식물의 작물 계수는 실제 증발산량과 잠재 증발산량의 비로 정의되어지며, 이 인자는 식생의 종류, 성장 단계 및 다양한 기후 조건에 따른 작물 재배를 위한 관개에 필요한 물의 양을 예측하는데 매우 중요한 역할을 담당한다. 지점 기반의 작물계수는 다음과 같이 FAO-56 Irrigation and Drainage에서 제시한 Single 과 dual crop coefficient 접근법을 활용하여 계산되어 진다. Single crop coefficient는 하나의 계수에 지표면에서의 증발 및 식생에서의 증산에 대한 영향을 모두 고려한 접근법이며, dual crop coefficient는 지표면에서의 증발 및 식생에서의 증산에 의한 효과를 각각 상이한 계수로 정의하여 그들의 합을 통해 작물계수를 추정되어진다. 이러한 작물계수는 효율적인 수자원 관리를 위해서 광범위한 지역에 대한 작물 계수 산출 및 분석의 필요성이 대두되고 있을 뿐만 아니라, 지점 기반의 작물 계수는 공간적인 대표성을 갖지 못하기 때문에, 실제적인 적용을 위해서는 주변의 환경적 조건을 고려한 local calibration 작업이 추가적으로 수행되어야한다. 본 연구에서는 시공간적인 연속성을 가지는 인공위성을 활용하여 작물 계수를 산정하였으며, 지점 기반 작물 계수와의 비교를 통해 검증을 실시하였다. 또한, 인공위성 기반의 작물계수와 가뭄 분석에 널리 쓰이고 있는 식생상태지수 (Vegetation Condition Index) 와의 비교를 통하여 작물 계수를 통한 광범위한 지역에서의 가뭄 분석의 가능성 또한 분석하였다

A new and relatively simple equation for the soil water content-pressure head curve, ${\theta}$(h) is described in this paper. The particular form of the equation enables one to derive closed-form analytical expressions for the relative hydraulic conductivity, Kr, when substituted in the predictive conductivity models of Y. Mualem. Hopmans' equation is presented as an experimental method. The experienced method, $ET_a=K_sK_cET_o$ is introduced to estimate the actual evapotranspiration, $ET_a$(or $ET_c$). Using $ET_c$ and coil water data measured automatically in a weighing lusimeter, $K_s$ and $K_c$ values are estimated. Recently, FAO has introduced calculation procedures for the soil water(stress) coefficient, Ks in "Guidelines for computing crop water requirements".

Dairy goat production continues to be a socially, economically and culturally important part of the livestock industry in North, Central and South America and the Caribbean islands. Goat milk, cheese and other dairy products offer consumers food products with nutritional, health and environmental benefits. In North America, Mexico produces the greatest volume of goat milk, but most is for family or local consumption that is typical of a mixed farming system adopted by subsistence farmers in dry areas. The United States is not yet a large global goat milk producer, but the sector has expanded rapidly, with dairy goat numbers doubling between 1997 and 2012. The number of dairy goats has also increased dramatically in Canada. Commercial farms are increasingly important, driven by rising demand for good quality and locally sourced goat cheese. In South America, Brazil has the most developed dairy goat industry that includes government assistance to small-scale producers and low-income households. As of 2017, FAO identified Haiti, Peru, Jamaica, and Bolivia as having important goat milk production in the Western Hemisphere. For subsistence goat producers in the Americas on marginal land without prior history of chemical usage, organic dairy goat production can be a viable alternative for income generation, with sufficient transportation, sanitation and marketing initiatives. Production efficiency, greenhouse gas emission, waste disposal, and animal welfare are important challenges for dairy goat producers in the Americas.

The purpose of this study is to show probability of alternate food by using edible insects through the reports (Edible insects: Future prospects for food and feed security) edited by WFO (World Food Organization). We were carried out to develop the functional meat new product using Mealworm (Tenebrio molitor lavare) and Chicken breast. People's interest to the healthy, low-calories food is growing up, the Foodservice industry is developing and making Functional food, which helps to a sale strategy. Insects have played an important role as human food throughout history, especially in Africa, Asia and Latin America. A rapid increase in the human population is expected in the second half of the 21 century, which will lead to lower availability of food, especially animal protein As the problem of food supply and demand has come to the fore with climate change, Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) has noticed edible insects as future food resources in order to prepare against the shortage of protein source. Recently consumers, especially patients have doubts about safety of raw materials for food. To overcome these limitations, I propose an enteral nutrition formula using edible insects as a raw material.

Concentrations of Cu, Zn, Fe, Mn, Ni and Cr have been estimated in sediments of the Shitalakhya River at Polash-Ghorashal area, Narsingdi, Bangladesh. 36 samples of sediments from nine sampling point at different locations of Shitalakhya River were collected to determine the concentration of Cu, Zn, Fe, Mn, Ni, Cr and the samples were analyzed by atomic absorption spectrophotometer (AAS). The obtained results were compared with national and international guidelines. The levels of heavy metal concentrations in sediments were found to decrease in the order of Fe > Mn > Zn > Ni > Cu > Cr, respectively. The heavy metal concentration in sediment of Shitalakhya was below the recommended safe limits of heavy metals by WHO, FAO and other international standards. Contamination factor (CF) of Zn and Cu at sampling point Fsd2 show higher (> 1) values due to the influence of external discrete sources like wastage catalysts of ZnO and CuO. Geo-accumulation index values of the study indicate as non-contaminated to moderately contaminate.

