This study was carried out to investigate the applicability of PVC membrane-based ion-selective electrodes for macronutrients (K, Ca, and N) by measuring of potassium, calcium, nitrate ions in hydroponic nutrient solution. The capabilities of two ion-selective membranes with varying chemical compositions for each ion were evaluated in terms of sensitivity, selectivity, and lifetime to choose sensing elements suitable for measuring typical ranges of nutrient concentrations in hydroponic solutions. The selected calcium and nitrate ion-selective membranes showed effectively sensitive responses to calcium and nitrate ions with lifetimes of 25 and 15 days, respectively. The addition of a cation additive to the potassium membrane cocktail allowed its sensitivity to be increased whereas its lifetime was reduced from 30 days to 10 days.

This paper describes and assesses the parameterisation of MP, the microplankton compartment of the carbon­nitrogen microplankton­detritus model. The compartment is 'the microbial loop in a box' and includes pelagic bacteria and protozoa as well as phytoplankton. The paper presents equations and parameter values for the autotroph and microheterotroph components of the microplankton. Equations and parameter values for the microplankton as a whole are derived on the assumption of a constant 'heterotroph fraction'. The autotroph equations of MP allow variation in the ratios of nutrient elements to carbon, and are largely those of the 'cell­quota, threshold­limitation' algal growth model, which can deal with potential control of growth by several nutrients and light. The heterotroph equations, in contrast, assume a constant elemental composition. Nitrogen is used as the limiting nutrient in most of the model description, and is special in that MP links chlorophyll concentration to the autotroph nitrogen quota.

Development of crops with high quality as well as various beneficial functions is necessary to satisfy consumers being interested in their health and to enhance a competitiveness in the international market of agricultural products. What we have achieved so far from our research on crop quality was not sufficient since we often neglected sensory feature of crop products such as eating quality but in many cases, we put more emphases on nutrient contents, physico-chemical properties, and out-appearing features of the products. Therefore developments of sensory elements and technique for evaluation with a priority given to eating quality of each of an individual crop are important and very urgent to be solved in Korea. An endeavor to develop bioactive crops is necessary and resonable but aspects of both productivity and economy with a special emphasis on the original purposes such as production of energy and nutrient for human life must be considered. The development of more concrete ideas for crop functionality is essential before any research goes further.

Using nitrogen as the limiting nutrient, the default version of a microplankton-detritus model linked chlorophyll concentration to the autotroph nitrogen. However, phosphorus dynamics were added to simulate the results of a microcosm experiment. Using standard parameter values with a single value of microheterotroph fraction in the microplankton taken from the observed range, the best simulation successfully captured the main features of the time-courses of chlorophyll and particulate organic carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus, with root-mean-square error equivalent to 29% of particulate concentration. A standard version of microbiological model assumes complete internal cycling of nutrient elements; adding a term for ammonium and phosphate excretion by microheterotrophs did not significantly improve predictions. Relaxing the requirement for constant microheterotroph fraction resulted in an autotroph-heterotroph model AH, with dynamics resembling those of a Lotka-Volterra predator-prey system. AH fitted the microcosm data worse than did MP, justifying the suppression of Lotka-Volterra dynamics in MP. The paper concludes with a discussion of possible reasons for the success of the simple bulk dynamics of MP in simulating microplankton behaviour.

The nutrient elements which are used in forest fertilization vary from country to country. The development of forest fertilization is influenced by different national interests and/or economic situtations. The fertilized area/year of each country is shown. As one can see, Korea will have one of the largest fertilized forest area in the world. Nevertheless, attention needs to be paid from the technical viewpoint, since the development has been very rapid. The fertilization techniques, kinds of nutrient element, amounts of dosage, types of fertilizers, estimation of their efficiency, leaf analysis, ecological or physiological aspects of forest fertilization, tree species, wood qualities, forest vegetation, damages such as deseases, insects, frost, wind and snow, are discussed in relation to forest fertilization. Finally, the problem of eutrophication of water is discussed. The technical assessment will become necessary in introducing new techniques into the field.

