우리나라 딸기 재배는 시설 재배로 이루어지고 있으며, 대부분 농가의 급액 관리는 재배자의 경험을 토대로 타이머 제어 방식으로 이루어지고 있다. 타이머 급액 방법은 재배 환경, 작물의 생육 단계, 배지 수분 함량 등을 고려하기 어려워 작물을 최적 수준으로 관리하지 못하고, 급액 관리의 정확성이 결여되는 문제점이 있다. 적산 일사량과 배지 수분함량을 이용한 급액 방법은 작물의 생육 상태에 따라 정밀하게 양액을 공급하는 친환경적인 방법이다. 본 연구는 코이어배지를 이용한 딸기 수경재배에서 적산일사량과 배지 수분함량을 이용한 복합 급액 제어와 타이머 제어 급액 방법을 비교하고 복합 급액 제어 시 최적의 적산 일사량 기준을 설정하고자 수행하였다. 적산일사량 급액 방법은 외부 일사량을 기준으로 100, 150, 250J·cm^-2에 도달하면 자동으로 급액하며 배지 수분함량이 60% 미만이면 강제 급액하고, 1회 급액량은 50mL로 공급하였다. 타이머 제어는 대조구로 설정하였다. 급액을 개시하는 적산 일사량 기준이 작을수록 일일급액량이 많았으며 100J·cm^-2 기준 급액 시 급액량은 250J·cm^-2 처리구 대비 46% 많았다. 지상부 생체중과 건물중 모두 복합 급액 제어 방법이 타이머 제어보다 높았으며, 100, 150J·cm^-2 처리구에서 지상부 생체중이 높았고 100J·cm^-2 처리구에서 건물중이 유의하게 높은 값을 나타냈다. 수량 또한 타이머 제어 방법보다 복합 제어 방법에서 유의하게 높았으며 적산 일사량 기준이 작을수록 초기 수량이 증가하였다. 평균 과중은 타이머 제어 급액 시 가장 낮았다. 본 연구 결과 딸기의 정밀 급액 관리를 위하여 적산 일사량과 배지 수분 함량 센서를 이용한 복합 제어 활용 가능성을 확인하였다.

Background: Characterizing and describing soils and land use and make a suggestion for sustainable utilization of land resources in the Ethiopian Rift valley flat plain areas of Lake Chamo Sub-Basin (CSB) are essential. Objectives: To (1) characterize soils of experimental area according to World Reference Base Legend and assess the nature and extent of salinity problems; (2) characterize land use systems and their role in soil properties; and (3) identify best land use practices used for both environmental management and improve agricultural productivity. Methods: Twelve randomly collected soil samples were prepared from the above land uses into 120 composites and analyzed. Results: Organic carbon (OC) and total nitrogen (TN) were varied along different land uses and depleted from the surface soils. The soil units include Chernozems (41.67%), Kastanozems (25%), Solonchaks (16.67%), and Cambisols (16.67%). The identified land uses are annual crops (AA), perennial crops (PA), and natural forest (NF). Generally, organic carbon, total nitrogen, percentage base saturation (PBS), exchangeable (potassium, calcium, and magnesium), available phosphorus (P₂O₅), manganese, copper, and iron contents were decreased in cultivated soils. Soil salinity problem was observed in annuals. Annuals have less nutrient content compared to perennials in irrigated agriculture while it is greater in annuals under rainfed. Clay, total nitrogen, available phosphorus, and available potassium (K₂O) contents were correlated positively and highly significantly with organic carbon and electrical conductivity. Conclusion: Management practices that improve soil quality should be integrated with leguminous crops when the land is used for annual crops production.

The genus Laccaria (Hydnangiaceae, Agaricales) plays an important role in forest ecosystems as an ectomycorrhizal fungus, contributing to nutrient cycles through symbiosis with many types of trees. Though understanding Laccaria diversity and distribution patterns, as well as its association with host plants, is fundamental to constructing a balanced plant diversity and conducting effective forest management, previous studies have not been effective in accurately investigating, as they relied heavily on specimen collection alone. To investigate the true diversity and distribution pattern of Laccaria species and determine their host types, we used four different approaches: specimen-based analysis, open database search (ODS), NGS analysis, and species-specific PCR (SSP). As a result, 14 Laccaria species have been confirmed in Korea. Results regarding the species distribution pattern were different between specimen-based analysis and SSP. However, when both were integrated, the exact distribution pattern of each Laccaria species was determined. In addition, the SSP revealed that many Laccaria species have a wide range of host types. This study shows that using these four different approaches is useful in determining the diversity, distribution, and host of ECM fungi. Furthermore, results obtained for Laccaria will serve as a baseline to help understand the role of ECM fungi in forest management in response to climate change.

