This study was conducted to investigate the possibility of biochar as an alternative medium to peatmoss using for Aster spathulifolius. We cultivated A. spathulifolius in four potting media with different mixing rates (v/v) of peatmoss (P) and biochar (B) as follows: B0+P3, B1+P2, B2+P1, and B3+P0 with vermiculite 3 + perlite 3. Also, we analyzed the chemical properties of media and the plant growth characteristics. The results were as follows: In case of media's chemical condition, B0+P3 and B1+P2 treatments showed higher tendency (p < 0.05). Plant height on B0+P3 and B1+P2 treatments was much higher than that on other treatments (p < 0.05). Root length on B1+P2 treatment was higher than on B0+P3 treatment (p < 0.05). B0+P3 and B1+P2 treatments showed higher number of leaves and dry biomass than other treatments. Therefore, our results support that Biochar : Peatmoss : Vermiculite : Perlite (1/3 : 2/3 : 1 : 1, v/v) could be a more economical potting medium for A. spathulifolius than peatmoss : vermiculite : perlite (1 : 1 : 1, v/v).

This study was carried out to investigate appropriate processing conditions for expanded rice hulls to be used as a medium material in nutrient cultures. The water holding capacity of expanded rice hulls produced by using a domestic grinder with 8 mm gap and 3 mm cutter height was 271.0, and the bulk density and CEC were 0.19g·m-3 and 37.0 cmol·kg-1, respectively. These values are higher than those of perilte. However, geometric mean diameter (GMD) of expanded rice hulls was 1.01mm which was smaller than that of perlite, indicating unfavorable porosity. After supplying nutrient solution, the faster water percolation in expanded rice than perlite required more frequent water supply. There was no significant difference in tomato fruit yield between expanded rice hull and perlite. The pH increase and the lack of nitrogen in early stage of culture are to be solved in the future.

Organic materials reveal the remarkable absorption and high buffer capacity for nutrient. Hence, organic materials need some different nutrient management skill from inorganic one. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of EC level of nutrient solution on the yield and quality of cut rose grown in the mixed substrate of coir and perlite. 3 EC levels of nutrient solution was treated, which were 0.7, 1.0, 1.3 times of standard solution (Aichiken solution, Japan) for cut rose hydroponics. EC of the standard solution was changed by season following as 1.4 (Apr.~June), 1.0 (July~Aug.), 1.4 (Sep.~Oct.), and $1.6dS{\cdot}m^{-1}$ (Nov.~Mar.) subsequently. The supply of nutrient solution was controlled by the signal of water potential at -5kPa using frequency domain reflectometry (FDR) sensor. As the results, marketable yield was similar for all treatments until 3rd harvest, but was decreased in high EC level from 4th harvest to 7th harvest as final. 0.7 times of standard solution decreased the ratio of unmarketable rose having short stem below 70cm and increased the ratio of high quality rose having long stem above 91cm. The flower weight and stem diameter of cut rose was higher in the low EC treatment than the others.

Daily last time of irrigation in perlite bag culture was investigated to get high water use efficiency (WUE) and fertilizer use efficiency (FUE) and also sustain high productivity for tomato. The water content in the substrate was higher as the last time of irrigation was later from 4 to 1hour before sunset. The growth were not significantly different in all treatments. The marketable yield was the highest in treatments of 1 or 2hours before sunset and the lowest in treatment of 4hours. In the result to investigate for 128days WUE and FUE were the lowest in treatment of 1hour before sunset but the highest in treatment of 3hours before sunset. In the conclusion, it looks best to end irrigation 2~3hours before sunset in the aspects of plant growth, yield, WUE, and FUE.

This study was conducted to select proper substrate and nutrient solution concentration for favorable growth and quality in common thyme (Thymus vulgaris L.). The growth of common thyme was better in deep flow culture (DFT) than in other substrate cultures. As the nutrient solution concentration rose, the ratio of dry matter increased, while the fresh weight and the number of lateral shoots decreased. The contents of total chlorophyll and vitamin C were higher in DFT than others. Ca, K, P were showed high contents in cocopeat, but Mg content was the highest at half-fold concentration in DFT. Common thyme showed low content of nitrate in DFT compared with that in other substrate culture. DFT was the most effective system for pronoting growth and quality of common thyme. The optimal concentration of nutrient solution in common thyme was half-fold(EC=1.2mS/cm) of herbs nutrient solution by European Vegetable R&D Center.