오이 관비재배용으로 개발된 배양액의 적합성 여부를 판정하기 위해 관행 시비, 개발 관비용 배양액 및 Yamasaki 오이 배양액에 따른 토성의 화학성 변화, 생육 특성 및 과실 수량을 조사하였다. 잎의 광합성 및 증산율은 정식 48일째에는 개발 배양액 중 3/2배액과 Yamasaki오이 배양액 중 1/2 배액에서 높았으나 관행시비와 차이를 나타내지 않았다. 그러나 생육 후기에는 광합성은 개발 및 Yamasaki 오이 배양액 모두 3/2배액에서 높았고 관행시비와 큰 차이를 나타냈으나, 증산율은 개발 배양액의 3/2배액과 Yamasaki오이 배양액의 1/2과 1배액에서 높았고 관행시비와 차이를 나타내지 않았다. 그리고 오이 생장량과 과실수량은 관행시비보다 개발 배양액과 Yamasaki 오이 배양액에서 좋았고 두 배양액간에는 뚜렷한 차이를 나타내지 않았다. 잎의 무기성분도 Ca를 제외하고 유사한 경향이었다. 처리 전 토양과 비교하여 pH는 모든 배양액에서 낮아지고, EC는 다소 상승하는 경향이었고, P K, Ca 및 Mg의 축적 정도는 고농도로 급액할수록 큰 경향이었다. 따라서 개발된 배양액은 오이 관비재배용으로 적합한 것으로 생각된다.

To elucidate nutrient cyclings such as nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium in mongolian oak(quercus mongolica) forest, nutrient elements of precipitation, throughfall, outflow, soil, various plant organ and litter were determined at mt.nambyeongsan, pyeongchang-gun, gangwon province in central part of korean peninsula. Annual precipitation input, throughfall and outflow of nutrientswere 10.3, 8.6 and 4.2 kg/ha for the N, 0.11, 0.24 and 0.02 kg/ha for the Pand 1.3, 10.9 and 1.2 kg/ha for the K, respectively. Inseasonal changes of nutrient concentrations, N, P and Kconcentrations which were rich in young leaves decreased steadily until autumn and decreased abruptly during autumnal yellowing. The standing N, P and K concent were 565, 37 and 257 kg/ha for standing phytomass of overstory, 33, 3 and 18 kg/ha for understory, 132, 3.6 and 14 kg/ha for litter on ground including deadwood and 20, 752, 14 and 420 kg/ha for the soil, respectively. The amounts of annual uptake, reture and retain were 174.2, 57.2, 117.2 kg/ha for the N, 9.9, 3.5, 6.4 kg/ha for the P and 73.2, 30.3, 42.9 kg/ha for the K, respectively. Reabsorption efficiency, ratio of the nutrient amount reabsorbed into woody organs to that in the mature leaves before shedding, was 71%(or 99.8 kg/ha in the amount), 69%(or 5.1 kg/ha) and 57%(or 33.1% kg/ha) and recycling coeffciently made with which the large amount of nutrients is absorbed through roots during growing season(UPTAKE) and reasorbed from the leaves before shedding(RETAIN) but the small amount of nutrients is returned through litterfall(RETURN).

We produced a basic system of sterilization of nutrient solution based on the characteristics of coated filter with the visible light-reactive titanium oxide photocatalyst according to the findings of the first stage. We developed a model system with a proper number and arrangement of filter elements, the visible light-reactive titanium oxide photocatalyst according to findings from the basic performance test. Main results of this study were as followers; The ceramic filters showed the best performance of sterilization of nutrient solution. The visible light-reactive titanium oxide photocatalyst sterilized more effectively the nutrient solution under the sunlight than UV light. The sterilization performance by passing repeatedly through a few filter was more efficient than that by treating simultaneously with a large number of filters. The filter with 15ppi in pore size, 20 mm in thickness, and 3 layers in titanium oxide coating was desirable in the intensity and sterilization performance.

