Effects of cutting media on shooting and seedling characteristics were investigated to determine productivity of seedling by root cuttings of lacquer tree. Shoots developed at 3 weeks after cut planting on PV (peat moss : Vermiculite : 1 : 1), PVS (peat moss : Vermiculite : Sand : 1 : 1 : 2) and PVSC (peat moss : Vermiculite : Sand : Clay loam : 1 : 1 : 2 : 2) media, and shooting rate was the highest in PVSC medium at 10 weeks after cut planting among the treatments. Shooting numbers per scion on PH and PVC media were 2.2 but those on HSC medium was 1.3, which was not significantly different among media. PVSC medium was suitable to use the root cuttings of lacquer tree as it meets the qualifications requirements. Seedlings on PVSC medium were excellent to transplant in field as tree height, branch number, leaf number, stem diameter and leaf area were good.

This experiment was conducted to establish a cultivation system for sorghum in reclaimed soils. Pot experiments were used to test the effects on seedling establishment of sowing depth, soil water content, and soil salinity using seeds of Nampungchal-susu and Hwanggeumchal-susu in reclaimed soil. Field experiments were also conducted to examine differences in growth characteristics and yield production, by sowing time, and planting distance. The result of the pot experiment, examining seedling establishment at various sowing depths revealed that, it was the highest 76.7% when the seeds were sown at a depth of 3 cm. Seedling establishment did not differ with soil water content between 10~30 kpa and at 51~70 kpa. No effects of seed moisture absorption before sowing were observed. Seedling establishment showed no differences with soil salinity below $3.2\;dS\;m^{-1}$, but decreased with Salinity above $4.8\;dS\;m^{-1}$. In field experiments to assess the effects on seedling establishment ratio of sowing time, Nampungchal-susu was revealed to have a high seedling establishment ratio following sowing on June 15. Hwanggeumchal-susu did not exhibits effects of sowing time, on seedling establishment ratio but exhibited higher seedling establishment when in low soil salinity conditions than when sown in high soil salinity conditions. With respect to yield, the yield of the seeds sown on June 15 was higher by 13% for Nampungchal-susu and by 29% for the Hwanggeumchal-susu than that those sown on June 25. With respect to soil salinity, the yield at a soil salinity of $3.2dS\;m^{-1}$ was lower by 23% than that at $1.6dS\;m^{-1}$ or lower for Nampungchal-susu, and was lower by 30% Hwanggeumchal-susu. With respect to planting density, both breeds showed the highest yield at $60{\times}10cm$. These results suggest that a sowing time of June 15 and a seeding distance of $60{\times}10cm$ are appropriate for sorghum in reclaimed land.

This study was carried out to investigate the effects of induced wet-injury conditions on barley seedling growth. Barley seedlings at the three leaf stage were grown in culture solutions with various combinations of dissolved oxygen (DO), nutrients and citric acid (CA) concentrations. Seedling growth was reduced by hypoxia. Root length and root fresh weight were most severely reduced under 1 ppm DO. Shoot growth was slightly reduced but not root growth under low nutrient condition. Seedling growth was reduced by CA in a concentration-dependant manner, Response of seedling growth was efficiently differentiated in a solution containing 1 ppm DO, one tenth of the normal P, K and Mg concentration and 3 mM CA. Under this induced wet-injury condition, overall seedling growth of 6 cultivars was reduced by 11 to 19% compared to the control condition. The results suggest that the induced wet-injury condition can be used for the screening of resistant genotypes at the seedling stage.

To suggest ecological management plans for invasion of Salix gracilistyla, stepwise environmental sieve of seed dispersal, germination, seedling and juvenile stages were investigated. About 84% of total seeds were released between May 6 and 10. Germination rates significantly declined with decrease of light intensity from 100% to 30% and 0% (p<.001), but above 60% of seeds germinated in all treatments. Difference of germination rates with 0 and 2cm water level was not significant (p = .571). With increase of elapsed time after seed dispersal, germination rates significantly decreased (p<.001), and seed viability was lost within 16 days. Considering both germination rate of seed and survival rate of seedling, survival rate of all dispersed seeds was only 5% when 8 days passed after seed dispersal. All 22-day-old seedlings (height: 1cm) died under flooding of twice level as its height. With decrease of light intensity from 100% to 30%, survival rates of seedling decreased from 90% to 33% (p<.001). In the case of 45-day-old juvenile (height: 20cm), survival rate was 70% under the water level same as its height. There was significant interactive effect of water level and light intensity on the growth of juvenile (height: p<.001, dry weight: p<.01), and survival rate of juvenile was 10% under +20cm-water level and 30%-light intensity condition. The following management plans for invasion of S. gracilistyla are recommended from these results. (1) Dry condition should be maintained at fringe of wetlands for about two weeks at seed dispersal and germination stage (early May~mid May). (2) Water level should be raised to about 5cm at fringe of wetlands for about two weeks at seedling stage (mid May~early June). (3) Water level should be raised to over 20cm at fringe of wetlands for a long time at juvenile stage. Planting trees for shading can raise management effectiveness (mid June~). (4) As water level manipulating is performed as fast as possible for controlling seedling and juvenile, management become easier and more effective.

