In an effort to determine the effect of the physiological function of phosphorus in higher plants, soybean have been used as samples in an attempt to compare them with rice on which there have been a number of reports of research. The absorptive and metabolic process phosphorus in each separate manuring period has been studied. It has iefluenced enhancement of vitality in the plants whether manuring is conducted earlier or later. These phenomena have greatly concerned with the absorption and transference of phosphorus in the process of growth are done more slowly than those of nitrogen and phosphorus from stems and leaves to pods.

Manuring has been classified into five stages to study the absorbtive and metabolic process of potassium in the period of growth of soybeans. The contents in harvest time have not shown much difference regardless of earlier or later manuring. But in the testing period of comparatively earlier manuring, supply of potassium has precipitated the synthesizing of carbohydrates, and in the testing period of comparatively later manuring, decrease of not only soluble sugar, but also soluble nitrogen and protein-nitrogen has been discoverd thus resulting in the existence of connection between supply of potassium and nitrogen metabolism.

In an effort to elucidate degradation mechanisms of an acetanilide herbicide, Butachlor, by soil microorganisms, a common soil fungus, Chaetomium globosum which is known to be powerful was selected and incubated in a Butachlor-contained medium. The results obtained from the resulting metabolites are as follows: (1) Dechlorination from Butachlor occurred very easily, remaining almost constant after 180 hrs. of incubation. (2) More than 10 metabolites were isolated and characterized, of which the metabolites, m/e 205, 177, 223, 182, and 206 were the main products. (3) In this paper, the structures and pathways of formation of metabolites, m/e 206, 182, 223, 225, and 189 were tentatively proposed.

These studies were carried out to investigate the effects of rice straw on microflora in relation to the decomposition of organic matter, and the rate of rice straw decomposition. The number of total bacteria was increased in the first stage, and the number of microorganisms in upper layer was generally larger than lower layer. The number of fungi tended to decline as rice plant grew. Aerobacter among cellulose decomposition bacteria decreased with time, and the number of microorganisms in lower layer was higher than upper layer. The number of glucose decomposition bacteria and sulfate reducing bacteria increased in the submerged soil to which rice straw was applied, but decreased by percolation. the change of manganese oxidizing bacteria seemed not to be affected by rice straw application while they tend to increase as the rice plant grew. The aspect of microorganisms in the percolated water was same that of lower layer, but the number was low as much $10^{-1}$ during the whole stages. The decomposition rate of rice straw applied to submerged soil was about 40 per cent during the rice grew. The decomposition rate of cellulose contained rice straw was about 30 per cent, and lignin was about 60 per cent. The 70-80 per cent of nitrogen remained in the rice straw applied to soil.

The amounts of $^{14}CO_2$ evolved during the $^{14}C-bentazon$ aging in soil for 3 and 6 months were 6.1 and 14.8% of the original radioactivity, respectively. The presence of earthworms in soil tended to increase the uptake of $^{14}C-bentazon$ by the roots of rice plants, even if it was not statistically significant. The evolution of $^{14}CO_2$ from $^{14}C-bentazon$ in soil increased in the presence of rice plants and earthworms compared with in the absence of them. The uptake of $^{14}C-bentazon$ residues by rice plants decreased remarkably with increasing the aging period within the limit of 3 months both in the absence and presence of earthworms, but there is not much difference between 3-month-aging and 6-month-aging. Much larger amounts of $^{14}C-labelled$ compounds were translocated to the shoots, compared with the data from a previous investigation using maize plants. The amount of non-extractable bound residue increased remarkably with the aging period up to 3 months. The polarity of the compounds extracted from soil increased with the aging and the growing of rice plants, indicating the formation of some polar metabolites.

In heavily industrialized areas, soil sites are contaminated with high concentrations of heavy metals. These pollutants are highly accumulated to the human body through the food web and cause serious diseases. To remove heavy metals from the soil, a potential strategy is the environmental friendly and cost effective phytoremediation. For the enhancement of remediation efficiency, the symbiotic interaction between the plant and plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) has been attended. In this review, the interaction of the plant and PGPR in the heavy metal-contaminated soil has been reviewed. The physicochemical and biological characteristics of the rhlzosphere can influence directly or indirectly on the biomass, activity and population structure of the rhizobacteria. The root exudates are offered to the soil microbes as useful carbon sources and growth factors, so the growth and metabolism of rhizobacteria can be promoted. PGPR have many roles to lower the level of growth-inhibiting stress ethylene within the plant, and also to provide iron and phosphorus from the soil to plant, and to produce phytohormone such as indole acetic acid. The plant with PGPR can grow better in the heavy metal contaminated soil. Therefore higher efficiency of the phytoremediation will be expected by the application of the PGPR.

Experiments were carried out with purified technical grade and two types of impregnated and sand-coated granules of carbofuran, in order to investigate the release patterns in water and the persistence of this chemical in soils. The results obtained are summarized as follows: 1) As regards to release velocity in water, impregnated granule was found to be faster than sand-coated granule. The time to reach maximum concentrations of carbofuran in water from technical carbofuran, impregnated granule and sand-coated granule was 0.5, 3 and 5 days, respectively. 2) Degradation rate of carbofuran in soils decreased in the order of technical carbofuran, impregnated granule, sand-coated granule regardless of soil types and application rates. Degradation of carbofuran in flooded soil was faster than in non-flooded soil. Soil flooding appeared to be the main factor in promoting the degradation of carbofuran in the soil. 3) When carbofuran was fortified in soils in the form of technical carbofuran, impregnated granule or sand-coated granule, the persistencies of two terminal residues of carbofuran, that is, 3-hydroxy carbofuran and 3-keto carbofuran decreased in the order of sand-coated granule, impregnated granule and technical form.

This study was carried out to investigate the influence of spa sewage on water quality and chemical contents in the paddy soil along stream from 1997 to 1998. Concentration of $PO_4, SO_4, Cl, NH_{4}, Ca, Na$ and COD in the spa sewage were lower than standard for agricultural usage, and were lowered as the sewage flew to the into stream. The concentration of $SO_4$in spa sewage was over the criteria for agricultural usage in the inlet, but was lower than criteria for agricultural usage by inlet of non polluted stream water. Concentration of pollutants in the sediment of water channel were the highest in the inlet site. There were no pollutants accumulation in the paddy soil where spa sewage was irrigated. It may be resulted from nutrients uptake of rice plant and self purification of paddy soil. On the while, considering electric conductivity and nitrate in spa sewage, this results suggest that long-term irrigation of the spa sewage may be required general management with some decreasing fertilization.
