This study was conducted to determine the minimal processing characteristics as affected by the storage duration of whole Asian pears(Pyrus pyrifolia Nakai cv. Niitaka). Before and after storage for 4 months under air at 0$^{\circ}C$, whole pears were sliced, placed in unsealed plastic bags, and kept for 4 days at 10$^{\circ}C$. Storage of whole pears increased the initial levels of electrolyte leakage, total phenols and browning index and decreased the initial content of vitamin C in pear slices. Slices from stored pears maintained higher respiration rate compared with slices from non-stored pears during keeping. The increase of electrolyte leakage, browning index and microbial number and the decrease of total phenol in slices during keeping were more fast in slices from stored pears than in those from non-stored pears. These results suggest that the minimal processing characteristics of ‘Niitaka’ pears are depending upon storage duration.

This study was conducted to determine the influences of winter and summer pruning on the yield and fruit quality in southern highbush blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum L. hybrid) cv. 'Misty'. The 5-year-old southern highbush blueberry 'Misty' were used. The pruning treatments were as follows: 1) control (no pruning), 2) winter pruning (30% removed), and 3) winter pruning + summer pruning (Aug. 5). Fruits harvested for six times over the harvest season and measured yields, unmarketable fruit (defected and immature fruit), changes of each fruit weight and analyzed fruit characteristics, such as total sugar, total anthocyanin contents and total phenolic contents. The differential pruning treatments were not significant for fruit yields of southern highbush 'Misty'. No pruning treatment showed regular yields after the 2nd harvest, but the other pruning treatments were appeared that fruit yields were more concentrated on the 2nd~4th harvest time. Total sugar and total phenolic contents were observed the highest at the 4th time among the harvest period. No pruning treatment showed the highest unmarketable fruit yield at 57%, however, that of winter pruning and winter + summer pruning treatment occurred at 26%, 31%, respectively.

다래(Actinidia arguta (Siebold & Zucc.) Planch. ex Miq.)의 재배에서 현재 많이 이용되고 있는 평덕형은 기존의 T덕형에 비해 가지의 배치가 자유롭고 수확량이 많은 장점이 있다. 평덕형을 활용한 다래 재배에서 결과모지의 전정 길이에 대한 연구는 미흡한 실정이며, T덕형과 마찬가지로 15cm 길이의 단초전정이 권장되어 있다. 본 연구에서는 평덕형에서 품종별로 수확량을 증대하면서 과실 품질을 향상시킬 수 있는 적정한 결과모지 길이를 결정하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 과실 특성이 다른 '오텀센스'와 '대보' 품종을 이용하여 결과모지가 30, 50, 100, 150 및 200cm 길이가 되도록 전정하고, 수확기인 9월에 수확량 및 열매 특성을 조사하였다. 평덕형의 경우 품종과 결과모지 전정길이에 따라서 가지수, 결과지의 수, 총 착과 수, 열매무게 및 총 수확량에서 유의적인 차이를 보였다. 두 품종 모두 150cm로 결과모지를 전정하였을 때 결과모지당 착과 수가 각각 129±71개 및 27±8개로 가장 좋았으며, 총 수확량 역시 각각 1,697.0±990.4g 및 849.0±243.2g으로 가장 좋았다. '오텀센스'와 '대보' 품종은 평덕재배시 결과모지를 150cm로 전정하는 것이 생산량 증대 및 품질 특성이 우수한 것으로 나타났다.

In this study, the availability of slurry composting and biofiltration (SCB) solution as an alternative for synthetic nutrient solution was determined by monitoring the growth, fruit yield, and fruit quality of cherry tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L. 'Unicon'). Treatments for nutrient solution were consist of SCB 1/2N, 1N, 2N, and commercial nutrient solution 1N (CNS 1N) based on nitrogen concentration (218.32 $mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$) of cherry tomato nutrient solution (control 1N). All nutrient solution including SCB solution (440~520 mL per day) was supplied to rock wool medium using a timer. After 31 days of transplanting, fresh and dry weights of shoots, leaf area, plant height, stem diameter, SPAD value and number of node were measured. After measuring growth characteristics of tomato plants, total fruit yield, ratio of marketable fruit yield, fruit weight, total soluble solids content, total acidity, total phenolic concentration, and antioxidant capacity were determined once a week for 7 weeks. As a result, among the SCB treatments, SCB 1/2N was similar to control 1N and CNS 1N in terms of fresh and dry weights of shoots, leaf area, stem diameter, number of node, and SPAD value. Increased N concentration of SCB inhibited the growth of tomato plants. Total fruit yield of SCB 1/2N was 47% of that of control 1N which showed the best result. Percentage of marketable fruit yield in SCB 1/2N was about 58%. Soluble solids contents, total acidity, total phenolic concentration and antioxidant capacity was the highest in SCB 2N and the other treatments were not shown any difference. Blossom-end rot rarely occurred in control 1N and CNS 1N while SCB treatments without Ca induced the physiological disorder of 7~19%. In conclusion, SCB 1/2N was good for the vegetative growth of cherry tomato plants but reduced yield and quality of fruit compared with control 1N and CNS 1N. Thus, it is possible to apply SCB solution to grow cherry tomato plants hydroponically but in the consideration of fruits yield and quality additional supply of several minerals would be required.

