Current season's shoots on 2-year-old branches of 'Fuji' and 'Jonagold' apple trees were heading back pruned to 5 leaves from early May to mid July at about 12-day intervals. The summer heading back pruning induced regrowth on the pruned shoots with different responses between the two cultivars. Generally, greater regrowth occurred on the pruned shoots of 'Fuji' trees than on those of 'Jonagold', irrespective of the time of the heading cut. The shoots of 'Fuji' trees pruned in late May or in June exhibited greater regrowth compared with those pruned in early May or in July, whereas the summer heading back pruning in June resulted in the greatest regrowth for 'Jonagold'. The heading cut induced terminal flower bud formation on the pruned shoots, the percentage of which was higher in 'Fuji' than in 'Jonagold'. The highest percentages of terminal flower bud formation for 'Fuji' and 'Jonagold' were obtained with the heading cut in late May and in mid June, respectively. Percent flowering of the buds was similar in both cultivars, but percent fruit set was slightly higher in 'Fuji' than in 'Jonagold'. The time of the heading cut did not affect percent fruit set in both cultivars. Our results demonstrate that summer heading back pruning of current season's shoots induces regrowth and terminal flower bud formation therefrom when done at appropriate time, but the specific responses to the heading cut are cultivardependent.

Forest fire danger period in nine Provinces (Gangwondo, Kyonggido, Gyeongsangnamdo, Gyeongsangbukdo, Jeollanamdo, Jeollabukdo, Jejudo, Chungcheongnamdo, Chungcheongbukdo) has turned out to be similar to recognize whether there are some differences between each Provinces, we used correlation analysis with number of occurrence and damage area by an interval of ten-day period. Based on this analysis, there was significant numbers of occurrence at all areas wish serious burns except Gyeongsangnamdo and Jejudo Provinces. Since persuasive power is insufficient as danger period of forest fire applies equally to nine Provinces, statistical analysis using number of forest fire occurrence and burned area are executed. And then, a analysis of variance(ANOVA) test of significance by an interval of ten day period is carried out. As a result of this analysis, there showed significant at 1% level for number of occurrence except Jejudo, and is also showed significant at 1% level for burned area except Gangwondo and Chejudo. Through regional correlation analysis for danger period, we classified three parts of Middle region (Gangwondo, Kyonggido, Gyeongsangnamdo, Gyeongsangbukdo, Jeollabukdo, Chungcheongnamdo, Chungcheongbukdo) Southern region (Gyongsangnamdo, Jeollanamdo) and Jejudo region. With respect to forest fire occurrence time, Middle region showed from the middle of February to first of May that amounts to 81% of entire occurrence in this region, and Southern region begins with at the last of January to the middle of April covering 71%. In terms of forest fire burned areas, it appears at the middle of February to the first of May, occupying 98% in Middle region, and Southern region showed burned areas from the last of January to the middle of April amounting to 82% of total occurrences.

This study was conducted to investigate the seasonal occurrence of chestnut weevil, Curculio sikkimensis. The chestnuts infected by the weevils were collected from Gongju, Buyeo, and Cheongyang in Chungnam Province, Republic of Korea. Investigation was focus on the escape period of chestnut weevil larvae from the fruits, invading time and vertical distribution in soil, survival rates of larvae during overwintering, emergence period, emergence rate, and sex ratio and longevity of adults. For precocious species, larvae escaped the chestnut from the mid-September to the early-October, middle species and slow species, were escaped from the late-September to the mid-October and from the early-October to the mid-November. After escaping from the chestnut fruits all of the larvae burrowed into the soil within 35 minutes. Overwintering larvae inhabited in the range of $0{\sim}48cm$ from the soil surface and highly distributed in the range of $18{\sim}36cm$. The 74.1 % of wintering chamber were distributed within $18{\sim}36cm$ from the surface. Survival rates observed were 38.0% in 1st year, 16.0% in 2nd years, and 2% in 3rd years, respectively. Seasonal occurrence period of C. sikkimensis was from the early-Aug. to early-Oct. and the optimal occurrence period was the early and mid-Sept. Emergence rate decreased to 8.4% in 1st year, 3.6% in 2nd years, and 0.8% in 3rd years, respectively. Sex ratio was showed in the range of 0.51-0.55. It is female biased ratio. Longevity of adults was 9.9 days for female and 8.9 days for male.

