This paper has examined the origin of organic fanning, its development stages, its certification program, and its distributional characteristics in South Korea. Organic agriculture in South Korea originated in the late 1970s as several organic farmers' associations started to be formed. However, the certification of organic farm products, based upon the Codex guideline on organic produce as well as the FAO/WHO find standards, was not institutionalized with the year 2001. A majority of organic products are currently certified as farm products grown with low chemical input. Vegetables grown without any chemical input occupy the largest proportion of the certified produce, while fruits take the smallest. The average size of farms practicing organic agriculture is 0.88 hectare, smaller than the scale of conventional farms being 1.39 hectare. These organic farms are concentrated in Gyeonggi, Chungcheongbuk, and Jeju Province, where organic farmers' associations were first founded. The roles of those associations not only in developing and extending organic farming techniques but also in promoting organic agriculture to consumers were most critical in the regional development of organic farming. It would be desirable for local governments to promote organic farming in tandem with a whole environmental movement.

지구온난화에 대한 우려가 커지면서 농업분야에도 저탄소 녹색성장에 대한 필요성이 대두되고 친환경 유기 농산물에 대한 관심이 높아지고 있다. 이에 따라 화학비료 대신 녹비작물을 심어 잡초발생을 억제하는 새로운 농업기법이 확대되고 있다. 농촌진흥청에서는 녹비작물을 피복한 논에서 별도의 경운작업 없이 이앙할 부분만 경운과 동시에 이앙할 수 있는 부분경운이앙기를 개발하였다.

In this study, the securing state of nationally indicated beneficial microbial resources was evaluated in an aspect of bio-diversity using their taxonomical information. Depending on the analysis result with the Margalef's richness or the Mehinick's index which are representative bio-diversity analytical indices, species diversity values was revealed as 8.537, 3.546 within bacterial resources, 3.349, 2.167 within fungal resources. Several developed or researched beneficial strains and spoilage microbes showed relative taxonomical relationship with comparation of their biological information. As a result, we propose the necessity or countermeasure method for preventing the microbial spoilage with the overhauling consideration of advanced research on agricultural microbiology covering crop endophyte beneficial/spoilage microorganisms.

This study was performed to investigate the recognition of Korean farmers for the safety of environment-friendly organic materials (EFOMs). The main purchase line of environment-friendly organic materials was the sustainable agriculture organizations, and decisive basis for the materials purchase was because they thought that agricultural produce cultivated with EFOMs were safe. Currently farmers obtained the most information about EFOMs through farmer's education operated by agricultural technology center. Sixty nine percent of respondents hoped that they would get the information on the website and through official education opened by of the government or relative institutions. Whereas, only a few respondents hoped that they would get the information from the sellers. Therefore we thought that government and related institutions should operate the education program to give the sellers the scientific and accurate information about EFOMs. In addition, farmers are highly recognized the necessity of safety-related information provided by government and related institutions. Most Farmers thought that safety education for farmers using EFOMs was very important. Also, it was confirmed that farmer respondents thought to need to establish the shelf-life and user guideline and to label about toxic category of EFOMs. The Cronbach' alpha coefficient calculated in order to verify the reliability of survey questions was 0.699. That value indicates that responses of the respondents in this study might be reliable.

잡곡은 현대인이 걸리기 쉬운 고혈압, 당뇨, 비만, 고지혈증 등의 생활습관병 예방에 좋은 건강기능성 물질을 풍부하게 함유하고 있어 오늘날 웰빙작물로 각광받고 있다. 그리하여 지난 몇 년간 국내에서 잡곡의 수요와 소비가 크게 증가함에 따라 전국적으로 잡곡 재배단지를 조성하여 잡곡의 안정생산을 위해 많은 노력을 기울이고 있다. 하지만 잡곡재배가 단지화 및 규모화 됨에 따라 지금까지 문제되지 않았던 병해충의 발생이 심화되어 이들을 효과적으로 관리할 수 있는 기술개발의 필요성이 높아졌다. 특히 잡곡의 수량과 품질에 크게 영향을 미치는 나방류, 노린재류, 풍데이류 등의 해충을 친환경적으로 관리하여 잡곡을 안전하게 생산하는 기술은 국산잡곡의 가격경쟁력 제고와 소비자의 신뢰 확보를 위해 매우 중요하다.

전국의 블루베리 재배면적이 매년 급속하게 증가되고 있는 가운데 올해도 1,800ha까지 확대될 것이라는 전망이 나오고 있다. 이러한 관측은 빠르면 올해 6월 미국산 블루베리 생과가 수입될 수 있는 국내 시장 여건에서도 블루베리에 대한 농가의 관심이 지속적으로 높아지고 있다는 것을 의미한다.

