriming 12시간 발아율 51%, Osmopriming 18시간 발아율 68%, Halopriming 48시간 발아율 65%로 각 프라이밍 처리구별 가장 좋은 발아율을 확인할 수 있었다. 결론적으로 삼채에서 프라이밍 처리 기술의 적용은 발아율의 향상과 발아기간의 정형화를 유도할 수 있어 농가에서의 일반 육묘는 물론이고 대규모 공정육묘를 위한 저렴하고 안전한 방법 중 하나로써 이용될 수 있을 것으로 기대되어 진다.

The onion moth, Acrolepiopsis sapporensis, was monitored in the farms cultivating the welsh onion, Allium fistulosum, using sex pheromone from transplantation to harvest. Two occurrence peaks were observed at early June and late July after the overwintering population. However, the population sizes were varied among different years and the cultivating environments. To effectively control A. sapporensis with microbial pesticides, different Bacillus thuringiensis strains were screened to select B. thuringiensis kurstaki (BtK). To enhance the insecticidal virulence of BtK, the culture broth of Photorhabdus temperata temperata (Ptt) was added to the BtK. This mixture of two entomopathogenic bacteria was called 'BtPlus', which was superior to BtK alone in the insecticidal virulence. The enhanced virulence was explained by the immunosuppressive activity of the secondary metabolites contained in the Ptt extract. The metabolites inhibited both cellular and humoral immune responses of A. sapporensis, resulting in the enhanced virulence of BtK. These results suggest that A. sapporensis occurs in the welsh onion fields and the resulting economic damage would be effectively prevented by BtPlus application.

Thrips infest hot peppers (Capsicum annuum) cultivating in open fields and give serious economic damages. This study reports their yearly occurrence from transplanting to harvest at three different places in Andong, an intense hot pepper-cultivating area. Two main occurrence peaks were detected in June and September. Two dominant thrips were the flower flowers, Frankliniella occidentalis and F. intonsa, which comprised of over 87% of the total occurring thrips. Other thrips did not follow the occurrence peaks of the two dominant species. Tomato spotted wilt virus (TSWV) was detected from the dominant two species, in which higher viruliferous rate was recorded in F. intonsa. Although the hot peppers were the resistant varieties against TSWV, some of them cultivating in the fields exhibited a characteristic disease symptom infected by the virus over the growing seasons. TSWV was isolated from the viruliferous thrips and assessed in NSs sequences encoded in S RNA segment of the virus. Compared to the known resistance breaking (RB) strains, the TSWV isolated from the viruliferous thrips in Andong did not show any RB mutations.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the changes of environmental conditions and the quality and yield of melon fruit by heat fan operation in greenhouses at winter season. The average daily temperature inside the tunnels during January 1 to 31, 2017 was $0.9^{\circ}C$ higher than that of the control $17.8^{\circ}C$. The air flow rate of heater fan treatment was 4.8 times higher than the control (untreated $0.05m{\cdot}s^{-1}$) at 20cm above the ground where the korean melon grew. The temperature of the heater pan was $5.6^{\circ}C$ higher than that of the untreated at $35.3^{\circ}C$ and the relative humidity was 8.1% lower than that of the untreated at 39.1%. The flowering rate of the heater fan treatment was 96%, 5% higher than the control. The number of first harvest days of heater fan treatment was shortened by 4 days than that of untreated treatment. Fruit quality and marketable fruit yield increased by 3.4% and 38% compared to untreated respectively, the heater fan treatment increased the temperature inside the greenhouse and air flow rete, which were beneficial for growing the korean melon in greenhouses at winter season.