This study was carried out to investigate on the formation of resin canal, tylosis and latewood of the major species growing in Chuncheon. Two species of softwoods (Pinus densiflora and Pinus koraiensis) and two species of hardwoods (Quercus mongolica and Robinia pseudoacacia) were used in this experiment. The resin canals of P. densiflora and P. koraiensis were formed from the beginning through the middle of July and in the beginning of May, respectively. It is clear that the resin canal of P. koraiensis was formed much earlier than that of P. densiflora. The tylosis in vessel of Q. mongolica was formed in the middle of May, and the formation in R. pseudoacacia was in the end of May. The latewood in P. densiflora was formed in the middle of August. The latewood in P. koraiensis was formed from the end of September through the beginning of October. While latewood vessels in Q. mongolica were formed in the end of May, and those in R. pseudoacacia from the beginning of June through the middle of June. Consequently, the period of resin canals, tyloses and latewood formation was different among the sample trees, even though the trees were grown under the same conditions.

국제기준(Codex)에 부합하는 유기농산물의 생산을 위해서는 저항성 품종의 유기종자 사용을 원칙으로 규정하고 있으나, 현재까지 우리나라의 경우는 찰옥수수 등 주요 식량작물에 대한 유기채종기술이 거의 전무한 실정이다. 본 연구는 찰옥수수 유기채종기술 확립을 위한 기초 자료로 이용하고자 찰옥수수 유기 채종에 따른 파종기별 생육 및 수량특성에 대하여 검토하였다. 유기종자 생산을 위한 채종시험은 홍천군 남면에 위치한 농가 유기포장에서 수행되었으며, 시험품종은 옥수수시험장에서 육성 보급되고 있는 미백2호 및 미흑찰 원종종자를 이용하였다. 파종기는 4월 16일, 5월 4일, 5월 27일 등 3처리로 구분하여 모 부본 동시파종 하였다. 재식밀도는 80${\times}$25cm로 하여 점파하였고 모 부본의 재식비율은 2:1로 웅주간파 하였다. 잡초방제는 흑색 P.E. Film으로 멀칭 재배하였고, 유기질비료는 H사에서 생산된 혼합유박비료를 전량 기비로 시용하였다. 파종기별 출사일수는 미백2호의 경우 4월 파종에서 79일로 가장 길었고, 파종 시기가 늦을수록 출사일수는 짧아지는 경향을 보였다. 미흑찰의 경우에는 미백2호의 결과와 같은 경향으로 파종시기가 늦을수록 출사일수가 빨라지는 경향을 보였으며, 간장 및 착수고 또한 미백2호와 미흑찰 모두 4월 파종에서 가장 높았고, 파종기가 늦을수록 낮아지는 경향이었다. 이삭특성에 있어서 이삭장과 착립장은 미백2호 및 미흑찰 모두 4월 중순 및 5월 상순 파종간에 큰 차이가 없었으나, 5월 하순 파종에서 현저하게 짧아지는 경향을 보였다. 발아율의 경우 미백2호는 4월 중순 및 5월 상순 파종에서, 미흑찰은 5월 상순 파종에서 높게 나타났다. 종실중과 100립중은 미백2호 및 미흑찰 모두 4월 중순과 5월 상순 파종간에 큰 차이가 없었고, 5월 하순 파종에서 현저하게 감소하였다. 10a당 채종수량은 미백2호의 경우 4월 상순 파종에서 217㎏으로 가장 높았고, 미흑찰은 5월 상순 파종에서 164kg/10a으로 가장 많았으며, 두 품종 모두 5월 하순 파종에서 채종수량의 뚜렷한 감소가 나타났다. 따라서 찰옥수수 유기종자의 안정적 채종과 정상수량 확보를 위해서 미백2호는 4월 중순 파종시에 그리고 미흑찰은 5월 상순 파종시에 채종 안전성이 가장 우수한 것으로 판단되었고, 또한 채종수량에 직접적으로 영향을 미치는 1개 이삭당 종실중과 100립중도 크게 증가하는 것으로 나타났다.

Despite of the same species there is a difference in the tree shape and its wood property due to quantitatiVe and qualitatiVe differences in wood cells by the intra-annual cambial actiVity. The purpose of this study was to proVide the fundamental database of intra-annual cambial seasonal actiVity for red pine in Sokwang-ri and Anmyondo for the determination of their wood qualities. As the results of intra-annual cambial actiVity, the initiation of cambial actiVity of red pine in the plots with Age Class V in Sokwang-ri was in the middle of April and it was at the beginning of April in all plots in Anmyondo. Only the plots with Age Class IX in Sokwang-ri showed relatiVely late initiation of cambial actiVity as between middle of May and middle of June. Except one plot with Age Class IX in Sokwang-ri all plots in both sites showed the same cessation of cambial actiVity as between middle and end of October. According to intra-annual cambial actiVity, the duration of cambial actiVity in Sokwang-ri is shorter than that of Anmyondo. On the other hand, the number of cell diVision of cambial actiVity in Sokwang-ri was more than those of Anmyondo. We could establish the database for intra-annual cambial actiVity for Sokwang-ri and Anmyondo to estimate their wood quality.