최근 기후 변화로 인한 기상이변으로 인해 가뭄의 심도와 지속시간이 길어져 이로 인한 피해가 가중되고 있다. 본 연구는 국가 물 관리에 필요한 증발산량 자료 생산과 특성을 분석할 목적으로 수행되었으며, 본 연구 결과는 국가 물 관리 및 가뭄 분석 등에 활용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다. 2010년 국토교통부에서는 "국가수문관측망"에 증발산량 관측소를 포함하여 증발산량 자료가 정기적으로 생산될 수 있게 하였다. 계획수립 이후 일정기간 동안은 관측 방법과 품질관리 방법 등의 체계화되지 않아 전국적으로 확대되지 못하다가 최근에 와서 확대 설치되고 있다. 현재에는 증발산량 관측소가 한강수계 4개소, 금강수계 2개소, 영산강수계 3개소에서 운영되고 있다. 국토교통부 증발산량 관측소는 에디공분산 방식으로 구축되어 있으며, 자료는 30분 간격으로 생산되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 설마천 관측소의 3개년(2015년~2017년) 자료로 산지 증발산량의 경년 변화를 분석하였다. KoFlux 표준화 프로그램(spike 제거, 밀도 보정 등)으로 자료를 처리하였으며, 자료 보충(Gap-filling)은 FAO-PM, MDV, Kalman Filter 방법으로 수행하였다. 설마천 관측소에서 증발산량을 산정하여 산지 증발산량의 경년변화를 분석한 결과, 증발산량은 강수량과 순복산량의 규모에 따라 상이하였다. 또한 비교적 강수량이 적은 해에 증발산 비율이 커지는 특성을 나타내었다. 이는 가뭄 시 증발산을 왕성하게 하는 환경이 조성되어 발생되는 것으로 분석되었다.

Background: Salmonella enteritidis (SE) was the main cause of the pandemic of foodborne salmonellosis. The surface of eggs' shells can be contaminated with this bacterium; however, washing them with sodium hypochlorite solution not only reduces their flavor but also heavily impacts the environment. An alternative to this is surface sterilization using low-energy electron beam. It is known that irradiation with 1 kGy resulted in a significant 3.9 log reduction (reduction factor of 10,000) in detectable SE on the shell. FAO/IAEA/WHO indicates irradiation of any food commodity up to an overall average dose of 10 kGy presents no toxicological hazard. On the other hand, the Food and Drug Administration has deemed a dose of up to 3 kGy is allowable for eggs. However, the maximum dose permitted to be absorbed by an edible part (i.e., internal dose) is 0.1 Gy in Japan and 0.5 Gy in European Union. Materials and Methods: The electron beam (EB) depth dose distribution in the eggshell was calculated by the Monte Carlo method. The internal dose was also estimated by Monte Carlo simulation and experimentation. Results and Discussion: The EB depth dose distribution for the eggshells indicated that acceleration voltages between 80 and 200 kV were optimal for eggshell sterilization. It was also found that acceleration voltages between 80 and 150 kV were suitable for reducing the internal dose to ≤ 0.10 Gy. Conclusion: The optimum irradiative conditions for sterilizing only eggshells with an EB were between 80 and 150 kV.

We investigated the molecular and morphological traits of 338 individual macrourids collected from the Southern Ocean (FAO area number, 88.1 and 88.3) between 2021 and 2022 by Korean bottom trawls. We first identified them as Macrourus caml and Macrourus whitsoni based on morphological traits, such as the number of pelvic fin rays (PF) and the rows of lower jaw teeth (LJT). However four individuals showed uncategorizable morphological characteristics such as PF and LJT numbers that overlapped between the two species. Subsequently, we obtained and analyzed 509 bp of the mtDNA COI sequences of 49 individuals, including the four unidentified individuals, and found only one single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) that distinguished the two species. Finally, using our molecular identification key, we confirmed that each two individuals were misidentified as M. whitsoni and M. caml reversely. Our results suggest that the number of PF and LJT should be investigated together to accurately identify the two species.

Agriculture plays an industrial and economic role, as well as an environmental and ecological conservation role, group harmony and the inheritance of traditional culture. However, no matter how advanced the industry is, the basic food necessary for human life can only be produced through the photosynthesis of plants with natural resources such as the sun, water, and air. The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) predicts that the world's population will increase by another 2 billion people by 2050, and it faces a myriad of complex and diverse factors to consider, including climate change, food security concerns, and global ecosystems and political factors. In particular, in order to solve problems such as increasing productivity and production of agricultural products, improving quality, and saving energy, it is difficult to solve them with traditional farming methods. Recently, with the wind of the 4th industrial revolution, ICT convergence technology and artificial intelligence have been rapidly developing in many fields, but it is also true that the application of new technologies is somewhat delayed due to the unique characteristics of agriculture. However, in recent years, as ICT and artificial intelligence utilization technologies have been developed and applied by many researchers, a revolution is also taking place in agriculture. This paper summarizes the current state of research so far in four categories of agriculture, namely crop cultivation environment management, soil management, pest management, and irrigation management, and smart farm research data that has recently been actively developed around the world.

The main objective of this study was to setup model and evaluate the model performance for streamflow simulation in Burundi using Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) model. The total area of Burundi is 27,834 ㎢. The elevation of Burundi ranges from 780 m to 2,700m. The West and East are low lands, while the Central part is high land. The topographic data (30 meters Digital Elevation Model) and land use and land cover data of Burundi were obtained respectively from Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) and the Regional Centre for Mapping of Resources for Development (RCMRD). The soil data used was obtained from Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO). The local weather data and discharge data were provided by Burundi Hydro meteorological Service (IGEBU). Mean Areal Precipitation (MAP) and Mean Areal Temperature (MAT) were estimated. The streamflow simulation was done for the period 1980-2017. The calibration and validation of river discharge was performed at a daily time step from 2005 through 2011 as the calibration period and 2012 up to 2017 as the validation period. The findings show that streamflow decreases during Jun to September and increases during March to May and October to December.