본 연구는 각시톱시네고사리(Dryopteris hangchowensis Ching)의 전엽체 증식 및 포자체 형성을 위한 번식방법을 구명하고자 수행되었다. 각시톱지네고사리의 식물체를 무가온 온실에 재배하면서 포자를 채취하였으며, 수집된 포자는 기내에서 발아시켜 전엽체를 획득한 다음 계대배양하면서 실험의 재료로 사용하였다. 전엽체 대량증식을 위하여 1/4, 1/2, 1배로 조절한 MS배지와 Knop배지를 조성하였다. 이후 전엽체 300mg을 균일하게 다져 조성된 배지에 8주간 배양하였다. 연구의 결과, 전엽체의 생체중은 1/2MS와 1/4MS에서 3.4g으로 가장 많이 증가하였다. 현미경 관찰의 결과, 두 배지 모두 정상적인 전엽체의 형태로 발달하였으며, 생육도 양호하였다. 포자체 형성을 위한 적정 배양토의 혼합조건을 확인하고자 원예상토, 피트모스, 펄라이트 및 마사토의 혼합비율을 5종류로 달리하여 조성하였다. 준비된 배양토를 사각분($7.5{\times}7.5{\times}7.5cm$)에 충진 후 기내 배양한 전엽체 1g과 증류수를 함께 10초간 분쇄하여 토양표면에 균일하게 분주한 다음 12주간 재배하였다. 연구의 결과, 원예상토, 피트모스, 펄라이트를 1:1:1(v:v:v) 비율로 혼합한 토양에서 포트 당 223.7개로 가장 많은 포자체가 형성되었다. 또한 형성된 포자체의 생육을 조사한 결과, 상기 토양에서 생체중, 엽수, 엽장, 엽폭, 근수, 근장 및 SPAD value 등의 생육수치가 우수하였다. 따라서 각시톱시네고사리의 전엽체 증식에 적합한 배지는 경제성과 생육수준을 고려하여 1/4MS 배지가 적합하며, 포자체 대량생산을 위해서는 원예상토, 피트모스, 펄라이트를 1:1:1(v:v:v)로 혼합한 토양이 적합하다고 판단되었다.

Cellular glass foam (CGE), the reprocessed glass, has a possibility as a component of vegetative propagation media of floricultural crops due to the its excellent air and water permeability, similar to that of perlite. An experiment was conducted to evaluate the rooting and growth thereafter of Kalanchoe blossfeldiana ‘Gold Strike’in media containing various volume ratios of granular rockwool, peat-moss, CGF and perlite. The particle size of CGF and perlite was 2.0~4.0mm and 1.2~4.0mm, respectively. Cuttings were rooted in a fog tunnel with a mean temperature of 18.2$^{\circ}C$ and RH of 66.7％ under a long day regime (14 h per day light period). Height, length of the longest root, stem diameter, no. of leaves, leaf area, percentage of rooted cuttings, shoot and root fresh weights, shoot and root dry weights, total chlorophyll concentration and physicochemical properties were measured. Cuttings rooted 100% in all treatments. Physicochemical properties in CGF and perlite-containing media showed little differences. The growth of rooted plants in the CGF-containing media was similar or rather superior to that in perlite-containing media. Consequently, CGF has a possibility as a vegetative propagation medium of Kalanchoe. To make wider commercial use of CGF, more demonstrative experiments and analyses are necessary.

Plant roots are affected by the root zone environment rather than substrate material itself. It is important to provide a suitable environment for the roots by amending the substrate and adjusting supply of the nutrient solution. In an expanded rice hull substrates, 1.5 L nutrient solution was supplied on each day at different frequency. In rice hull substrate, plant growth and yield were the greatest in the treatment where a 1.5L nutrient solution was supplied as 24 equal aliquots, wheres in perlite substrate plant growth and yield were the greatest in the treatment with 16 aliquots. Nitrogen deficiency symptoms caused by early decomposition of rice hulls by microorganisms was recovered by increasing solution EC from 1.7 to EC 2.0 dS.m$^{-1}$ for 25 days after planting. Plant growth and yield increased in the treatment of Ec 3.0 dS.m$^{-1}$ , but the cause for this increase is not clear.

An experiment was conducted to evaluate shattered industrial polyurethane (PUR) and cellular glass foam (CGF) as growth medium components. Pot chrysanthemum 'Pink Pixie Time 'was cuttured in media containing various volume ratios of PUR, CGF, peatmoss, coir, and perlite. Before plant culture, pH and EC of media were determined. Container capacity (%) was low in perlite and CGF-containing media, but it increased when incorporation ratio of peatmoss or coir was increased. pH was stable between 5.0 and 6.3, but was high in coir-contaning media as compared to other media tested. EC was very high in coir-containing media. Hight at 34 days after planting was the greatest in media containing CGF, and number. of leaves was similar among treatments. Growth in PUR-containinly media was poorer than that in the other media, with some leaf edge burning. Trends in growth measured at 97 days after planting was similar to that measured at 34 days after planting.
