Handling of the large quantity of oil, generation of heavy metals at the military blasting range and outworn facilities could cause the environmental accidents. Pollution levels of the former five U.S military bases located in Uijeongbu, Gyeonggi-do were measured. Soil contamination by TPH (Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons), BTEX (Benzene, Toluene, Ethylbenzene, Xylene), and heavy metals and groundwater contamination were detected. In order to purify contaminated soil, a variety of technologies including soil vapor extraction, slurping, landfarming and soil washing were applied. Contaminated soils of five target bases were purified and the results were suitable for the legal standards.

Production of Panax ginseng in Korea has been increased tremendously in the last two decades, the acreage and number of growers hating been spread across the country. Improvement of variety, on the other hand, has been seldom carried out during this period, rendering the ginseng growing risky and hazardous. Breeding work with such perennial crop as ginseng if rather time-consuming, and there are few genesources to start with. Authorities concerned with ginseng Production pay hwy little attention to breeding researches for nimbus of reasons. As this crop is cultivated over the entire area of Korea. Breeding work cannot be allowed to delay forth. In the precut article, improvement of ginseng was discussed from the view point of two different categories of brooding concept: (1) conventional breeding and (2) breeding based on the somatic tell genetics.

Principle of steam distillation has been successfully applied to the routine extraction of organochlorine pesticide residues from soil samples. Recovery of 8 organochlorine insecticides was found consistent and also comparable to that of conventional solvent extraction method. Recoveries of ${\alpha}-BHC$ and heptachlor was, however, rather poor at 47 and 45% respectively. The steam distillation method offers added advantages such as economy in time and costly solvents.

Landfarming that supplies aerobic biodegradation condition to indigenous microbes in soils is a biological remediation technology. In this research, volatilization and biodegradation rate by indigenous microbes in the soil contaminated with total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH) were measured. Soils were contaminated with diesel artificially and divided into two parts. One was sterilized by autoclave to remove indigenous microorganism and the other was used as it was. Various moisture contents and number of tillings were applied to the soil to find out proper condition to minimize volatilization and enhance bioremediation. Volatilization of TPH was inhibited and biodegradation was enhanced by increase on moisture content. Tilling was usually used to supply air for microbes, but tillings did not affect the growth of microbes in our study. Enough moisture content and proper aeration are important to control volatilization in landfarming. Also, TPH degradation was a function of the microbe counts (x₁), numbers of tilling (x₂), and moisture content (x₃) from the application of the response surface methodology. Statistical results showed the order of significance of the independent variables to be microbe counts > numbers of tilling > moisture content.

농업 분야에서 미생물은 영양분 가용화, 유기물 분해 등 토양 영양분 공급에 중요한 역할을 하며, 토양 건강성 증진, 식량 안보 및 식품 건강 면에서 많은 활용 가능성을 지니고 있다. 최근 유역 환경 건강성, 생물 다양성 보존, 효율적인 고품질 농산물 생산에 대한 관심이 커져, 지속 가능한 농업 중 하나인 유기농업과 관행농업 토양의 이화학적 및 생물학적 특성에 관한 비교 연구가 진행되고 있다. 미생물은 지속 가능한 농업 발전의 중요한 요소 중 하나로써, 미생물 다양성이 풍부할수록 토양 비옥도, 작물 성장 면에서 긍정적인 영향을 미친다고 알려져 있다. 본 연구는 이에 대한 기초 데이터를 제공하기 위해 논 경작지를 대상으로 유기 및 관행농업 토양의 미생물 군집조성과 Alpha diversity analysis(Chao1, Shannon, Simpson index)을 통해 비교하였다. 경기도 양평군에서 유기 및 관행 논 지역을 각각 1지점씩 선정하였으며, 8월부터 11월까지 총 4회 현장 조사를 진행하였다. 미생물 분석은 차세대염기서열분석을 실시하였으며, bacteria는 16S rRNA V3-4 영역, fungi는 ITS 3-4 영역을 sequencing 하였다. 미생물 군집조성은 문수준에서는 큰 차이가 없었으나, 속수준에서는 fungi 군집조성에 차이를 보였다. 예로 Ustilaginoidea 속은 관행 논 토양에서만 발견되었으며, 벼 이삭누룩병을 일으키는 병원균으로 과도한 질소 비료 시비가 원인으로 추정된다. 종 다양성은 bacteria diversity의 경우 관행 논 토양에서 높게 측정되는 반면, fungi diversity의 경우 유기 논 토양에서 높게 측정되었다. 결론적으로 체계적인 시비 관리 통해 미생물 군집은 조절될 수 있으며, 관행농업은 적절한 시비를 통해 토양 건강성 및 식품 건강성 면에서 유기농업과 비슷한 효과를 보여줄 가능성이 있다고 판단된다.