Fermented compost made from medicinal herb wastes (MHWC) as an environment-friendly manure resource was applied to determine physiological activities of Rubus coreanus Miquel (Bokbunja). MHWC, poultry manure compost (PMC), and MHWC+PMC (1:1, w/w) were applied to 2 year-old Bokbunja plant at levels of 0, 20, 40 Mg/ha, respectively. Physiological activities of Bokbunja were investigated at 15, 20 and 25 days after flowering (DAF). Content of total phenolics in fruit was high in order of 25 > 20 > 15 DAF, showing highest value in fruit treated with MHWC at 40 Mg/ha. The flavonoid level showed same pattern to total phenolics. Electron donation abilities at fruits at 15 and 20 DAF were higher than at 25 DAF. Nitrite scavenging ability (NSA) was increased on in order of pH 1.2 > 4.2 > 6.0. NSA in fruit at 15 and 20 DAF was higher than at 25 DAF. Tyrosinase inhibition ability at fruits treated with MHWC showed the highest value among all composts. Xanthine oxidase inhibition ability in fruit treated with MHWC at 25 DAF was the highest. In conclusion, physiological activities of Rubus coreanus Miquel (Bokbunja) were improved in MHWC group.

The residue levels of flonicamid and its metabolites, 4-(trifluoromethyl)nicotinic acid (TFNA) and N-4-(trifluoromethyl)nicotinoyl glycine (TFNG) in sweer pepper were investigated to examine the residual characteristics of analytes for 87 days after pesticide application. The pesticide was applied once at recommended dosage and double dosage by foliar sprays and the samples of fruits and leaves of sweet pepper were collected for each treatment. The residues of flonicamid in all of fruits and leaves decreased gradually over time, while the residue levels of TFNG metabolite exhibited tendency that increased for long periods and thereafter decreased. Total flonicamid residual concentrations containing metabolites residues in fruit samples increased consistently until 30 days post-application and higher residue levels than residues at 1 day post-application were detected from 30 day to 87 day after treatment. The residue pattern observed in fruit could be explained by the movement of TFNG from leaves to fruits of plant. Such residual characteristic was similarly found in samples treated both recommended dosage and double dosage.

Shrub growth and fruit characteristics and working time of 'Duke' blueberry by shrub distance were investigated. Overapping rate of blueberry crown was 109% in 0.6 m shrub distance, 37% in 1.2 m shrub distance, and -88% in 2.4 m shrub distance, respectively. The number of main stem tended to increase as the shrub spacing widened. The other fruit characteristics, except for the fruit weight, did not show any significantly different according to the shrub distance. The yield per 10 a was 2,097 kg for 0.6 m shrub distance, 1,303 kg for 1.2 m shrub distance, and 710.7 kg for 2.4 m shrub distance in 2019, respectively. Total working time was 154 hr for 0.6 m shrub distance, 114 hr for 1.2 m shrub distance, and 74 hr for 2.4 m shrub distance. Therefore, the blueberry shrub distance was judged to be appropriate about 1.2 m in the long-termly. However, in order to increase yield early and income, the shrub can maintain 0.6 m distance during young shrub, it can managed flexibly to 1.2 m distance when it becomes a mature shrub.

This study was carried out to establish proper irrigation standards by growth stages using integrated solar radiation (ISR) for strawberry hydroponics cultivation. The irrigation methods were automatically controlled when it reached ISR values based on the external solar irradiance. The ISR standards were set at 150 J·cm^-2 and 200 J·cm^-2, and as the last treatment, ISR value was changed from 200 J·cm^-2 to 150 J·cm^-2 according to growth stage. The timer-automated irrigation system was applied as a control. The monthly average irrigation frequency of 150 J·cm^-2, growth stages (150 J·cm^-2) treatment in March were 5.6 times, that of 200 J·cm^-2, growth stages (200 J·cm^-2) treatment in December were 2.7 times, and that of timer system was 3.6-3.8 times. The water use efficiency (WUE) of timer was 19.8 g·L^-1 lower than ISR. There was no significant difference in growth and fruit characteristics between ISR and timer. The total yield and rate of marketable fruit of treatments by growth stages was the highest 328 g/10 a and 85.3 %, respectively. Therefore, in case of strawberry hydroponic cultivation, controlling ISR by growth stages was more helpful to improve yield rather than applying same ISR standard during cultivation.

This experiment was conducted to observe the changes of $CO_2$ production, firmness and lipid components of tomato fruits at the temperature of $15^{\circ}C,\;20^{\circ}C\;and\;25^{\circ}C$ each. The phenomenon of climacteric rise appeared first at $25^{\circ}C$. The firmness of tomato fruits during storage were decreased rapidly under $25^{\circ}C$ but slowly under $15^{\circ}C$. The total lipid contents of tomato fruits were decreased under $15^{\circ}C\;and\;20^{\circ}C$ until the middle stage of storage but were increased rapidly at $15^{\circ}C$ from 30 to 40 days in storage. Various changes were not observed at the neutral lipid contents of tomato fruits. But. glycolipid and phospholipid contents were increased. The results which were observed the composite fatty acid of each lipid components were a lot of palmitic acid as a saturated fatty acid and linoleic acid. linolenic acid and oleic acid as an unsaturaturad fatty acid at the all fractions which were neutral lipid, glycolipid and phospholipid. The ratios of saturated fatty acid to unsaturated fatty acid of tomato fruits during storage were generally increased at the fraction of neutral lipid. tended to decrease at the fraction of glycolipid and were almost constant at the fraction of phospholipid.
