This experiment was carried out to investigate the factors causing obstructions to the productivity of mulberry field on slope land, increasing the productivity of that, in Korea. These results are summerized as follows: 1. Poor fertilization and unreasonable management due to overbalance of mulberry field in scale were proved to be most important factors of them obstructing the growth of mulberry. Therefore, it is necessary to increase the amount of fertilizer and cultivate mulberry fold in reasonable scale for the development of productivity. 2. As the direction of mulberry fold on slope land are closely related to the productivity, mulberry cultivation of the eastern or southern exposure were suitable, but that of northern not. It seemed to show no difference between the cultivation in 20 degree slope land and in less than that, 300 m above sea level and below that level. 3. A depth of top soil should be more than 60 cm. 4. Rosang in varieties of mulberry tree is not suitable but Chuwoo is comparatively suitable in slope land. 5. The number of mulberry trees in planting must be more than 900 trees per 10 ares.

It was pointed out by Katagiri and Nakahama that the useful retling bacteria acted selectively on vegetable fiber materials and also they proposed that this selectivity was based on the specificity of protopectinase of the bacteria, and that the two characters might have certain parallel relation with each other. The result of the further experiments carried out by the author with mulberry-tree bark also confirmed the selectivity of some kinds of retling bacteria, but found no remarkably different action on protopectin from mulberry-tree bark. Accordingly no parallel relation between the selectivity of the retling bacteria and the specificity of the protopectinase was identified.

Though mulberry fruit is known to a by-product that was produced from mulberry tree after harvesting leaves for silkworm rearing, as a yield and consumption of mulberry fruit was increased, it has been fixing to a new income crop. But, a stable production of mulberry was issued on damage by the weather disaster, so it is requires that agricultural disaster insurance import. So, in this study as a basic research for a importation of agricultural disaster insurance, the cultivation of mulberry for the production of mulberry fruits, the shape of tree, the number of a bearing fruit from each cultivar, the occurrence of mulberry fruit sclerotic disease, and a yield and the market price of mulberry fruits were investigated and that results obtained were as follows; The number of mulberry tree each 10a was abundant in Buan and Jeongeup region that cultivated a suitable cultivar on low cut shape, however, a large cultivated Gochang region was little. The number of a bearing fruit per 1m on the branch was highest in the variety of Cheongilppong at Gochang. Yield of mulberry fruits each 10a was Cheongilppong at Gochang, followed by Iksuppong at Sangju. Average sale price of the mulberry fruits was high in the order of Gwasang No. 2, Suwonppong, Iksuppong, and Cheongilppong.

In order to clarify the effect of the time and height of cut in autumn on the occurrence of mulberry magare blight disease, mulberry fold experiment had been tarried out between the autumn 1970 and the spring 1971. The results obtained summarrized as follows. 1) In case of intermediate cutting, the occurrence of the mulberry magare blight disease and its damage showed great difference among the times to cut the tree. That is the intermediate cutting between the 9th and the 21st of September was attacked by the disease and to cut before the 3rd of September and after tile 3rd of October was not attacked by the disease. In the damage by the cut shoot time, intermediate cutting between the 15th and the 18th of September was most seriously having heavy damage and to cut before the 12th and of the 21st of September was Bight damage. 2) Heavier damage was observed in the plot cut above 30cm from the ground compared with the plot cut middle of the branches of the tree.

In this study, I investigated the species composition in the Mulberry tree cultivation area from April 2013 to March 2014 at Busan. Five genera and nine species found are as follows: Aporrectodea caliginosa (Savigny, 1826), Bimastos parvus (Eisen, 1874), Eisenia fetida (Savigny, 1826), Drawida japonica (Michaelsen, 1892), Amynthas heteropodus (Goto&Hatai, 1898), Amynthas agrestis (Goto & Hatai, 1899), Amynthas corticis (Kinberg, 1867), Amynthas hilgendorfi (Michaelsen, 1895), and Amynthas sp. A total of 317 individuals of Aporrectodea caliginosa (Savigny, 1826) was collected. Ap. caligionosa and A. heteropodus were found to be the most dominant species during the study period. Interestingly, the maximum population density of Ap. caligionosa was recorded to be in the month of October. Further details analysis indicated that, its population increased rapidly during the breeding season between summer and autumn and thereafter gradually decreased through winter toward the following February. Three growth stages of Ap. caligionosa occurred almost simultaneously with abundance composition of 76% in aclitellum, 12.6% in semiclitellum, and 11.4% in clitellum. Based on my study results, I suggest that this data could be useful for the scientific community to analyze the distribution of southern earthworm species in mulberry tree cultivation area.