Chemical properties of the soils were surveyed in the field of vinyl houses concentrated in the area of Bunpyong-dong and Shinchon-dong of Cheongju, Chilgeum-dong of Chungju and Gageum-myeon of Jungweon-gun. Chungcheongbuk-do province. 1. Content of chemical component of the soil in the vinyl house was higher than in open field. In more than half of the vinyl house soils surveyed, electric conductivity was more than 4.0 mmhos/cm and available phosphate was more than 1,000ppm. 2. Contents of availble phosphate and exchangeable potassium were increased with years of cultivation and their content of accumulation in soil were in the order of Bunpyong-dong>Shinchon-dong>Gageum-myeon>Chilgeum-dong. While their mobility was comparatively low. 3. $NO_3$-N content was remarkably higher in vinyl house soil and the older in cultivation made $NO_3$-N content higher same as the case of available phosphate content. However easy leaching of $NO_3$-N through soil profile is expected due to the fact that $NO_3$-N content was rapidly decreased by removal of polyethylene film cover from the frame of house after harvest of crops. 4. It is a tendency that various chemical contents of vinyl house soils wer higher in 1992 than in 1988~1990, especially much higher from the area of Bunpyong-dong and Shinchon-dong of Cheongju. 5. Salt accumulation in vinyl house soil has been increased with continuing cultivation. Therefore amount of fertilizer application should be controlled in order to avoid salt toxicity, quality deterioration for crop and salt contamination of ground water.

Agricultural soil samples collected from 121 sites (plastic film house 59, up-land 30 and orchard 32 sites) were evaluated by steam distillation and GLC-ECD analysis for organochlorine pesticides (${\gamma}-BHC$, heptachlor, p,p'-DDE, dieldrin, p,p'-DDD, and p,p'-DDT) in Jeollanam-Do area. Total residues of organochlorine pesticide in orchard, plastic film house and up-land were 0.415, 0.234 and 0.156ppm, respectively. Ninety-four percent of total residue was p,p'-DDT and its homologues (p,p'-DDE and p,p'-DDD). ${\gamma}-BHC$ was detected in all soil samples at $trace{\sim}0.050ppm$ range. Residue levels of organochlorine pesticide increased in the order of p,p'-DDE, ${\gamma}-BHC$, heptachlor, dieldrin, p,p'-DDT and p,p'-DDD.

The landfarming treatment for the remediation of the petroleum contaminated soil at the returned U.S. Military bases was investigated in this study. Specifically, the bioaugmentation performance using various commercially available petroleum-degrading bacteria was evaluated and the directions for enhancing the performance of the landfarming treatment were suggested. The environmental factors of the soils at the returned U.S. Military bases chosen for remediation indicate that the landfarming treatment can be used as the remediation technique; however, the addition of nitrogen or phosphorus is required. The lab-scale landfarming treatment tests using the model soil and the site soil showed that the degradation efficiency was greater with the model soil than the site soil and that the treatment performance was not affected by the number of bacteria present in the soil in the range of $10^6-10^{12}$ CFU/g. These results suggest that the successful landfarming treatment depends on the petroleum degradability of bacteria used and the environmental conditions during the treatment rather than the number of petroleum-degrading bacteria used.

Investigation on the surface charge properties of some Korean arable soils was performed by ion adsorption technique with two kinds of indifferent ion ($Na^+$ and $K^+$) at the range of pH 3 to 9 in bulk solution. The contribution of soil components(organic matter, oxides and clay mineral) on the surface charge density was determined at two soil depth with different solid particle composition When the pH of solution increased, the negative charge of soil surface was increased among the all soils, but positive charge were not appeared above pH 6. apparently. The magnitude of surface charge density measured by NaCl adsorption method showed ra nges of $0.01{\sim}2.84cmol_c{\cdot}kg^{-1}$ and $7.41{\sim}12.20cmol_c{\cdot}kg^{-1}$ at pH 3 and pH 9, respectively. Ion adsorption method using KCl as index ion overestimated than the method using NaCl as index ion. The content of organic matter is the strongest factor on the value of dCEC/dpH.