This study was carried out to obtained the basic information for seed coat dehiscence and seedling performance according to seed size of eight ginseng cultivars. Seed size was separated into four grade(upper 5.0, 5.0-4.7, 4.7-4.0, and under 4.0mm in diameter). Seed coat dehiscence and survival ratio of seedling were not affected by seed size. Aerial parts growth of seedling such as stem length, stem diameter, and leaf area of seedling were larger seed(upper 5.0 mm) better than those of small seeds(4.7-4.0, and under 4.0 mm in diameter). Also root part growths such as root diameter, and fresh weight were larger seed(upper 5.0 mm) higher than those of small seeds(4.7-4.0, and under 4.0 mm in diameter). However, root length was not affected by seed size. Growth status of aerial and root parts of 'unpoong' 'umpoong' and 'opoong' were better than those of other cultivars in each grade of seed sizes. The growth of characteristics of 'hunpoong' and 'hungsun' were less than those of other cultivars.

This study was carried out to evaluate the growth characteristics, carbon and nitrogen content of containerized 1-0 Chamaecyparis obtusa seedlings at various levels of fertilizer (2 g/L, 1 g/L, control) and three container volumes (500 mL, 400 mL, 320 mL). The growth of root collar diameter was highest in the 2 g/L (3.14 mm), followed by the 1 g/L (2.75 mm) and control (2.41 mm) treatments, while the height of seedling was significantly higher in the 1 g/L (21.88 cm) than other treatments (2 g/L: 20.92 cm; control: 19.06 cm). The growth of root collar diameter by container volume was better in the 500 mL than in the 320 mL. Dry weight of seedling was the highest in the 1 g/L ($4.41g\;seedling^{-1}$), followed by the control ($3.67g\;seedling^{-1}$) and the 2 g/L ($2.92g\;seedling^{-1}$) treatments. The dry weight of seedlings by container volume was significantly higher in the 500 mL than in the 320 mL. Nitrogen concentration in foliage was ranged from 1.51% in the control to 2.45-2.60% in the fertilizer treatments. However, carbon concentration of seedlings was not affected by the fertilizer or the container volume treatments. The growth of seedlings following planting in mountain area was better in the fertilized seedlings compared with in the unfertilized seedlings. The results indicate that the 1 g/L fertilization was an optimum rate for growth following planting of Chamaecyparis obtusa seedlings.

In order to find out the suitable methods that can omit the earth healing and increase the survival through improving the seedling-healing and transportable methods. Several trials with plastic vinyl have been done and its results are as follows: 1. Though P. rigitaeda seedling have been stored in the black and white vinyl sack for 35 days in the storehouse. This seedling have survived with very high percentage as Table 1. This means that the earth healing work at the nursery or planting area can be omitted if seedling sould be stored in the storehouse by using the vinyl sack. The possibilities of long-period storage in the black and white vinyl sack seem to be come from the reasons that air humidity in the sack is nearly 100% and its air temperature is only around $15^{\circ}C$ with very little difference between day and night time. This sack also can be utilized in place of the planting sack, and though this sack with seedling have been laid under direct sunshine for 1 to 2 days. Any difference between the sack stored in the storehouse has not been observed on the survival specially Table 2. 2. When the bundled seedling have been covered with the black and white vinyl instead of earth healing, even if these seedling have been laid for 18 days under the vinyl. This seedling show us high survival as Table 3. High humidity with nearly 95%, very little difference of air temperature between day and night time under the vinyl and not so big difference between out-and inside temperature could be reasons of high survival to be considered. So through covering by the black and white vinyl. The labour power for earth healing works can be saved also. 3. In order to protect the healed seedling from the direct sunshine and the eva-transpiration. Black vinyl net and reed mat could be effective for this purpose. Because vinyl net could intercept around one to third, reed mat two to third of total solar energy and also suppress more than 50% of total water loss by the transpiration.

Gaeumannomyces graminis var. tritici was first isolated from rice in 1981. Sheath rot of rice seedling in box culture for machine transplanting was produced by artificial inoculation of the causal organism. Especially sheath rot was developed from crown to leaf sheath above water level. Perithecia were usually formed in dead leaf sheaths and in PDA culture. They were black, globose, and immersed with obliquely erumpent neck. Asci were unitunicate with an apical ring and contained 8 spores. Ascospores were hyline, slender, $80{\sim}140\;um$ in length. Each spore showed $3{\sim}4\;septa.$ Based on morphological and cultura characteristics, the isolate from seeds was identified as Gaeumannomyces graminis (Sacc.) Arx & Olivier tritici J. Walker.
