Studies have been conducted for the purpose of using manganese nodule and residue remained after extracting valuable metals [mm it as the adsorbent of cadmium wastewater. The study observed the adsorption percentage according to initial cadmium concentration and interpreted each adsorption systems by applying the Freundlich, Langmuir, and Temkin isotherms. The adsorption amounts increased as the initial concentration at cadmium ion increased, whereas the adsorption percentage decreased. Linearity was shown when applied to the Freundlich and Langmuir isotherms. The k value which evaluates the adsorption capacity of adsorbent in Freundlich isotherm, turned out to be 11.72, the highest in case of manganese nodule. The Xm value, the maximum adsorption amount of the adsorbate that adsorbs as a monolayer in Langmuir isotherm of manganese nodule, was estimated as 0.16, representing higher value compared with those of leached residue, leached residue-raw manganese nodule mixture, and activated carbon.

The soil residual amount of herbicides nitralin and napropamide was determined in 6 winter crops field using a chemical assay method. Chemical analysis on soil residue revealed that a relatively high amount of nitralin was detected between 150 and 200 days after treament(DAT). However, regardless of soil types the residue at 220 DAT ranged from 0.053 to 0.141ppm and from 0.134 to 0.308ppm, at the rate of 75 and 150 g a.i./10a, respectively. The residue of napropamide applied at the rate of 75 g a.i./l0a ranged from 0.006 to 0.072ppm at 150 DAT, but not detectable at 220 DAT. When application rate increased to 150 g a.i./10a, napropamide residue was between 0.005 and 0.16ppm at 150 DAT and less than 0.004ppm at 200 DAT, and was not detected at 220 DAT, irrespective of soil types. The results of chemical analysis for the two herbicides showed a similar trend to those obtained from the experiments in agar medium and fields.

The physicochemical properties and schizandrin contents of various solvent ($H_2O$, 50% EtOH, 75% EtOH, 95% EtOH) extracts from residue after Omija juice was investigated using total polyphenol contents (TOC), 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) free radical scavenging activity (RAS), anthocyanin contents (ANC), and schizandrin contents level (SCL). Total polyphenol contents, radical scavenging activity, and anthocyanin contents of 50% EtOH extract were the highest among all residue after Omija juice extracts, and was 16.70 mg/mL in the TOC and 86.16% in the DPPH-RAS. This meant that 50% EtOH extract from residue after Omija juice had more available antioxidant matters. As extraction time increases all extract treatments significantly reduced in the ANC contents (p <0.05). Amount of the SCL were observed higher value in 95% EtOH extract of residue after Omija juice.

Decomposition of green manure is necessary for the nutrient supply in farm soil. Hairy vetch as a green manure is superior to other winter legumes in terms of wintering ability and N accumulation. This experiment was carried out to investigate the decomposition and N release of hairy vetch and its effect on rice production as the following crop in paddy field. Decomposition of hairy vetch placed by soil depth of 0, 10 and 20cm at transplanting time was investigated by mesh bag method, which was enclosed chopped residue in mesh bags. The fate of $^{15}$ N derived from $^{15}$ N-labeled hairy vetch was investigated at harvest in three levels of N fertilization. Grain yield of the transplanted paddy rice cultured with hairy vetch as starter N were compared with that of applying urea as starter N in the field. Hairy vetch residue decomposed very rapidly both in transplanted and dry-seeded paddy field. In transplanted paddy field, hairy vetch residue lost 72-81 % and 86-90% of its weight after one and five month, respectively, as affected by incorporation depth. The C/N ratio of the decomposing vetch residue increased sharply during the early stages and after then, decreased slowly. The amounts of N and P released from the vetch were about 90% and 97% of initial content after one month, respectively. Recoveries of hairy vetch-$^{15}$ N by rice plant were 30.6, 34.6 and 35.7% in 0, 6 and 12 kg urea-N 10 $a^{-l}$ application, respectively, indicating that N fertilization increased the recovery of hairy vetch. $^{15}$ N. Hairy vetch residue incorporated as starter maintained significant N $H_4$$^{+}$-N concentration in soil water of plow layer until effective tillering stage. Grain yield in the plot applied with hairy vetch was not significantly different from that in the plot with urea. We concluded that hairy vetch incorporation could substitute starter N fertilization and showed possibility to reduce N amount of top-dressing.g.g.

