The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of 3 environment- friendly farming materials on the growth of pepper and tomato seedlings under low level of solar radiation. The pepper and tomato seedlings were separately grown on commercial substrate and non-fertilizer substrate under 30% shading condition, respectively. The microbe-, enzyme-, and amino acid-supplements were used for the foliar application to the seedlings. The application of enzyme- and amino acid-supplements significantly enhanced the growth of tomato and pepper seedlings grown on non-fertilizer substrate, while there was no significant effect on the seedlings grown on commercial substrate. The foliar application of enzyme- and amino acid-supplements reduced the days to flowering by 3 to 4 days and lowered the node order of fruit set in tomato plants grown on non-fertilizer substrate. The results showed that the enzyme- and amino acid-supplements could enhance the seedling growth and lower the node order of fruit set under limited nutritional conditions.

This study was carried out to investigate the effect of temperature and daylength on the bolting of Angelica gigas Nakai for decreasing the rate of bolting.Seedlings were transplanted on early December to the PVC pot(1 /1000) in the greenhouse con­trolled the temperature of 15, 20 and $25^{\circ}C$, and the daylength of 8, 12, and 16hrs. Growth of aerial parts, bolting rate and root characteristics of A. gigas were investigated. Seedlings of A. gigas untreated with low temperature were nomally emerged, bolted and flowered in maturing stage. In this results, it was assumed that A. gigas was low sensitive to low temperature. The early growth stage was good at $20^{\circ}C\;and\;25^{\circ}C$, but the late growth was effective at $15^{\circ}C\;and\;20^{\circ}C$. The bolting rate was the highest at $20^{\circ}C$ while the root weight was the lowest. Although the bolting rate was high at $15^{\circ}C$, the yield was increased by the delay of bolting and flowering stage. The bolting rate was increased in the longer daylength and showed more sensitive to the daylength condition than to the temperature. Thus, A. gigas cultivated in gully field with cool temperature or under the shading light could be reduced could the bolting rate.

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of temperature and shade, which are basic environmental conditions, on growth, yield, inorganic components, and general components of Codonopsis lanceolata, in order to obtain basic data for improving yield capacity. In natural light, in the 15, 20, and $25^{\circ}C$ groups, the plant heights ranged between 218.9 cm and 223.9 cm, and there was no significant difference between groups. However, the leaf size was larger in shade, and the leaf area was significantly larger in the 15 and $30^{\circ}C$ groups. In natural light, root length and diameter were shorter and thinner when the temperature was higher, and growth was highly suppressed at $30^{\circ}C$. With regards to macroelements, the contents of Na, Mg, and P increased as temperature increased, regardless of the plant part; however, no constant tendency was observed in K and Ca according to temperature. The contents of Mg and Ca (from highest to lowest) were in the order leaf>stem>root, whereas the contents of Na, P, and K were in the order stem>leaf>root. Contents of general components varied according to temperature, and were highest at $30^{\circ}C$. While the plant height was increased under the constant $25^{\circ}C$+DIF (Difference between day and night temperature) condition, growth was suppressed in the -DIF group, in which the night temperature was higher than the day temperature, which suggests that a change in night temperature is one of the factors that affects the growth of C. lanceolata. As in the growth of the above-ground parts, fresh weight of the root was high in the constant $25^{\circ}C$ group and +DIF group. Notably, it was more than 2.5 times the fresh weights in the constant $15^{\circ}C$ group, constant $20^{\circ}C$ group, and -15 DIF group.

Grafting of fruit-bearing vegetables has been widely used to increase the resistance to soil-borne diseases, to increase the tolerance to low temperature or to soil salinity, to increase the plant vigor, and to extend the duration of economic harvest time. After grafting, it is important to control the environment around grafted seedlings for the robust joining of a scion and rootstock. Usually the shading materials and plastic films are used to keep the high relative humidity and low light intensity in greenhouse or tunnel. It is quite difficult to optimally control the environment for healing and acclimation of grafted seedlings under natural light. So the farmers or growers rely on their experience for the production of grafted seedling with high quality. If artificial light is used as a lighting source for graft-taking of grafted seedlings, the light intensity and photoperiod can be easily controlled. The purpose of this study was to develop a prototype system for the graft-taking enhancement of grafted seedlings using artificial lighting and to investigate the effect of air current speed on the distribution of air temperature and relative humidity in a graft-taking enhancement system. A prototype graft-taking system was consisted by polyurethane panels, air-conditioning unit, system controller and lighting unit. Three band fluorescent lamps (FL20SEX-D/18, Kumho Electric, Inc.) were used as a lighting source. Anemometer (Climomaster 6521, KANOMAX), T-type thermocouples and humidity sensors (CHS-UPS, TDK) were used to measure the air current speed, air temperature and relative humidity in a graft-taking system. In this system, air flow acted as a driving force for the diffusion of heat and water vapor. Air current speed, air temperature and relative humidity controlled by a programmable logic controller (UP750, Yokogawa Electric Co) and an inverter (MOSCON-G3, SAMSUNG) had an even distribution. Distribution of air temperature and relative humidity in a graft-taking enhancement system was fairly affected by air current speed. Air current speed higher than 0.1m/s was required to obtain the even distribution of environmental factors in this system. At low air current speed of 0.1m/s, the evapotranspiration rate of grafted seedlings would be suppressed and thus graft-taking would be enhanced. This system could be used to investigate the effects of air temperature, relative humidity, air current speed and light intensity on the evaportranspiration rate of grafted seedlings.

