The objective of this study was to investigate characteristics of inorganic components contained in liquid fertilizer produced using fish meal under different condition. Addition of dry yeast to liquid fertilizer resulted in considerable change in pH and electrical conductivity(EC) value compared to other liquid fertilizers which have microorganisms additives. In addition, it was appeared that the dry yeast-added treatment had higher $NH_4-N$ concentration than other treatments. Addition of molasses resulted in low pH compared to the control which has no additives. The EC, concentration $NH_4-N$ and $P_2O_5$ were not significant difference according to addition of molasses. The pH and $NH_4-N$ concentration in liquid fertilizer containing 20% of fish meal was highest after fermentation process, and EC value increased as the content of fish meal increase. When Cucumber was cultivated using liquid fertilizer, there was no difference in growth between fish meal liquid fertilizer treatment and chemical fertilizers treatment. However, there was a difference in yield according to the supply amount of nitrogen during the growing season.

This study was conducted to evaluate weed control effect in organic soybean upland field as affected by cover crops including rye, hairyvetch, and its mixture. The experiment was conducted during two years (2015 and 2016) at the NAS (National Institute of Agricultural Sciences) organic farming experimental field. The cover crops were seeded after tillage at fall crop season in 2014, and then, the soybean field was managed with no tillage system from 2015. The weed suppression rates of cover crops application for rye and mixture (rye+hairyvetch) treatment during 60 days after transplanting were 80% and 30%, respectively. However, weed suppression rate of hairyvetch treatment was not significantly different as compared to control. Weed flora in experimental field were less than general soybean field. The average organic soybean yield was generally low compare to normal year, nevertheless, the soybean yield for rye and mixture treatment in 2016 were significantly higher than PE mulching treatment.

We conducted a survey of actual using conditions of farm-made liquid fertilizers by investigating their formulation types, materials, making processes, using methods and various beneficial effects on 29 farms certified by National Agricultural Products Quality Management Service to produce environment-friendly agricultural products in 2009. Most of the materials used to make liquid fertilizers are those that can be easily obtained around the farms. Molasses or black sugar are added as an energy source of microorganism. And leaf mold, bacterial cultures supplied by agricultural extension centers of local governments, and cultures of native microorganisms were used as microbial sources for fermenting effective microorganisms. Types of the farm-made liquid fertilizers were fermented liquid fertilizers, fermented plant juices, amino acid liquid fertilizers, calcium-liquid fertilizers, and phosphoric acid liquid fertilizers. Effects of liquid fertilizers used by the farms were found to promote plant growth by supplying nutrition, to accelerate blooming and flower bud formation, to enhance the quality of agricultural products such as increase of sugar contents and improvement of storing conditions, to induce resistance against diseases and insect pests, and to cause endurance to high temperature stress. Chemical properties of the liquid fertilizers collected were analyzed. As a result, pH and EC range showed differences according to kinds of the liquid fertilizers. Amount of macro-nutrients, such as nitrogen and phosphoric acid, in most of the collected liquid fertilizers, was found to be low. Even though the liquid fertilizers were made from same materials, their contents was found to be different depending on the making process.

The summer production of sweet pepper in Korea which cultured in the highland area such as Hapchon is essential for a year-round export, but has the problem, fruits lose easily those marketability. This study was carried out to find changes of fruit quality in response to storage on sweet pepper cultivars in summer. Seven cultivars of sweet peppers, 'Jubilee', 'Plenty', 'Goal', 'Romeca', 'Derby', 'Midas' and 'Maximalia' were obtained iron growers in Hapchon which was highland of 600-800m from sea level and stored at $10^{\circ}C$ with box packing. Fruit quality was evaluated every 4days up to 4weeks. The weight loss of 'Jubilee' was the lowest, that of 'Romeca' was the highest. The firmness of 'Goal' was maintained highly for 4weeks and the red cultivars was higher than those of other color cultivars. The lightness of 'Jubilee' was sensitively affected by storage duration. Seeds of 'Plenty' and 'Derby' were plentifully browned after 4weeks storage. The occurrence of fruit rotting was after 16-204ay storage and those of 'Plenty' and 'Maximalia' were the earliest. The marketability of 'Jubilee' and 'Romeca' maintained by 70% for 16 days was the highest, but most cultivars lost those by 20% after 24days storage. It may be suggested that the marketability of sweet pepper producted in summer can be stored at $10^{\circ}C$ for 2weeks to maintain that of 80%.