BACKGROUND: Mathematical model such as GLEAMS have been developed and successfully applied to upland fields to estimate the level of pesticide residues in soil. But, the GLEAMS model rarely applied to the Korean conditions. METHODS AND RESULTS: To evaluate pesticide transport in soil residue using the GLEAMS model from pepper plot, Alachlor, Endosulfan, Cypermethrin and Fenvalerate were applied for standard and double rate. Soil sampling was conducted and decaying patterns of pesticides were investigated. Observed climate data such as temperature and irrigation amount were used for hydrology simulation. The observed pesticide residue data of 2008 were used for parameter calibration, and validation of GLEAMS model was conducted with observed data of 2009. After calibration, the $K_{oc}$ (Organic carbon distribution coefficient) and WSHFRC (Washoff fraction) parameters were identified as key parameters. The simulated concentrations of the pesticides except Fenvalerate were sensitive to $K_{oc}$ parameter. Overall, soil residue concentrations of Alachlor, Cypermethrin and Fenvalerate were fairly simulated compared to those of Endosulfan. The applicability of the GLEAMS model was also confirmed by statistical analysis. CONCLUSION(s): GLEAMS model was eligible for evaluation of pesticide soil residue for Alachlor, Cypermethrin and Fenvalerate.

To isolate and analyze bacteria with Verticillium wilt-resistant properties from the fermentation residue of kitchen wastes, as well as explore their potential for new applications of the residue. A total of six bacterial strains exhibiting Verticillium wilt-resistant capabilities were isolated from the biogas residue of kitchen waste fermentation. Using a polyphasic approach, strain ZL6, which displayed the highest antagonistic activity against cotton Verticillium wilt, was identified as belonging to the Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Bioassay results demonstrated that this strain possessed robust antagonistic abilities, effectively inhibiting V. dahliae spore germination and mycelial growth. Furthermore, P. aeruginosa ZL6 exhibited high temperature resistance (42℃), nitrogen fixation, and phosphorus removal activities. Pot experiments revealed that P. aeruginosa ZL6 fermentation broth treatment achieved a 47.72% biological control effect compared to the control group. Through activity tracking and protein mass spectrometry identification, a neutral metalloproteinase (Nml) was hypothesized as the main virulence factor. The mutant strain ZL6ߡNml exhibited a significant reduction in its ability to inhibit cotton Verticillium wilt compared to the strain P. aeruginosa ZL6. While the inhibitory activities could be partially restored by a complementation of nml gene in the mutant strain ZL6CMߡNml. This research provides a theoretical foundation for the future development and application of biogas residue as biocontrol agents against Verticillium wilt and as biological preservatives for agricultural products. Additionally, this study presents a novel approach for mitigating the substantial amount of biogas residue generated from kitchen waste fermentation.

