  • Riptortus clavatus, one of the many insects in major crops, damages pods and seeds, which reduces seed vigor and viability in soybeans. This study was conducted to examine the effect of diversely damaged seeds by R. clavatus on seed germination and seedling emergence and to determine the association of damaged seed with quality and yield of soybean sprouts. All seeds damaged by R. clavatus significantly (P<0.05) reduced seed vigor as measured by the rates of seed germination, germination speed, and seedling emergence. Mean seed germination rate of non-damaged seeds in sprout-soybean varieties was 97.8%, whereas the rates of seeds damaged at different levels, 31-50% and 51-80%, were 23.0 and 5.4%, respectively. The rates of seedling rot and abnormal, incomplete germination significantly (P<0.05) increased as the amount of seeds damaged by R. clavatus increased to 5, 10 and 15% against the total seeds for sprout production. Yield of soybean sprouts from seeds damaged at different levels decreased up to 13% as compared to that in normal seeds. In customer preferences on soybean sprout produce, 84% of customers participated in survey preferred to purchase sprouts from seeds with 5% of damaged seeds, but sprouts produced from seeds with 15% of damaged seeds were intended to purchase only by 22% of the customers. Areas of the seed damaged by R. clavatus were readily infected by pathogens as the seed germinated, resulted in deteriorated quality and reduced yield of sprout produce.

  • This study was conducted to find out the feasibility in direct seeded rice cultivation on the reclaimed saline soil. Seedling emergence was tested under the different application rates of rice straw and seeding depth, and also under combined treatments soil moisture regimes and seeding depth on saline soils in a greenhouse. The comparison of seedling stand and yield performance of rice in rotary till after broadcast seeding and in non-plow after broadcast seeding were tested on a field that reclaimed saline soil. Seedling emergence ratio in application of rice straw(4 and 6 tons /ha) was higher than that in non-application of rice straw. Seedling emergence and plant height were remarkably increased with the shallow seeding depth in the application of rice straw(4 tons /ha). The seedling emergence under proper soil moisture condition(25%) was higher than that under excess soil moisture condition(35%). Under proper soil moisture condition, the plant height was increased with the shallowed seeding depth. The number of seedling stand per m$^2$ in non-plow after broadcast seeding was larger than that in rotary till after broadcast seeding. Panicle number per m$^2$ in non-plow after broadcast seeding was much larger than that in rotary till after broadcast seeding and the yield showed the same trends as panicle number.

  • Carrot(Daucus carota L.) seeds (CV Danver 126) were primed and then separated by density differences to improve both the percentage and time of radicle emergence. Seeds for priming were soaked in aerated distilled water for 2 days (water imbibed), 25% solution of polyethylene glycol(PEG) 6000 for 6 or 10 days, salt solution of 0.2M KNO$_3$+0.1M $K_2$HPO$_4$ for 6 or 10 days, or mixed with Agro-Lig with 90% moisture content for 6 days and 70% moisture content for 6 or 10 days (SMP) at 2$0^{\circ}C$, respectively. The greatest embryo growth and the highest radicle emergence were observed from the seeds treated SMP with 90% moisture content for 6 days among the primed treatments. After the SMP treatment, the seeds were separated into density classes with a float-sink procedure using aqueous solution of Maltrin 600 with 0.02/cm$^3$ density increments. The lower density classes of the carrot seeds, the more embryo growth, the higher and the faster rates of radicle emergence were exhibited in order from 1.06 to 1.14 density classes of the carrot seeds treated SMP.

  • To develop a system for the mass production of Protaetia brevitarsislarvae (Pbl), this study analyzed the oviposition characteristics of third instar Pbl through successive rearing and cold treatments. In the first generation, females laid 50 eggs each on average, and spawned higher numbers of eggs for the first 5 days but then fewer after this. However, all of the $2^{nd}$-generation females that were produced through the successive rearing of eggs from the $1^{st}$ generation did not spawn. When test insects (TI) were raised at $32^{\circ}C$, their $mean{\pm}SE$ pupal period and emergence rate were $28.4{\pm}1.9$ days and 87%, respectively. However, most individuals raised in cold treatments ($5^{\circ}C$ and $-5^{\circ}C$) without a pre-cooling period did not survive. Individuals exposed to a pre-cooling period, however, had a 7-10 days longer pupal period than those raised at $32^{\circ}C$, and their emergence rate (90%) was slightly higher. Different cold treatment temperatures ($0^{\circ}C$, $3^{\circ}C$, or $5^{\circ}C$) and periods (30 or 60 days) were tested in further experiments. The experimental group kept for 30 days at $0^{\circ}C$ and $3^{\circ}C$ had the shortest pupal period of all, and emergence rates exceeded 90% in most groups. With respect to the number of eggs spawned by the second generation females after cold treatments, the experimental groups held in cold treatments at $5^{\circ}C$ for 30 and 60 days were found to spawn the most eggs. Consequently, the experimental group kept at $5^{\circ}C$ for 30 days was the most effective set of conditions tested during the entire breeding period.