일반적으로 식물은 생장 중에 많은 양의 생체 방어 물질이 자체적으로 생성되지만, 건실한 성장 후에 생체 방어 물질은 급격하게 소멸되거나 감소한다. 이에 식물체에 저농도 자외선(Ultraviolet(UV) Radiation)을 처리하면 스트레스 또는 DNA의 손상이 유도되며 이에 대응하여 식물체는 항상성(Homeoslasis)을 유지하기 위한 긍적적인 변화를 일으킨다. 농촌진흥청에서는 마늘에 저농도 자외선을 처리해 저장성 기능성 성분을 높이는 기술을 개발했다.

고추냉이는 식욕증진, 항산화 기능성, 항곰팡이성 등 건강을 위한 기능성 성분을 함유하고 있어 식용 또는 가공을 통한 활용 가능성이 무한한 작물이다. 그러나 재배적지가 제한적이며 재배기술 또한 계류식 물재배 및 밭 재배 방식에 국한되어 있다. 또한 자연환경에 민감한 고추냉이는 국내 생산량이 미흡하고 잎, 줄기 등과 같은 부산물의 이용은 극히 제한적이다. 따라서 '고추냉이 추출물의 농업적 이용 및 수경 재배 기술' 개발과제를 통하여 고추냉이 부산물의 활용 방법을 높이고 재배방식의 한계점 극복을 통한 재배면적 확장 기술을 개발하고자 하였다.

For effective control of insect pest which can outbreak in a field during crop cultivation, various control agents such as eco-friendly agricultural materials (EFAM) including microbial control agents and chemical pesticides have been applied at fields and these control agents may be treated simultaneous or sequential in the same field to suppress diverse pests and diseases. The agents may influence each other and control efficacy may also differ from interactions. Therefore we need to test compatibility of microbial control agents with other agricultural agents. In this study, we investigated influence of pre-treated EFAMs, which are registered for whitefly control in greenhouse, on germination, mycelial growth and control efficacy of Isaria javanica isolate against sweet potato whitefly. The results showed that a mixture of paraffin oil+cinnamon oil among 4 EFAMs highly reduced germination ($8.9{\pm}1.3%{\sim}24.5{\pm}0.9%$) and mycelial growth ($0.81{\pm}0.01cm{\sim}0cm$) of I. javanica. To investigate the effects of the treatment interval between EFAMs and I. javanica on sweet potato whitefly control, four different EFAMs were pre-treated 0, 1, 4, and 7 days before applying I. javanica. Pre-treatment of four EFAMs inhibited insecticidal activity of I. javanica against sweet potato whitefly. Therefore when EFAMs and a mycopesticide using I. javanica spray simultaneous or sequential, application of EFAMs need more than 7 days interval after treatment of mycopesticide at field.

The cultivation area of rice as staple grains is decreasing in the domestic situation in Korea. Import volume of a duty in foreign rice is 409,000 tons for a year regardless increasing of production per unit area and decreasing of rice consumption. The total stock of rice is increasing cumulatively despite the effort for production mediation of rice. Therefore, maintenance of cultivation area and reduction of production are necessary for national foodstuffs security problems. Development of environment-friendly and low-carbon technology as alternative of global warming and aging of farm labor power is very important responsibility for descendants with creation of sustainable agriculture environment. As alternative for demand and supply stabilization of rice from all angles, first stage: extension of environment-friendly cultivation area as 17% Jeollanam-do level with maintenance of cultivation area under the present circumstances, second stage: extension of environment-friendly cultivation area as 25%, third stage: extension of environment-friendly cultivation area as 35%. From above mentioned scenario, reduction of rice production (60,000 tons), increases of production cost (59,200,000,000 Won), and reduction of income (201,500,000,000 Won) are estimated in first stage. Reduction of rice production (90,000 tons), increases of production cost (122,100,000,000 Won), and reduction of income (313,700,000,000 Won) are estimated in second stage. Reduction of rice production (380,000 tons), increases of production cost (222,000,000,000 Won), and reduction of income (464,500,000,000 Won) are estimated in third stage. From analysis results for partial tillage in transplanting cultivation complex (10ha), rice production is decreased 1.3~1.5 ton by complex. Production cost of rice is decreased and increases of income cultivation type. Gradual extension of environment-friendly agriculture and low-carbon partial tillage could be expected for environment maintenance of the territorial integrity, confidence of consumer, and high-efficiency of low-cost.
