This experiment was conducted to know critical sowing depth and emergence day under different sowing depth at Crop Experiment Station, Suweon, in 1982. Tested weed species were Sagittaria pygnaea, Eleocharis kuroguwai, Cyperus serotinus and Potamageton distinetus, sowing depth of weeds were 5cm, 10cm, 15cm, 20cm and 25cm Critical emergence sowing depth of S. pygnaea, E. kuroguwai was 15cmand C. serotinus was 20cm sowing depth while P. distintus was 25cm sowing depth. Average emergence days under 5cm sowing depth for E. kurogwai, S. pygmaea, P. distintus and C. serotinus was 27.8 days, 14.1 days, 13.6 days and 7.3 days. While, relationships between sowing depth and day to emergence was positively correlated. Gernination percent of weeds under Critical emergence sowing depth, S. pygmaea, E. kurogwai and, P. distinctus was 57%, 67%, 80%, but C. serotinu.s was all died.

This experiment was conducted to understand the environmental factors affecting growth and tuber formation such as temperature, day length, tight intensity, water condition and cutting time of Eleocharis kuroguwai Ohwi. Plant height, shoot number and dry weight of E. kuroguwai were higher at high temperature, 25/$25^{\circ}C$ (day/night), while nitrogen content was higher at low temperature, 20/$15^{\circ}C$. Plant height was more affected by water temperature, while shoot number and dry weight were more affected by air temperature. Contents and absorption of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium in top parts of E. kuroguwai were higher under greater difference between air and water temperatures, i.e., 18/$28^{\circ}C$ and 28/$18^{\circ}C$. The number and weight of tubers were increased under greater difference between air and water temperatures, i.e, 18/$28^{\circ}C$ and 28/$18^{\circ}C$, while they were inhibited at low or high air/water temperatures (18/$18^{\circ}C$ or 28/$28^{\circ}C$). Tubers of E. kuroguwai were formed at 8-or 12-hour day length, however, no tuber was formed at l6-hour day length. Photoinductive period for tuber initiation of E. kuroguwai was between 30 and 45 days after emergence, and the induction period of short-day treatment was less than 10 days. Tuber number and weight were reduced by shading due to inhibition of the growth of top and underground parts. Number of days from planting to tuber initiation was shortned as planting time was delayed and plant height, dry weight, and tuber number were also reduced by delayed planting. Tuber number at l0 to 15cm water depth was decreased 63 to 75% as compared with 1 to 5cm water depth. Tuber number and dry weight were not affected by the size of tubers at planting. Due to the reduced growth of top and underground parts, tuber number and dry weight of E. kuroguwai were decreased by delayed shoot cutting. The critical cutting time to inhibit the growth of E. kuroguwai was about 70 days after emergence.