A review was undertaken to obtain information on the sustainability of pig free-range production systems including the management, performance and health of pigs in the system. Modern outdoor rearing systems requires simple portable and flexible housing with low cost fencing. Local pig breeds and outdoor-adapted breeds for certain environment are generally more suitable for free-range systems. Free-range farms should be located in a low rainfall area and paddocks should be relatively flat, with light topsoil overlying free-draining subsoil with the absence of sharp stones that can cause foot damage. Huts or shelters are crucial for protecting pigs from direct sun burn and heat stress, especially when shade from trees and other facilities is not available. Pigs commonly graze on strip pastures and are rotated between paddocks. The zones of thermal comfort for the sow and piglet differ markedly; between 12-22$^{\circ}C$ for the sow and 30-37$^{\circ}C$ for piglets. Offering wallows for free-range pigs meets their behavioural requirements, and also overcomes the effects of high ambient temperatures on feed intake. Pigs can increase their evaporative heat loss via an increase in the proportion of wet skin by using a wallow, or through water drips and spray. Mud from wallows can also coat the skin of pigs, preventing sunburn. Under grazing conditions, it is difficult to control the fibre intake of pigs although a high energy, low fibre diet can be used. In some countries outdoor sows are fitted with nose rings to prevent them from uprooting the grass. This reduces nutrient leaching of the land due to less rooting. In general, free-range pigs have a higher mortality compared to intensively housed pigs. Many factors can contribute to the death of the piglet including crushing, disease, heat stress and poor nutrition. With successful management, free-range pigs can have similar production to door pigs, although the growth rate of the litters is affected by season. Piglets grow quicker indoors during the cold season compared to outdoor systems. Pigs reared outdoors show calmer behaviour. Aggressive interactions during feeding are lower compared to indoor pigs while outdoor sows are more active than indoor sows. Outdoor pigs have a higher parasite burden, which increases the nutrient requirement for maintenance and reduces their feed utilization efficiency. Parasite infections in free-range pigs also risks the image of free-range pork as a clean and safe product. Diseases can be controlled to a certain degree by grazing management. Frequent rotation is required although most farmers are keeping their pigs for a longer period before rotating. The concept of using pasture species to minimise nematode infections in grazing pigs looks promising. Plants that can be grown locally and used as part of the normal feeding regime are most likely to be acceptable to farmers, particularly organic farmers. However, one of the key concerns from the public for free-range pig production system is the impact on the environment. In the past, the pigs were held in the same paddock at a high stocking rate, which resulted in damage to the vegetation, nutrient loading in the soil, nitrate leaching and gas emission. To avoid this, outdoor pigs should be integrated in the cropping pasture system, the stock should be mobile and stocking rate related to the amount of feed given to the animals.

자루재배에서의 효율적인 급액관리법을 규명하기 위해서, 배액 전극법, Timer법 및 적산일사량법으로 토마토 펄라이트 자루재배를 하였다. 배지의 무게변화는 배액 전극법의 경우 일사량이나 생육단계에 관계없이 일정한 범위 내에서 매우 안정적으로 유지되었다. 반면에 일사량법과 Timer법에서는 일사량과 생육단계 등에 따라 매우 변동이 심해서 안정적인 급액관리로 적합하지 않은 것으로 판단되었다. 총수량은 배액 전극법에서 가장 많았으나, 상품수량은 일사량법 이외에는 차이가 없었고, 당도에도 유의한 차이가 보이지 않았다. 생육은 배액전극법이 가장 좋았고, 일사량법과 Timer법에서 낮았다. 이상의 결과에서, 일사량법은 적절한 Timer 제어를 병행하고, 부단히 보정을 해주어야 안정적인 급액이 가능한 반면 식물의 요구에 수동적으로 대응하는 배액전극법은 급액횟수에 관계없이 안정적인 급액방법으로 나타났다.

Standing crop distribution of aquatic plants in the West Nakdong River and riparian wetlands in the Nakdong River were surveyed in May, July and September, 2010. Total 25 aquatic macrophyte species (submerged: 9, leaf-floating: 3, free-floating: 5, emergent: 8) were observed during the survey periods. Distribution area of aquatic plants and proportion of submerged communities were highest in Garakchi-deung ($212,032m^2$, 72.7%). The distribution area of aquatic plants was highest in Phragmites australis community ($421,584m^2$), followed by Hydrilla verticillata-Vallisneria natans community ($181,511m^2$), Potamogeton wrightii-Vallisneria natans community ($61,604m^2$), and Hydrocharis dubia community ($49,709m^2$). Garakch-ideung (212,032 kg) also had the highest aquatic plant production, followed by Suanchi-deung (15,546 kg), Daedong (5,813 kg), Dunchi-do (3,963 kg), Maekdo (1,463 kg), Yeommak (571 kg), Jungsa-do (530 kg), and Shinan (300 kg). Average standing crop of the study area were $147.8{\pm}20.8g\;DW{\cdot}m^{-2}$ in 1988, $96.1{\pm}20.0g\;DW{\cdot}m^{-2}$ in 2000, and $172.6{\pm}76.1g\;DW{\cdot}m^{-2}$ in 2010. For a sustainable management of river habitat and food source, aquatic plant should concurrently be surveyed with river environmental variables (i.e. sediment, nutrient, flow).