본 시험은 순환식 수경재배시 배양액조성이 배양액 내 다량원소 농도의 변화 및 오이 생육에 미치는 영향을 구명하고자 수행되었다. 네 가지 배양액조성, 즉 일본 원시 배양액, 야마자키 오이 배양액, PBG 오이 순환식 배양액 및 원예원 오이 순환식 배양액이 급액되는 순환식 펄라이트 수경재배시스템에서 오이('조은백다다기' 품종)를 재배하였다. 네 가지 배양액조성 처리구 모두에서 순환배양액내 $NO_{3^-}N$, $Ca^{2+}$, $Mg^{2+}$ 및 $SO_{4^-}S$의 농도는 정식후일수가 진전됨에 따라 증가되었고 $NH_{4^-}N$의 농도는 점차적으로 감소되었다. 순환배양액내 $PO_{4^-}P$와 $K^+$의 농도는 과실수확 개시기부터 과실수확 최성기까지 계속적으로 감소되었다. 순환배양액내 $NO_{3^-}N$, $NH_{4^-}N$ 및 $Ca^{2+}$의 농도는 배양액조성 간에 큰 차이를 나타내지 않았다. 그러나, 야마자키 배양액을 이용한 오이 순환식 수경재배 시에 다른 세 가지 배양액조성에 비하여 $PO_{4^-}P$와 K^+$의 농도는 가장 낮아지고 $Mg^{2+}$와 $SO_4^{2-}$의 농도는 가장 높아지는 결과를 나타내었다. 엽수를 제외한 작물 생육은 배양액조성 간에 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았다. 그러나, 오이의 과수와 과실수량은 야마자키 배양액조성 처리에서 가장 적었는데, 그것은 순환배양액내 $PO_{4^-}P$와 $K^+$의 농도가 낮게 유지되었기 때문이다.

Ebb and flow저면관수 시스템에서 배양액 농도에 따른 칼랑코에(Kalanchoe blossfeldiana 'New Alter')의 생육단계별 생육특성, 양분흡수율 및 배지의 양분집적 상태를 조사하였다. 생육단계별 배양액 농도 처리(EC 0.8, 1.6, 2.4, $3.2dS{\cdot}m^{-1}$)에 따른 작물 생육은 유의한 차이가 있었다. 1, 3, 5, 8, 11주 처리 후에 작물 생육을 조사한 결과, 5주 후부터 처리 별 차이가 매우 컸고, 각 생육단계에서 생장이 가장 양호하였던 처리구는 EC $1.6dS{\cdot}m^{-1}$이었으며, 엽면적, 초장, 건물중은 EC $2.4dS{\cdot}m^{-1}$을 지나 EC $3.2dS{\cdot}m^{-1}$에서 급격히 감소하는 현상을 보였다. 칼랑코에 각 생육단계에서 생장이 가장 양호하였던 EC $1.6dS{\cdot}m^{-1}$처리구에 대해 양분흡수 특성을 조사한 결과 무기이온의 흡수율은 생육단계별 다소 차이가 있었으나 $NO_3$-N가 가장 크고 $Mg^{2+}$가 가장 낮게 나타났다. 배양액 농도 처리구에서 배지 위치 별 EC를 조사한 결과 배지 상층부의 EC는 하층부 EC보다 1-3배 높았고 또한 생육이 진행됨에 따라 배지 상층부 및 하층부에서 집적되는 무기양분의 누적량이 증가되었으며 집적량이 많은 EC $3.2dS{\cdot}m^{-1}$처리구에서는 작물의 생장을 억제시키는 효과가 나타난 것으로 분석되었다. 따라서 EBB저면관수 시스템에서는 배양액의 EC에만 의존할 것이 아니라 배지 내 양분 집적을 고려하여 배양액 공급 시 조성 및 농도를 결정할 필요가 있다.