The root-bark of the mulberry tree has been used as a medicine with antitussive, antiphlogistic, diuretic etc. in Korea. Among many kinds of mulberry trees, Morus Lhou has been widely cultivated in our country. In this experiment, three substances were obtained from the root-bark of Morus Lhou removed its cork layer by column chromatography of methanol extract. One of the substances was supposed as ${\alpha}$-amyrin acetate, another was alyceride, the other was confirmed as ${\beta}$-sistosterol by chemical and physical methods.

The study was carried out to examine effect of cadmium spraying on mulberry leaves on the growth and metabolism of mulberry tree.The results obtained were as follow:1. Brown spot were appeared on the leaves as the symptoms of damage and the damage was remarkable with higher concentration of cadmium.2. Higher concentration of Cd inhibited the length and diameter of mulberry branches with a significant difference (P<0.05) for the length. The growth of branch length in both 5 and 7 ppm treatment of Cd was inhibited by 31% compared with the control. 3. Cadimum concentration of mulberry barks was noticeably lower than that of leaves. 4. Cadimum concentration over 3ppm inhibited significantly chlorophyll content, activitsies of respiration, glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase (GOT), glutamic pyruvic transase (GPT) and adenocine triphosphate (APT). 5. The lowest concentration of cadmium was identified to be 3ppm to incur the inhibitory effect on the growth and metabolism of mulberry and cadmium content of mulberry leaves at the concentration was 13.86ppm.

The leaves (Mori Folium; MF), branches (Mori Ramulus; MR), and root bark (Mori Cortex Radicis; MCR) of the mulberry tree have been used as therapeutic herbs for centuries. Existing analytical methods were developed specifically for different parts of the tree and cannot be applied to samples containing a mixture of tree parts. Such method specialization is time-consuming and requires separate identification and quality control of each tree part. This report describes an HPLC method for the simultaneous quality control and discrimination of MF, MR, and MCR using four marker compounds: rutin, kuwanon G, oxyresveratrol, and morusin. An Optimapak $C_{18}$ column ($4.6{\times}250mm$, $5{\mu}m$) was used with a gradient elution of 0.1 % formic acid in water and acetonitrile. The flow rate was 1.0 mL/min and the detection wavelength was 270 nm. In quantitative analyses of the three parts, rutin (0.11 % w/w) was detected only in MF. The oxyresveratrol content (0.12 % w/w) was highest in MR. Kuwanon G (0.33 % w/w) and morusin (0.18 % w/w) were higher in MCR than in other parts. The HPLC method given herein can be used to simultaneously classify and quantify three herbal medicines from the mulberry tree.

Two experiments were conducted to evaluate the nutritional value of common fodder tree leaves with goats fed at 50% of total ration. In experiment 1, leaves from six fodder tree species i.e., Ailanthus aitissima, Elaeagnus angustifolic, Morus alba (Mulberry), Populus spp, Robina pseudoacacia and Salix babylonia were harvested in spring and winter from northern areas of Pakistan. Chemical composition and apparent in situ dry matter digestibility (DMD) of fodder tree leaves were measured. Results showed that crude protein (CP) values were higher (p<0.05) in all the species during spring compared to winter (17.9% vs 12.0%). The concentration of NDF in Elaeagnus and Robinia was higher in spring, whereas no seasonal difference was found in other species. In situ DMD was higher (p<0.05) in Ailanthus and Populus at spring while it was higher (p<0.05) in Elaeagnus, Mulberry and Robinia at winter. There was no (p<0.05) seasonal effect on in situ DMD of Salix. In experiment II, four iso-nitrogenous and iso-caloric rations viz., A, B, C and D were prepared containing 50% (winter harvested) sun dried leaves of Salix, Robinia, Mulberry and Elaeagnus, respectively and 50% concentrate. Dry matter and crude protein intakes were higher (p<0.05) given ration A (Salix) whereas DM and CP digestibility was lowest (p<0.05) given ration B. Nitrogen retention was higher (p<0.05) given ration A. Goats fed on fodder tree leaves and concentrate showed moderate intake and digestibility.