We investigated the prolongation of freshness and quality during storage of muskmelons harvested at different times and treated with 1-MCP. The weight loss rate increased in all samples as the storage period was extended, although the weight loss of 1-MCP-treated samples was lower than that of controls, regardless of the degree of maturation. Additionally, the hardness of 1-MCP-treated samples was higher than that of controls, again independent of maturation stage. Specifically, 1-MCP treatment delayed softening of muskmelons, as 1-MCP- treated samples showed a high hardness value after 22 days of storage, whereas hardness of control samples decreased rapidly after 10 days. The soluble solid level in muskmelons harvested 92 days after planting was $14.3^{\circ}$ Brix, whereas that of fruit harvested after 90 days was $12.7^{\circ}$ Brix. There was no significant difference in the acidity of 1-MCP-treated samples and controls after 7 days of storage, although the acidity of 1-MCP-treated fruit was greater than that of controls after 13 days, regardless of the degree of maturation. The L-values (lightness) of 1-MCP treated samples were higher than those of controls for the first 10 days of storage, but the reverse was true after 13 days of storage. The b-values (yellowness) were high in control fruits during the initial period of storage, but greater in 1-MCP treated samples after 19 days of storage. The respiration rate of 1-MCP treated samples was lower than that of controls, regardless of the degree of maturation. Sensory evaluation revealed that the texture of control fruit decreased as storage time rose, whereas that of 1-MCP-treated samples did not fall until 28 or 34 days of storage (p<0.05). Overall acceptability based on a marketable score of 5 points showed that 1-MCP-treated muskmelons scored higher than controls, and remained fresher on storage.

The measurement of total fresh weight of plants provides an essential indicator of crop growth for monitoring production. To measure fresh weight without damaging the vegetation, image-based methods have been developed, but they have limitations. In addition, the total plant fresh weight is difficult to measure directly in hydroponic cultivation systems because of the amount of nutrient solution. This study aimed to develop a real-time, precise method to measure the total fresh weight of Romaine lettuce (Lactuca sativa L. cv. Asia Heuk Romaine) with growth stage in a plant factory using a nutrient film technique. The total weight of the channel, amount of residual nutrient solution in the channel, and fresh shoot and root weights of the plants were measured every 7 days after transplanting. The initial weight of the channel during nutrient solution supply (Wi) and its weight change per second just after the nutrient solution supply stopped were also measured. When no more draining occurred, the final weight of the channel (Ws) and the amount of residual nutrient solution in the channel were measured. The time constant (${\tau}$) was calculated by considering the transient values of Wi and Ws. The relationship of Wi, Ws, ${\tau}$, and fresh weight was quantitatively analyzed. After the nutrient solution supply stopped, the change in the channel weight exponentially decreased. The nutrient solution in the channel slowly drained as the root weight in the channel increased. Large differences were observed between the actual fresh weight of the plant and the predicted value because the channel included residual nutrient solution. These differences were difficult to predict with growth stage but a model with the time constant showed the highest accuracy. The real-time fresh weight could be calculated from Wi, Ws, and ${\tau}$ with growth stage.

Strip tiller equipment was developed to reduce soil erosion in the slope land for highland agricultural area. The equipment consisted of 4 rows strip tillage device and fertilizer applicator. The field was tilled in 10 cm width and in 10 cm depth by the equipment, of which tilled surface was 16.7% of full-width tillage. The working time and fuel consumption of the equipment were $3.8hours\;ha^{-1}$ and $24.4L\;ha^{-1}$ respectively, which were 59% and 74% less than those of the conventional tillage. Fertilizer efficiency of the equipment in cultivation of Chinese cabbage was 1.7, 1.6 and 1.5 times higher in nitrate, phosphorous and potassium respectively, than conventional tillage. When the equipment was used after covering of rye residue, the quantity of runoff was 49~67% lower than the conventional tillage. And the quantity of soil loss were 1.3 and $0.2Mg\;ha^{-1}$ at right after and 30 days after planting of Chinese cabbage respectively, while 11.5 and $4.1Mg\;ha^{-1}$ in conventional tillage. In conclusion, the strip tillage equipment developed in this study can be applicable to slope land, so that soil loss of 90% can be reduced.