  • Crotalaria sessiflora is one of a few medicinal herbs among the legumes used as antitumor herb medicine but has lower seed germination and afterward seedling emergence. This study was carried out to elucidate the effects of cold stratification as presown treatment as well as $GA_3$, $KNO_3$ and acetone on its seed germination and seedling emergence. Cold stratification, $GA_3$, $KNO_3$ and acetone treatments were performed with different concentrations and period levels. Cold treatment was done under 14 hour red light illumination a day or darkness and the two others under darkness. On the basis of the best germination rate of each treatment, $GA_3$ and cold stratification treatments showed the highest germination rates at 0.1 mM but 12 hours and 2 week periods under darkness, respectively. $KNO_3$ and acetone treatments came out at 400 mM and 200 mM lasted for, respectively. The best germination rates from $KNO_3$ and acetone were comparatively higher than those from the former $GA_3$ and cold treatments. In evaluation of seedling emergence using the last two treatments, $KNO_3$ treated seeds were better performed than acetone treated seeds showed somewhat higher germination rate, implying that presown seed treatments must be evaluated by the combination with indoor and field tests.

  • Periodical samplings were made in the fields, located Hwasong-Gun, Banwal-Myon, Doondai-Ri, for two years to study the major factors responsible to the population of the overwintered pine needle gall midge, Thecodiplosis japonensis Uchida et Inouye. The population densities of the overwintered larvae reduced greatly at the time of pupation and the changing patterns seemed to be influenced by environmental conditions. The estimated 50% pupation day was about two weeks earlier for the 1980 generation compared with the 1979 generation, and much higher average and the daily maximum temperatures in 1981 affected on the development of the larvae. The relative emergence rates were 14.1% for 1979 and 14.9% for 1980 generation. The relative emergence rates(Y) were affected by the moisture contents of soil ($X_1$) and its variance $(X_2),\;Y=-68.41+4.3206X_1-0.6887X_2$. The relative emergence rates seemed to be decreased with the increased variance of the moisture contents of soil. Percents of needle gall were 49.63% for 1980 and 86.87% for 1981 generation.

  • From the two differently located orchards (even-site with adult tree and slope-site with young tree), weed emergence and the effect of various orchard herbicides on them were comparatively experimented. Weed emergence was assessed in emergence frequency, biomass, relative frequency, and herbicide responses were checked with the variarions in the above weed emergence characters and the weeding values. Herbicides applied were paraquat, glyphosate, oxyfluorfen, napropamide and ustinex using the recommended rates, respectively. Weeds emerged were 7 life-forms, 23 families and 45 species. Among other families, weeds Umbelliferae, Commelinaceae, Gramineae and Polygonaceae couldn't classified in any similarly correlated cluster. However, according to "1-Q mode cluster analysis" of each herbicide performances, "paraquat or glyphosate" with "napropamide or oxyfluorfen" were selected as the most unrelated herbicide pairs expecting the best combination value in mixture model, respectively.

  • Reasonable seedling emergence is a prerequisite for successful crop cultivation especially in medicinal crops. The study was carried out to model the pretreatment or seed treatment of Codonopsis lanceolata seeds by evaluating the treatment effects of priming, $GA_3$, drying and water imbibition after drying on their germination and then their successive seed treatment on the basis of its seedling emergence. The priming using $Ca(NO_3)_2$ and $GA_3$ treatment under their different concentrations and light quality illuminated for 12 hours a day were separately done and the two best results from priming and $GA_3$ treatments were compared to determine the better one. The drying of imbibed seeds using the above best result and water imbibition of the dried seeds were successively done to measure the rates of germination and emergence. On the greatest germination rate of the first two individual treatments, priming was obtained at $Ca(NO_3)_2$ 150 mM under blue, red light or darkness for 2 days but $GA_3$ was done at 0.1 mM under blue light imposed for 3 days. However, the result of the latter $GA_3$ treatment was better than that of priming. $GA_3$ treated seeds were best desiccated under $35^{\circ}C$ and 4 hour red light illumination. A day water imbibition immediately before sowing increased the germination rate of seeds dried after $GA_3$ treatment. Seedling emergence tested after all 3 successive treatments, $GA_3$, drying and water imbibition before sowing was greater than the two others, only $GA_3$ treatment and the combination of $GA_3$ and drying, meaning that its pretreatment of seeds or seed treatment must follow the successive procedure of the above 3 ones.

  • Indoor seed treatments to elevate seedling emergence should be of value. The study was done to model the presown treatments of Platycodon grandiflorum seeds by evaluating the treatment effects of priming,$GA_3$, drying and water imbibition after drying on their germination and then their successive seed treatments on the basis of its seedling emergence. after priming using $Ca(NO_3)_2\;and\;GA_3$ treatment under their different concentrations and light quality illuminated for 12 hours a day were done separately and their two best results were compared to determine the better one, drying of imbibed seeds using the above best result and water imbibition of the dried seeds were successively done to check the rates of germination and emergence. In each treatment of priming and $GA_3$, the former best germination occurred at $Ca(NO_3)_2$ 150 mM done under 2 day darkness but the latter one did at 0.01 mM done under 12 hour a day red light forced for 3 days. Of the two best results from priming and $GA_3$ treatments, the latter result was shown higher germination rate. $GA_3$ treated seeds were best desiccated under $35^{\circ}C$ and 4 hour red light illumination. The germination rate of seeds dried after $GA_3$ treatment was enhanced as imibibed 2 days immediately before sowing. Seedling emergence of all 3 successive treatments, $GA_3$, drying and water imbibition before sowing was the greatest than the two others, only $GA_3$ treatment and the combination of $GA_3$ and drying, in which indicated that its presown seed treatment must follow the successive procedure of the above 3 ones.