In Japan, since rice consumption has been decreasing with the westernization of Japanese eating habits, surplus paddy fields have been increasing. If these surplus paddy fields can be utilized for forage rice production as feed for animal production and excretions (feces and urine) from animal production can be applied to the paddy fields as manure, then the problems of surplus paddy fields and excretions from animal production may be solved, and the environment kept sustainable. The objectives of the present study were to apply a bio-economic model to dairy and forage rice integration systems in Japan and to examine the merit of introducing whole crop rice silage (WCRS), as well as economic and environmental effects of various economic and management options in the systems. Five simulations were conducted using this model. The use of WCRS as a home-grown feed increased environmental loads and decreased economic benefit because of the higher amount of purchased feed, when compared to the use of typical crops such as maize, alfalfa and timothy silage (simulation 1). Higher economic benefits from higher forage rice yields and higher milk production of a dairy cow were obtained (simulations 2, 3). There were no economic and environmental incentives for utilizing crude protein (CP) rich WCRS, because an increase in the CP content in WCRS led to the use of more chemical fertilizers, resulting in high production costs and nitrogen outputs (simulation 4). When evaluated under the situation of a fixed herd size, increasing forage rice yields decreased the total benefit of the production, in spite of the fact that the amount of subsidies per unit of land increased (simulation 5). It was indicated that excess subsidy support may not promote yield of forage rice. It was, however, observed in most cases that dairy and forage rice integration systems could not be economically established without subsidies.

This study aimed to determine the most suitable coir substrate mixing ratio for optimizing the growth and yield of the "lpduelkkae 1" cultivar. We comprehensively analyzed the physicochemical properties, growth, and yields of four different substrate combinations: perlite (coir with mixing ratios of 70:30 (PC30), 50:50 (PC50), and 30:70 (PC70)) and 100% coir (C100). The results revealed substantial differences in substrate properties. C100 exhibited the highest total porosity and the lowest solid phase, indicating excellent air permeability. The pH levels and electrical conductivity (EC) values ranged from 5.4-6.8 and 1.2-3.1 dS·m^-1, respectively. Leaf growth parameters, including length, width, and dry weight, showed positive correlations with high coir ratios, except for PC30. PC70 and C100 outperformed other substrates in stem growth, exhibiting superior stem diameter and fresh and dry weights. The quantity of marketable leaves was the highest in the C100 substrate. Furthermore, C100 comprised integrated levels of essential nutrients, such as Ca and Mg, owing to its high coir content. In conclusion, a coir ratio of approximately 70% (v/v) should be maintained in the substrate for creating an optimal cultivation environment. Furthermore, the selection of humidity-resistant varieties as well as precise nutrient and moisture management for different seasons and growth stages are crucial for a successful perilla leaf hydroponic cultivation.

전 세계적으로 비만인구의 증가로 인해 경제적 부담이 확대되고 있으며, 그 원인으로 육체적 활동의 감소 및 식이관리의 실패가 손꼽히고 있다. 영양성분 및 칼로리를 기반으로 한 맞춤 식단정보 제공 시스템과는 차별적으로 본 연구는 개인 맞춤형 기능성 식품을 추천하기 위해 비만 관련 SNP (single nucleotide polymorphism) 정보를 활용하였다. 본 연구를 위해 GWAS (Genome-wide association study) 분석을 수행하여 한국인 특이적인 비만 관련 SNP을 발굴하고, 이를 활용하여 유전적 정보를 입력하여 SNP genoype-phenoype 정보에 따른 맞춤 식단옴을 추천하였다. 또한 USDA (The United States Department of Agriculture) 식품 정보를 활용할 수 있도록 식품 통합 Database를 구축하여 식단 추천에 적용하였다. 그 결과, 표현형 정보 BMI (Body Mass Index)는 정상 수치를 가지고 있으나, 비만 관련 SNP 정보를 가지고 있는 샘플은 유전적 비만 위험도를 나타내어 식이관리가 필요하다는 정보를 확인하였으며, 관련 식품 정보를 제공하였다. 따라서 표현형에 따른 비만에 관한 정보와 유전형 정보가 일치하는 것은 아니며, 이는 표현형적 정보만을 이용한 비만 관리 식이 추천에는 한계가 있음을 의미하며 이러한 결과는 비만외 다른 성인병들에도 적용이 필요하며 이를 위해서는 표현형-유전적 통합정보를 기반 한 맞춤식이 추천이 필요함을 나타내었다.