This text was experimented and investigated the optimum production time and germination characteristic of Fabaceae plant seed that collect in Korean Chungnam. Optimum time of seed production was early-mid October of Chamaecrista nomame, early November of Lespedeza cuneata and early-mid November of Lespedeza bicolor. Epiphytic amount of seed full ripe was the most times in early October of Chamaecrista nomame, early November of Lespedeza cuneata and Lespedeza bicolor, respectively. Seed rate of maturity was the highest times in early November of Chamaecrista nomame, mid November of Lespedeza cuneata and Lespedeza bicolor, respectively. Germination rate by seed collection time was the highest times in early October of Chamaecrista nomame (99.8%), mid November of Lespedeza cuneata (68.3%) and early November of Lespedeza bicolor (24.3%). Germination days by seed production time was the shortest times in mid October of Chamaecrista nomame, mid November of Lespedeza cuneata and Lespedeza bicolor, respectively. Optimum temperature of germination was $15{\sim}35^{\circ}C$ in Chamaecrista nomame, $25{\sim}30^{\circ}C$ in Lespedeza cuneata, and Lespedeza bicolor was difficult judgment of germination optimum temperature because of low germinating rate.

Flowering characteristics and optimal harvest time for seed of wasabi variety. Daruma, were investigated from Dec. 1995 to June 1996 in film house of Suwon. The number of peduncle was $10.2{\pm}2.29$ and most of the peduncle emerged between Jan. 20 and Feb. 10. Average peduncle length was $124{\pm}29.60cm$ and the peduncle grew most rapidly in the middle of march. Flowering started on Jan. 27 and lasted until June 4 with a peak at march 21 and flowering period was $99{\pm}21.32$ days. Flowers which bloomed later than the middle of March set seed but those bloomed earlier became sterile because days with minimum temperature below freezing occurred until the middle of March. Maturing period was $37.5{\pm}2.60$ days and total seed set was $43.2{\pm}8.77%$ in the natural culture condition. Optimal harvest time for seed was the last ten days of May and seed yield per $m^2$ was $79.0{\pm}19.94g%$(11,177 seeds).

Fruit borers such as Grapholita molesta, G. dimorpha and Carposina sasakii are major pests of plum in Korea. Population densities and seasonal occurrence were monitored using the synthetic sex pheromone trap in Uiseong and Gyeongsan, two important major plum growing area in Korea. In 2010 and 2011, adults of G. molesta were caught from mid April with the peak of late April, and then undergone three more generations in Gyeongsan. Grapholita dimorpha appeared from late April and they showed three peaks until late September. Both Grapholita species occurred a few days later in Uiseong than in Gyeongsan where the latitude is $1^{\circ}$ lower. There was no difference of the phenological occurrence of C. sasakii between Gyeongsan and Uiseong, showing the same patterns of two or three peaks. Population size was in order of G. molesta, G. dimorpha and C. sasakii with 63:16:20 and 47:35:18 in Gyeongsan and 51:18:31 and 46:13:36 in Uiseong, in 2010 and 2011 respectively. There was no difference between the numbers of Grapholita species caught in the trap installed inside and outside of the orchards.

This experiment was conducted to find out the effects of pinching on shoot growth, flowering and covering of Lonicera sempervirens growth in containers. 180 cm high pinching of plants increased shoot length compared to 60 cm low pinching and decreased lateral shoot numbers, but there was no difference in branch numbers by the pinching methods. Covering rates of the pergola were 85% with 60 cm low pinching, 74% with 120 cm middle pinching, and 62% with 180 cm high pinching. The pinched plants continued to flower from the middle of May to the middle of September. The first flowering time was in the middle of May in low pinching and in the early of June in middle and high pinching. The lower pinching height and the earlier pinching time induced earlier flowering time, and the peak flowering of pinched plants was in mid-August. To cover over 85% of the pergola screen with 3.0 m wide and 2.2 m high, two plants per 1 m needed to grow and to pinch at 60 cm height.
