Recently, there has been the gradual growth of the public in rural amenities, hobby farming works, much more urbanities, and especially near-retires. However, in spite of popular preference to ruralities, little has been known about their demand on retired rural life. Therefore, this study examined urbanites' attitude to preparatory works for out-migration, preferred residential site condition and life styles in the countryside. For the purpose, data were collected from the survey with the sample of 62 urban trainees who were studying farming technology in department of training on agricultural technology of Korea National Agricultural College, RDA. We carried out the experience farming to candidate with using the abandoned sericultural facilities which are the silkworm rearing house and mulberry fields. The 71% of urban trainees, who answered in this survey, hoped to move into countryside after retirement and to make a monthly income of $1,000 from agriculture. The age distribution of sericulural farmers is about 79% more than that of 60 years old. In the experience farming works. The two candidates made 1,977$ with net income through 32 days worked in spring season. In autumn season, the couple candidates made 1,317$ with net income through 23 days worked. Knowledge of these results will be important to policy-makers and to understand the role that retirement in-migration play in stimulating economic growth of rural agricultural farmers.

Earlier breeding experiments undertaken at Central Sericultural Research and Training Institute, Mysore, India since a decade had resulted in the development of many productive and qualitatively superior bivoltine hybrids. However, the hot climatic conditions of tropics prevailing particularly in summer are not conducive to rear these high yielding bivoltine hybrids. This has necessitated breeding of compatible bivoltine hybrids for year-round rearing. Accordingly, the Japanese hybrid, B2Ol ${\times}$ BCS12 which was found to be tolerant to high temperature was used as breeding resource material. Following hybridization and selection rearing of silkworms was taken up in SERICATRON (Environmental chamber with precise and automatic control facilities for uniform maintenance of temperature and humidity) at high temperature of $36{\times}1^{\circ}C$ and 85${\times}$5% RH in fifth instar and the control batches at $25{\times}1^{\circ}C$ and 65{\times}$5% RH. Directional selection was resorted to the batches reared at 36$\pm$1$^{\circ}C$ till F$_{5}$ keeping pupation rate as important selection criteria. From $F_{2}% onwards the experiment was modified in such a way as to conduct normal rearing every alternate generation to regain the lost vitality due to continuous exposure to high temperature and high humidity stress. At $F_{2}$ , Oval and dumb-bell cocoons were separated out and designated as CSR18 and CSR19, respectively. By utilizing these lines at $F_{12}$, the hybrid CSR18$\times$CSR19 was prepared and studied for the thermotolerance by subjecting to stress condition at high temperature of 36$\pm$1$^{\circ}C$ and 85$\pm$5% RH in fifth instar and the control batches at $25{\times}1^{\circ}C$ and 65${\times}$5% RH. The better performance of CSR18${\times}$CSR19 (survival > 88%) at $36{\times}1^{\circ}C$ clearly indicates the general superiority of CSR18${\times}$CSR19 with regard to high temperature tolerance over the productive hybrids and CSR18$\times$CSR19 can perform well in varied agro-climatic conditions of the tropics with optimum qualitative and quantitative characteristics.s.

Present experiment designed for the review of theoretical basis for the inspection system of infected insects by Nosema bombycis. A microporidian N. bombycis, known as the high virulence, produced at the average of 7$\times$108 spores per female moth of the silkworm, Bombyx mori, enabled transovarial tranmission. Detectability of N. bombycis spores in the mass inspection was varied by dillution level, the higher limit of dillution with healthy moths was 1:140 for 100% detection, 1:160 for 99.5%, 1:200 for 99.0%. For an efficient inspection under the microscopic observation (600$\times$), the lower limit of spore concentration was determined as 1, 000, 000 spores/ml, 60-80 moths could be applicable for a maximum sample unit of a lot. Following the present inspection unit conditioned 35 to 40 moths for a lot. N. bombycis spores were easily detectable from the preparation of crude homogenate with 2% KOH, even the step of contrifuge was omitted. The results suggested a new basis of rational mass inspection system of silkworm female moths to save the facilities, labor, and time.

The development of cDNA microarray has permitted the analysis of thousands of genes simultaneously. cDNA microarray has been used to analyze gene expression profiles during developmental stage in both single and multicellular organisms. Two significant factors contributing to the limitation of the development of cDNA microarray in the Bombyx mori are the shortage of accessible repositories of cDNA clones and ESTs and the relative scarcity of facilities to produce microarrays and analyze the data generated.

Silkworms are very sensitive to changes in temperature and humidity, and unless it is a suitable temperature and humidity to grow, the productivity and quality of silkworms are greatly reduced. Therefore, it is very important to manage temperature and humidity for silkworm feeding facilities. In particular, it is essential to install heating facilities in Asian countries with distinct seasonal changes. During the feeding period, many farms manage the temperature and humidity of feeding facilities by installing and using electric heaters inside the facilities. However, it is very difficult to manage the room temperature stably by the heaters. In addition, unlike the temperature inside the facility, silkworms could undergo severe temperature changes as the inside of the rearing tray could not be warm enough. In this study, in order to improve the previous heating method, the new rearing method that directly heats the bottom of the rearing tray was developed. Compared to the previous room-heating system, the novel heater-installed tray (HIT) system significantly reduced the change in temperature during the experimental period. In addition, the number of days of silkworm growth up to harvest was shortened, which was effective in growth performance, and it was also found that silkworms grew more uniformly in HIT system than in previous system. Moreover, as the heater tubes were installed directly under the rearing tray, it quickly dried mulberry leaves and silkworm feces after feeding, and as a result, the environment in the tray was greatly improved with decrease the labor of breeder. In conclusion, these results suggest that the heater-installed rearing tray method greatly improves silkworm quality, increases weight of silkworms, and final profits compared to the previous room heating system with electric heaters.

