블루베리의 소과비율 증가는 시장 경쟁력 하락과 수확생산성 악화로 농가의 채산성을 악화시킨다. 본 연구는 래빗아이 블루베리를 대상으로 적화 시기, 방법에 따른 과실특성, 생산성을 구명하여 농가현장에 적용하고자 수행하였다. 시험수는 8년생 'Brightwell'를 주 대상으로 하였으며, 수분수로 'Powderblue'를 사용하였다. 엽과비에 따른 과실크기 분포는 착과량이 다양한 127주의 'Brightwell'을 대상으로, 주당 1개의 결과모지를 선정하여 잎과 과실수를 계수하였다. 적화시기에 따른 효과 구명을 위해 꽃눈 발달 단계별로 구분하여 착화량의 50%를 제거하였고, 이때 소요되는 시간과 과실특성을 조사, 비교하였다. 블루베리 과중과 당도는 엽과비와 같은 경향으로 증가했으며, 직경 13 mm미만, 이상으로 구분한 과실크기 분포비율은 엽과비 2.5수준에서 반전되었다. 꽃눈 발달단계별 손 적화 속도는 만개기(Full bloom) 적화가 가장 빨랐으며, 발아초기(Bud swell) 적화가 가장 늦었다. 적화시기에 따른 과중과 직경 13 mm 미만 소과비율은 조사품종 모두 무 적화와 비교해 뚜렷한 차이를 나타냈으나 주당 수량은 유의차가 없었다. 소과비율은 두 품종 모두 적화시기가 늦을수록 증가하는 경향이었으며, 낙화기(Petal fall) 적화는 무적화와 유사한 결과를 나타냈다. 누적 수확량 90%에 도달한 시점은 'Brightwell'은 만개기(Full bloom) 적화, 'Powderblue'는 발아초기(Bud swell), 만개기(Full bloom) 적화처리에서 가장 빨리 도달했다. 이는 무 적화와 비교하여 수확이 각각 25일, 20일 빨랐다. 따라서 본 연구는 적화 정도에 따른 효과는 품종에 따라 차이가 있지만, 적화는 조기 집약수확과 대과비율 및 수확생산성 증가에 효과적이었음을 확인하였고, 적화효율성을 높이기 위해서는 만개기(Full bloom) 전에 결과지 선단 화총의 하단부 꽃눈을 제거하는 것이 효과적일 것으로 사료된다.

This study was conducted to investigate days after anthesis (DAA) and fruit after-ripening period (FAP) for seed-harvesting of high quality watermelon seeds. Fruit weight and number of seed per fruit increased according to DAA, while those did not significant about FAP. Ratio of cotyledon at whole seed was higher about 2 to 4% compared to seed coat irrespective of DAA and FAP. Germinability of watermelon was not a significant effect by DAA, however, it had differences by FAP. Percent of germination (PB) was below 50%, when 30 days maturated fruits after anthesis was omitted ripening, while PB was increased to 92% by ripening. In addition, seeds at DAA 40 and FAP 20 were higher general seedling vigors (hypocotyl length, diameter etc.) in BP test. Results indicated that considering seed productivity, it had maximized seed viability at DAA 40 and FAP 20.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the farms growing domestic kiwi fruit 'Gold' on their management performance and efficiency in order to reduce the risks involved with introducing new kind of crops for growing, and suggest improvements. First, the result of analysis showed that domestic kiwi fruit 'Gold' growers' income were higher than the average growers due to the fruit's high unit price and productivity. Second, the analysis of management efficiency resulted in scale efficiency having greater impact on inefficiency rather than pure technical efficiency. As for the analysis of technical efficiency, the depreciation costs of agricultural facilities had the greatest influence on its inefficiency. Third, inefficient farms put in excessive inputs across the board, while labor costs(self labor cost + hired labor cost) were the largest factor of optimal inputs according to the models of technical efficiency and pure technical efficiency. Fourth, because of greater reliance on mechanical tools from rising labor costs, there's a need for individual farms to avoid buying farming equipments and instead share the equipments of nearby farms and agricultural cooperatives, or start renting agricultural machines from companies.

This study evaluated the impact of rain shelters made of plastic film on spring frost damage and fruit quality in Asian pears ('Niitaka') over two years. In 2021, during the coldest spring days (between 0:00 am and 7:00 am), temperatures dropped to -1.20 - 0.43℃ at 120 cm and -1.33 - 0.57℃ at 200 cm above ground level in the control. Conversely, the rain shelter treatment maintained higher temperatures, -0.40 - 0.87℃ at 120 cm and -0.43 - 0.77℃ at 200 cm. Flower damage was significantly lower in the rain-sheltered group, with incidences of 1.3 and 6.9% at 120 and 200 cm, respectively, compared with 18.1 and 22.6% in the control group. Visual observations verified the prevention of frost adhesion on flower organs in the sheltered group, compared with noticeable pistil death and petal browning in the control group. In 2022, when temperatures remained above 0℃, fruitlet stalk length was 5 - 6 mm longer in the sheltered group. The cumulative impact of rain shelters was evident in the improved fruit quality over the two years. This study suggests resilient cultivation strategies in the face of climate change to reduce frost damage, increase productivity, improve fruit quality, and potentially increase incomes of the farmers.

Purposes: This study was to validate the Robotic Smart Work System that can provides better working conditions and high productivity in unstructured environments like bio-industry, based on a tele-operation system for fruit harvesting with low cost 3-D positioning system on the laboratory level. Methods: For the Robotic Smart Work System for fruit harvesting and cultivation management in agriculture, a vision based tele-operating system and 3-D position information are key elements. This study proposed Robotic Smart Farming, an agricultural version of Robotic Smart Work System, and validated a 3-D position information system with a low cost omni camera and a laser marker system in the lab environment in order to get a vision based tele-operating system and 3-D position information. Results: The tasks like harvesting of the fixed target and cultivation management were accomplished even if there was a short time delay (30 ms ~ 100 ms). Although automatic conveyor works requiring accurate timing and positioning yield high productivity, the tele-operation with user's intuition will be more efficient in unstructured environments which require target selection and judgment. Conclusions: This system increased work efficiency and stability by considering ancillary intelligence as well as user's experience and knowhow. In addition, senior and female workers will operate the system easily because it can reduce labor and minimized user fatigue.

A Cultivation method to minimize the damage caused by high temperatures was studied by investigating the effects of groundwater cooling treatment on the growth, yield, and quality of strawberries. In the groundwater cooling treatment, the daily average temperature of the rhizosphere was reduced from $26.9^{\circ}C$ to $24.9^{\circ}C$. The root length increased by 0.3-9.2 cm, depending on the cultivar and growth period. The leaf number, leaf area, leaf length, leaf diameter, and plant height also increased, especially in the cultivars 'Seolhyang' and 'Maehyang', resulting in higher fresh and dry weights. The number of fruit per plant increased from 7.7 to 12.5 in 'Seolhyang', and the fruit weight increased by 0.3 g in 'Seolhyang' and 1.3 g in 'Maehyang'. The fruit hardness increased, but no significant difference in fruit coloration was observed. The sugar content of the fruit was improved by $0.2-0.3^{\circ}Brix$. Therefore, groundwater cooling of the rhizosphere was effective in improving the growth and productivity of strawberries under abnormally high temperature conditions and can be considered a cost-efficient cooling system.
