The purpose of this study was to determine which fermented liquid fertilizer and application method yields the greatest amount of growth in red pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) and tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum MILL.) plants. Additionally, we investigated which extraction methods produce the most effective fertilizer with the highest levels of mineral nutrients. The liquid fertilizers used in this study were made from fish, bone and fish meal, red pepper leaves, and oil cake, and were extracted using fermentation or water and boiled water. In tomato plants, foliar-application of fermented fertilizer is known to promote more growth than application by drenching, regardless of the number of treatments (once or twice). In our studies, however, drenching with fertilizer promoted growth more effectively than foliar-application in red pepper plants. Studies in both tomato and red pepper have shown that the number of treatments does not significantly alter growth. Liquid fertilizers produced by a fermentation-extraction method promoted greater levels of growth in tomato compared to red pepper, and growth was greater when fertilizers were applied 20 (rather than 40) days post-sowing. Red pepper and tomato shoot fresh weight were affected more by fermented fertilizers than plant height 20 days post-sowing. In red pepper, we observed increased shoot fresh weight when using fermented liquid fertilizers with concentrations of 0.1% or greater. Tomato shoot fresh weight increased similarly in response to fermented fertilizer treatments at the same concentration levels, except those derived from fish. Fermented fish liquid fertilizer was only effective in increasing tomato shoot fresh weight in concentrations exceeding 1%. Red pepper and tomato shoot fresh weight also increased more than plant height in our studies using fermentation liquid fertilizers at 40 days after sowing. Red pepper fresh weight increased with application of bone + fish meal, red pepper leaf, and oil cake fertilizers at concentrations of 0.1%, but not with fish liquid fertilizer in concentrations under 0.5%. Shoot fresh weight in tomato increased with all liquid fertilizers. Growth in red pepper and tomato may be influenced by different kinds of fertilizers due to combinations of macro- and micro-nutrients, or specific macro-nutrients such as nitrogen, phosphoric acid, and potassium. The mineral nutrients found in fish, bone and fish meal, red pepper leaves, and oil cake were not easily extracted by fermentation; thus, liquid fertilizers made using water and boiled water methods more effectively promoted growth in red pepper and tomato due to the larger amounts of macronutrients eluted.

Carbon material such as graphite and activated charcoal can promote the growth of some formsog bacteria. We examined whether this bacterial growth promoting effect can have a positive influence on field crops. Refined graphite was mixed into the standard soil used in rice cultivation. Varying soil graphite mixtures of 0.1%, 0.5% and 1% were used to cultivate rice seedling for 3 weeks. After transplanting in the filed, rice plants were cultivated for 4 months. To observe the effect of graphite(carbon material) during the cultivation of rice, we examined various different growth components in this research. During the transplanting stage, growth promoting effect of carbon was observed in the 0.1% carbon added soil. However, there were not much difference between graphite added soil and standard soil in the other stages. Rice yield was highest in the soil with 0.1% graphite.

Experiments were conducted to develop a pelletization method of minute tobacco seeds for easy handling at seeding by hand or for mechanical seeding. Serpentine, zeolite, and talc were tested as coating materials and the resulting pills were compared in size uniformity, hardness, length of time needed for coating, percentage of pills containing a single seed, and speed of disintegration when submerged in water. Talc was the poorest and zeolite was good only in hardness. On the other hand serpentine was good in most characters above, except for brittleness. This defect, however, was overcome by double coating, first with serpentine and followed by zeolite. This new pelletizing method results in optimum hardness, uniform size, and high ratio of pellets containing one tobacco seed. When compared to bare tobacco seeds, the double-coated seeds did not differ in germination test.

There have not been many studies conducted on the seedling production, especially in plug trays, of traditional medicinal plant species. In an effort to establish guide lines for seedling production, this study investigated the effect of plug cell size on the growth and development of plug seedling of three medicinal plant species. Seeds were sown in either 128, 200, or 288-cell plug trays, containing a commercial medium. Growth and development of individual seedling was generally promoted with increasing size of a plug cell in all of the three species. The greatest biomass of the seedlings gained in a plug tray was obtained in the 288-cell trays in Perilla frutescens var. acuta Kudo and Sophora tonkinensis, and the 200-cell trays in Angelica gigas Nakai. Overall growth and development of the shoot and root of a single seedling of Perilla frutescens var. acuta Kudo, except total chlorophyll and anthocyanin contents, was the greatest in the 128-cell tray. However, length of the longest root, length, width and area of the leaf, internode length, root fresh weight, and root ball formation in the 200- and 288-cell trays were not significantly different each other. In Sophora tonkinensis, although length of the longest root, stem diameter, leaf width, leaf area, shoot fresh weight, and root ball formation were not significantly different among the treatments, length of the longest root and root ball formation of a single seedling were the greatest in the 128-cell tray. Overall shoot and root growth, except total chlorophyll content, of a single seedling of Angelica gigas Nakai was the greatest in the 128-cell tray. Based on the total biomass, it is concluded that 288-cell trays are recommended for production of plug seedlings of medicinal plant species P. frutescens var. acuta Kudo and S. tonkinensis. In A. gigas Nakai, it would be more economical to use the 200-cell trays than 128-cell trays due to total biomass.