가공 중 파괴되기 쉬운 여러 가지 기능성 성분과 오디 고유의 맛, 향 및 형태를 그대로 유지한 말랑말랑한 반건조 오디를 제조함으로써 오디 자체를 식용 또는 식품(빵, 떡, 한과 등) 재료로서의 이용성, 실온 보관 및 유통 편리성을 향상시키고자 하였다. 영하 $40^{\circ}C$ 이하에서 보관한 오디를 내부 온도를 $30{\sim}35^{\circ}C$ 사이로 맞춰 놓은 동결건조기에 넣고 23 ~ 24시간 동안 진공상태에서 건조시킴으로써 오디는 열매끼리 뭉치지 않고 한 알씩 분리되며, 만졌을 때 손에 검은 색이 묻어나지 않는다. 특히 안토시아닌 색소인 C3G을 비롯해 루틴(rutin), 가바(GABA), 레스베라트롤(resveratrol) 등의 다양한 기능성 성분과 오디 고유의 맛, 향, 형태를 그대로 유지할 수 있다. 반건조 오디의 경우 수확 후 냉동보관에 필요한 시설유지비(전기료 등)가 들지 않으며, 건조 후 1년 정도 실온 보관이 가능하므로 수송유통이 편리함은 물론 연중 상시 구매가 가능하다. 또한 반건조 오디 생산에 걸리는 시간은 약 23 ~ 24시간으로 완전 건조 오디 생산 시 걸리는 시간(48시간)보다 절반가량 짧아 농가의 가공비용을 줄일 수 있다. 단순 가공제품과 더불어 반건조 오디를 직접 식용 또는 다양한 식재료에 활용함으로써 다양한 오디의 영양성분과 기능성 성분의 섭취를 통해 국민건강증진은 물론 소비확산을 통한 농가소득 향상에도 기여할 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.

In this study, we investigated the developmental characteristics and genetic diversity of seven populations of two-spotted crickets (Gryllus bimaculatus De Geer, 1773 (Orthoptera: Gryllidae)) raised in South Korea. Regarding the developmental characteristics of the species, we observed no statistically significant difference in the weight of the nymphs in the six populations we tested. After molting, although weight differences were observed between the populations in each stage of the developmental period, the average weight for each developmental stage was constant. We also analyzed mitochondrial COI gene sequences (DNA barcoding region) of the reared crickets collected from five insect farms and two national insect rearing facilities and the resultant sequences were analyzed together with the 12 sequences from foreign countries specimens obtained from public data. We detected six haplotypes from 111 specimens, indicating a low intraspecific genetic distance (~1.8%). The most dominant haplotype was overwhelmingly haplotype 1, which was found in all South Korean specimens and four specimens from China, Indonesia, and Germany. These findings indicate that the low genetic diversity of South Korean specimens can be explained by the fact that the G. bimaculatus population imported for feed from Japan in the early 2000s became a maternal group that spread throughout cricket farms in South Korea. In order to breed healthy cricket strains, it is necessary to increase genetic diversity by importing them from other countries through appropriate quarantine procedures.

필리핀의 잠사업은 그 역사가 매우 짧다. 1974년 일본의 잠업기술을 도입하면서부터 양잠에 관심을 갖기 시작하였다. 그후 1990년 한국의 잠업기술자의 도움을 받아 뽕밭을 조성하고 잠실을 지어 양잠을 본격적으로 시작하게 되었다. 따라서 이 나라의 잠업역사가 짧은 것 만큼 뽕나무 재배기술도 몹시 낙후되어 있는 실정이다. 필리핀 고지대의 뽕밭의 현황 및 그 개선책을 요약하면 다음과 같다. 강우량, 기온, 일조시간 및 습도 등은 뽕나무가 자라는데 큰 무리가 없어 보인다. 다만 12월부터 3월까지의 건기에는 뽕밭에 관수를 하거나 뽕밭 주위에 무진장으로 자생하고 있는 풀을 베어서 뽕밭에 피복하여 토양수분을 보존한다. 대부분의 뽕밭이 급경사지에 조성되었는데 등고선에 따라 계단을 만들거나 승수로의 설치등이 되어 있지 않기 때문에 강우시에는 토양의 침식 및 유실이 심하였다. 따라서 계단사면에는 초생재배를 실시하고 계단면에는 유기물을 피복하여 토양의 유실을 방지해야 할 것이다. 토양의 pH 4.7, 유기물함량 1.6%, 유효인산함량은 6ppm이었다. 즉 유기물 함량이 낮은 강산성토양이며 유효인산함량이 극히 낮은 토양이었다. 석회와 유기물을 다량 사용하여 토양을 개량하고 인산비료를 증시해야한다. 소나무 밑에서 재배하고 있는 뽕밭에서는 햇빛이 잘 쪼일 수 있도록 소나무의 곁가지를 전정해주고 석회를 증시한다. 현재의 ha당 시비량 질소-46kg, 인산-18kg, 칼리-18kg은 너무 적은 양이므로 ha당 질소-250kg, 인산-120kg, 칼리-120kg을 시용한다. 전체 뽕밭의 70%에 해당하는 뽕나무가 뽕나무 잎말이 나방피해를 받고 있는 실정인바 DDVP 및 KAFIL 등의 약제 방제를 실시한다. 우기에 많이 발생하는 적삽병은 이병된 뽕잎과 새순은 조기 제거하고 Topsin-M을 살포한다.