BACKGROUND: The present study was carried out to identify the residue patterns of insecticide pyridalyl and fungicide fluopicolide in watermelon and calculate the biological half-lives for establishing the pre-harvest residue limits (PHRLs). METHODSANDRESULTS:The watermelon samples for residue analysis were harvested 7 times during 0~10 days (Field 1) and 0~20 days (Field 2) after treatment of pesticides on watermelon in two different fields at the recommended dose, respectively. The residue analysis was conducted with HPLC/UVD. The method limit of quantitation (MLOQ) were set at 0.05 and 0.02 mg/kg, respectively, and overall mean recoveries were 81.2~90.5% for pyridalyl and fluopicolide. The residues in sample were stable for 43~47 days. The initial residue amount in field 1 and 2 were 0.12~0.16 mg/kg for pyridalyl and 0.23~0.24 mg/kg for fluopicolide, which were below maximum residue limit (MRL). The biological half-lives in field 1 and 2 were 26.9 and 17.9 days for pyridalyl and 16.6 and 94.2 days for fluopicolide, respectively. CONCLUSION: The PHRL for watermelon were estimated as 0.21 and 1.03 mg/kg for pyridalyl and flopicolide at 10 days before harvesting. The residue patterns of pyridalyl and fluopicolide were characterized by a very slow decrease of residue levels in watermelon.

This study was carried out to investigate physical and chemical characteristics of the distillates and residue of Athabasca oilsand bitumen obtained from Canada, using a vacuum distillation unit. The distillates and residue produced from the vacuum distillation were characterized through atomic analysis, SARA analysis, and measurement of boiling point distribution, molecular weight, and API gravity. The vacuum distillation equipment consisted of a 6-litter volume vessel, a glass-packed column, a condenser, a reflux device, a flask fer collecting distillates, and a temperature controller. The cutting of distillates was performed with four steps under the condition of full vacuum and maximum temperature of $320^{\circ}C$. The results showed that the sulfur amount and average molecular weight of the distillates were significantly reduced compared to those of oilsand bitumen. As the cutting temperature increased, the hydrogen amount decreased but the sulfur amount and average molecular weight increased in the distillates.

Trifloxystrobin standard was analyzed by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The recovery of the trifloxystrobin and it's metabolite CGA321113 were $84.6{\sim}95.3%$ and $86.4{\sim}87.3%$ and their detection limits for both of them were 0.04 mg $kg^{-1}$. In case of foliar application in the chinese cabbage (Brassica campestris L. ssp pekinnensis (Lour.) Rupr.), the amount of the residue of trifloxystrobin was above the maximum residue level (temporary MRL, 0.5 mg $kg^{-1}$) when it was treated either two times three to five days before harvest or three times three to seven days before harvest. Whereas in case of drenching the mount of the residue was below the temporary MRL, the residues in the cabbage in both the cases where the recommended amount (150 mL of the solution diluted 1500 times) and double of the amount were treated were 0.16 and 0.31 mg $kg^{-1}$, respectively. In conclusion, it should be safe to apply the trifloxystrobin (22% WP) in the soil of cabbage field abiding by the tentative recommendation level, but for the foliar application it appeared inappropriate.

The study was conducted for the safety evaluation of 320 pesticide residues in 768 Lentinula edodes fruit body samples and 143 L. edodes media samples, which are distributed nationwide in South Korea. The monitoring method was the second of the multi-residue methods in the Korean Food Code. GC-ECD, GC-NPD, and GC-MSD were used as evaluation equipment for analysis. Single-analysis of the target pesticides was performed for mepiquat chloride. Through the analysis of collected L. edodes samples, pesticide residues were detected in total seven cases, including four L. edodes fruit body samples and three L. edodes media samples. The detected pesticide residues were carbendazim, diflubenzuron, fluopyram, and dinotefuran. In this study, carbendazim was detected in three L. edodes fruit body samples and one L. edodes media sample. The detected amount of carbendazim was 0.056, 0.17, 0.043, and 0.09 mg/kg, respectively. The amount of carbendazim in the collected L. edodes samples was detected below the MRLs (maximum residue level). The detected amounts of fluopyram and dinotefuran were 0.068 mg/kg and 0.06 mg/kg, respectively. Two pesticide residues were detected in the medium in one case. Mepiquat chloride was not detected in this study. These results suggested that residual pesticides were detected in a small number of collected L. edodes. However, the PLS for unregistered pesticides MRL was 0.01 ppm; therefore, we have to conduct research on preparing safety standards for mushrooms, including L. edodes.