This study was conducted to investigate optimal conditions for cutting propagation of the strawberry cultivar "Sulhyang" through the collection methods of cuttings (runners tips), leaf number of cuttings, and cutting time. Cuttings were collected from the mother plant in the nursery bed (MP) and plants after fruit harvest (HP); the leaf number of cuttings was 0, 1, and 2, and the cutting time was at one-week intervals from June 4 to July 9. The survival rates for MP and HP cuttings were notably high, reaching 99.5% and 98.7%, respectively, but no significant difference was found. The number of roots were higher in MP cuttings, and there was no significant difference in crown and leaf growth. The fruit yields were 419.2 and 428.4 g, for MP and HP cuttings, respectively. The survival rates according to leaf number of cuttings were 98.1% and 98.3% for 1 and 2 remaining leaves, respectively, and remarkably lower at 25.3% for no remaining leaves. The root numbers were 26.0 and 26.3 for 1 and 2 remaining leaves, respectively, compared with 23.5 for no remaining leaves, with no significant differences in crown and leaf growth. The fruit yields were 424.4 and 421.5 g for 1 and 2 remaining leaves, respectively, and 396.7 g for no remaining leaves. The survival rates according to cutting time was over 97.2% in all cutting time without any difference in each treatment. The root, shoot, and crown of the nursery plant before planting showed the best growth in the cuttings on June 4 and 11, resulting in the highest fruit yields of 433.3 and 426.4 g, respectively, with the lowest yields at 384.5 g for cutting time on July 9. Both MP and HP materials proved suitable for strawberry cuttings. The optimal leaf number for cuttings was at least 1, and the optimal cutting time in Gyeongnam area was evaluated as around June 4-11.

The objective of this research was to investigate the influence of various root media on the growth of mother and daughter plants during propagation and early yield after transplanting of 'Seolhyang' strawberry. To achieve this, daughter plants were fixed to connected small pots that contained expanded rice-hull (ERH), a strawberry-specialized commercial medium (SSCM), soil mother materials (SMM), or loamy sand (LS). Then, growth of daughter plants in above- and below-ground tissue as well as early yield after transplanting to plastic house soil were investigated. The growth of daughter plants in terms of plant height, leaf area and fresh weight were the highest in the SSCM treatment. Root growth in terms of the amount of primary roots and root dry weight were the highest in the treatments of ERH and SMM and the lowest in that of SSCM, among treatments tested. The ERH treatment also showed the highest values among treatments in root length, surface area and volume when roots with 0 to 0.4 mm in diameter were investigated. The flower bud differentiation of daughter plants began on Sept. 3 in the ERH treatments, earlier than the SMM (Sept. 5) and in SSCM (Sept. 7) treatments. The tissue N contents of daughter plants were in the range of 1.41 to 1.55% in all treatments, and no significant differences were observed among treatments. This indicates that the low moisture retention capacity of ERH and water stress, rather than tissue N contents, promote the flower differentiation of daughter plants. In the evaluation of early yield after transplant, the ERH treatment of showed the highest yield in the period from November to December, reaching 667 g fruit weight per 10 plants. The yields per 10 plants in the other treatments were 581 g in SMM, 475 g in SSCM and 295 g in LS. Above results imply that the various root media have different effects on the growth of daughter plants as well as flower bud differentiation. Therefore, improvement in early yield after transplant can be achieved through selection of proper root medium for daughter plant propagation.