BACKGROUND: This study was conducted to investigate growth and yield of organically grown rice under a typhoon during a fall. The treatments included NPK chemical fertilizer, compost, oilcake, oilcake 2X, hairyvetch, and vetch+rye. METHODS AND RESULTS: Nutrient applications were made at rates equivalent to approximately 0.9 kg of actual N per acre. Oilcake and hairyvetch treatments had the lowest C:N ratio, but compost had the highest C:N ratio of 34:1. Rice treated by organic nutrient sources had great growth and development at the beginning of the growing season but had depressed growth and yield at the harvest. Oilcake 2X-treated rice in early growing season, especially, showed better growth and development than rice treated by other nutrient sources but was severely lodged at the harvest season due to the typhoon. Compost treatment with high C:N ratio slowly released inorganic N and produced poor rice growth and yield; however, it recued rice lodging. N uptake was the greatest for the oilcake 2X and vetch+rye treatments but the lowest for the compost, which was the similar pattern to the N use efficiency; the greatest and lowest N use efficiency was observed for the oilcake 2X (55%) and compost (5%), respectively. CONCLUSION(s): Rice lodging should be prevented by reducing the excessive nitrogen supplement, resulting from the lower C:N ratio of the organic materials as well as prevented by the radical midsummer drainage. Vetch+rye treatment with 25:1 of C:N had optimum vegetative growth and reduced rice lodging, which increased N use efficiency and yield.

This paper presents the ERRI design diagrams of KTX and HEMU applicable to simply supported single span bridges, and analyzes the dynamic characteristics and design considerations of the bridges under KTX and HEMU using the diagrams. The design diagrams of KTX and HEMU are calculated for the bridges with 25m, 30m, 35m and 40m span lengths, which are widely used for simple bridge in Korea. From the design diagrams, the dynamic characteristics of the bridges with the selected span lengths are analyzed. In addition, the design consideration is discussed to satisfy the design requirement of acceleration. It is desirable for the bridge with 25m span length to avoid resonance both for KTX and HEMU. Since larger responses are expected for HEMU in the bridge with 30m span length, and for KTX in the bridge with 35m and 40m span length, the bridges should be planned to have enough mass satifying acceleration requirement at resonance, or to avoid the resonance.

This study investigated the quality characteristics of sponge cakes with addition of paprika powders prepared from different cultivars. Powders from the special cultivar(FDFP: freeze dried fiesta paprika powder) and the fiesta cultivar(FDFP: freeze dried fiesta paprika powder) were used. The specific gravities, viscosities, heights, specific volumes, colors, textures and sensory evaluations of cake dough containing 2, 4 and 6%(all w/w) paprika powders were measured. Specific gravity and viscosity tended to increase on addition of paprika powder. Cake height and specific volume tended to decrease on addition of paprika powder. Substitution of paprika powder for flour also resulted in decreased yellowness and lightness, and increased redness, of the cake crust. The hardness of cakes containing paprika powders was higher than that of control cakes without paprika powders. Thecolor of the cake crust became darker as the amount of paprika powder increased. The results of sensory evaluation by quantitative descriptive analysis showed that the overall acceptability of sponge cakes containing 4% paprika powder, from either cultivar, was higher than that of control cakes without paprika powder.

Up to date, the majority research on the major landscape elements in organic farming has been mainly focused on the practice of seeking efficiency. The problem is that this type of study contributes to polluting the agricultural environment and damaging the ecological circulation system. As an alternative, there is a growing body of research on organic farming, but it is not widely applied that research on how to manage the landscape considering the scenic characteristics of farming villages practicing organic farming. Therefore, this study was carried out in the conservative aspects of rural landscapes in order to effectively manage the landscape of organic agriculture and, intended to be used to maintain and preserve natural and ecologically harmonious landscapes by deriving management methods suitable for landscape elements targeting the major landscape elements of the organic farming complex. To carry out, this study performed the experts survey which is composed of 13 major landscape elements, including rice paddies and fields, monoculture and diverse crops, dirt roads, windbreak trees, accent planting, dum-bung(small pond), natural small river, natural waterways, plastic film houses, one-storied houses, and pavilion. As a result, Farm land was formed in a square shape, concentrated in an independent space, planted companion plants around the crop, and covered with plants to manage the borders. As for the surrounding environment, it was analyzed that the aspart road system circulating through the village, the evergreen broad-leaved windbreak forest around the cultivated land, and the accent plant located at the entrance of the village were suitable. The hydrological environment consists of Round small pond made of stone in an open space, natural rivers around the village, and natural channels around the farmland, and The Major facilities are suitable for greenhouses that are shielded by plants in independent regions, and wooden duck houses located inside the cultivation area are suitable and The settlement facilities were analyzed to be suitable for single-story brick houses located in independent residential areas, pavilion located with greenery in the center of the village, and educational spaces shielded with wood from arable land. If supplementary evaluation criteria suitable for the management of organic farming landscape are additionally supplemented based on the results derived from this study, It is expected to enhance the landscape value of ecologically superior organic farming.