다복찰은 전라북도농업 기술원에서 2012~2020년에 신명흑찰과 익산488호를 교배하여 육성한 찰벼이며, 중대립, 단간, 내도복, 다수성의 특징을 보인다. 동진찰은 1998년도에 육성되었으며, 우리나라에서 가장 인기 있는 찰벼이다(재배면적 25,161ha/2021년 기준). 드문모심기 재배 기술은 2017년부터 도입되었으며, 밀파 육묘하여 재식밀도 및 재식주수를 감소함으로써 소요되는 재료비 등 경비 및 투입되는 노동력을 절감하는 경제성 있는 기술이다. 따라서 본 연구는 전라북도농업기술원에서 육성한 다복찰 보급 확대 및 가장 인기 높은 동진찰의 드문모심기 재배기술 확립 일환으로 시작되었으며, 2024년까지 3년간 실시할 계획이다. 시험은 기술원 논 포장에서 실시하였으며, 시험품종은 다복찰, 동진찰, 시험요인은 이앙시기(3처리) 및 재식밀도(4처리)를 두었다. 이앙시기별로 이앙 17일 전에 온탕소독(62℃, 10분), 종자소독(32℃, 1일), 침종(32℃, 1일), 간이출하(30℃, 3일) 과정을 거쳐 부직포 육묘(12일 정도)를 실시하였다. 5월20일(이앙520)부터 5월30일(이앙530), 6월9일(이앙609)까지 10일 간격으로 드문모심기 전용 이앙기로 이앙하였으며, 주당 본수는 5.7개 정도였다. 이앙 시기별로 시험포장을 구분하였고 포장내에 2품종, 각각 3.3m2당 80주, 60주, 50주, 37주 등 재식밀도 처리구를 두었으며, 처리구마다 3반복 조사구(10주/반복, 5본/주) 설치하였다. 10a당 9-4.5-5.7kg(N-P₂O₅-K₂O)를 밑거름(50%)-분얼거름(20)-이삭거름(30) 등 3회 거쳐 시비하였다. 중간물떼기는 이앙32일째부터 10일간 실시하였으며, 예상 출수 30일 전에 충분하게 담수하였다. 이앙20일째부터 10일 간격으로 경수, 초장, 엽색도 등 생육 조사, 그리고 출수기, 후기 생육 및 병해충을 조사하였다. 향후 수확기에 수량, 수량구성요소, 미질 및 품위를 분석할 계획이다. 시험토양은 pH 6.0~6.3, EC는0.68~0.85dS/m, 유기물함량은 52~57g/kg 수준으로 높았다. 동진찰 발아율(94.0~98.1%)이 다복찰(89.9~94.9%)보다 우수하였다(3~6%P ↑). 다복찰 묘 충실도(102~106mg/주)가 동진찰(79~101mg/주)보다 다소 좋았으며, 이앙530 묘소질이 가장 좋았다. 동진찰 초장은 다복찰에 비해 다소 길었으나 이앙시기 및 재식밀도별 초장의 변화 유형은 비슷하였다. 이앙520구의 80주에서 초장이 가장 작았고 이앙609구에서는 80주에서 다소 길었으나, 처리구간의 유의성은 없었다. 동진찰 및 다복찰 경수는 37주에서 이앙 후 40일째, 50주, 60주, 80주에서는 30일째 가장 컸다. 출수기는 다복찰에 비해 동진찰이 3~7일 정도 빨랐으며, 특히 이앙520 동진찰에서는 재식밀도가 높을수록 출수기가 빠른 경향을 보였으며, 이앙530 이후에는 재식밀도간 차이가 거의 없었다. 동진찰에 비해 다복찰 간장이 3~6cm 작았으며, 2품종 모두 이앙609구에서 가장 낮은 값을 보였다. 수장도 간장과 비슷한 경향을 보였다. 수수는 2품종 모두 이앙이 늦을수록 증가하였으며, 37주에서 가장 높았으며, 80주에 비해 다복찰, 동진찰 각각 73.8%, 77.4% 높았다. 다복찰의 경우 3.3m²당 수수는 이앙시기별과 관계없이 상대적으로 80주에서 가장 많았고 이앙520에서 재식밀도간 차이는 감소하였지만 이앙시기가 늦을수록 수수는 증가하는 경향을 보였다. 동진찰도 비슷한 경향을 보였으며, 이앙520과 이앙609 사이에 수수 차이는 적었다. 병 발생은 잎집무늬마름병, 세균성벼알마름병, 이삭누룩병이 주로 관찰되었으며, 세균성 벼알마름병은 출수기와 맞물린 이앙530에서 가장 크게 발생하였으며, 이앙520도 비슷한 경향을 보였다. 이삭누룩병 발생이 심하였는데 재식밀도간 차이보다는 이앙시기별 차이가 더 크게 발생하였으며 품종 간의 병 발생 차이는 없었다. 이상의 결과로 수수 측면에서 조기 이앙할 경우에는 50~60주, 늦은 이앙 시에는 80주가 유리할 것으로 보이며, 추후주당 립수, 등숙률, 천립중 등을 조사하고 경영비 등을 고려하여 합리적인 이앙시기 및 재식밀도를 판단할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.