Demand for dwarf mondo grass (DMG; Ophiopogon japonicus 'Nanus') as an ornamental garden plant is expected to grow in the future. The purpose of this study was to investigate the levels of shade tolerance and ground cover by growing DMG under a variety of shade conditions for 18 months (May 2015~October 2016). DMG plants grown in bare ground for 3 years in Jangheung-gun, Jeonnam were used for testing. In an experimental site created in Naju city in Jeonnam, the DMG was planted in planters ($70cm{\times}70cm{\times}24cm$) and covered with a shading curtain to block natural light. Shaded conditions were then arranged under different levels of shade (0%, 55% and 75%). When the plants were grown, growth (leaf size, the number of leaves, fresh weight and dry weight) and ground coverage of DMG were analyzed. According to the results, DMG growth in terms of leaf size and the number of leaves was statistically higher under zero shade (full sunlight), when compared to other shaded conditions. DMG's fresh and dry weights were significantly greater under 0% and 55% shade, compared to those under 75% shade. The degrees of shade tolerance required for normal growth of DMG were found in the range of 0~50%, meaning that more than 50% shade may decrease plant growth. There were no statistical differences in ground coverage rates of DMG under different levels of shade. When 220 tillers were planted per $1m^2$ of plot, up to 80% of the area was covered by DMG after 18 months. Since DMG requires nutrient-rich soil to grow, sufficient nitrogen fertilizers are proposed to accelerate the ground cover of DMG. As DMG remained alive over the winter in the experiments, this study also suggests that DMG can be planted in the southern temperate region.

는쟁이냉이는 전국 각지 산지의 응달이나 물가에서 자생하는 여러해살이풀이다. 3월 경 눈을 뚫고나와 가장 이른 봄나물로 식용하기도 한다. 특유의 매운 맛이 있어 식용작물로 발전가능성이 높은 식물종이다. 따라서 본 연구는 는쟁이냉이 재배기술 정립을 위한 기초자료 수집의 일환으로 수행되었다. 차광에 따른 는쟁이냉이 생육특성을 비교 분석하기 위해 경북 봉화군 소재 국립백두대간수목원 양묘장 노지에 무차광, 40% 차광, 55%차광, 65%차광 처리구를 배치 후, 실험을 진행하였다. 생육특성의 비교를 위해 초장, 초폭, 엽 수, 엽길이, 엽너비, 엽병길이, SPAD 값 총 7가지 항목에 대해 생장기(6월), 휴면기(9월) 두 차례 측정하였다. 측정 결과, 모든 측정값이 차광구가 무차광구보다 높게 나타났다. 또한 무차광구는 6월 조사 이후, 7월 말까지 생장량이 줄어들다가 전량 지상부 고사가 발생하여 는쟁이냉이 재배를 위해서는 차광처리가 필수적으로 필요하다는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 측정항목 중 초장, 초폭, 엽길이, 엽너비, 엽병길이는 차광율이 높을수록 증가하는 경향을 보였다. 그러나 엽록소함량을 추정할 수 있는 SPAD 값은 40% 차광구가 가장 높았고 55%차광구, 65%차광구에서는 오히려 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 또한 엽 수도 40% 차광구가 가장 높았다. 위 결과를 종합해볼 때, 는쟁이냉이 재배 시 55% 이상의 차광율을 적용하면 잎 자체의 크기 증대를 기대할 수 있으며, 40% 수준의 차광율을 적용하면 잎 수와 혁질의 잎을 생산할 수 있을 것으로 여겨진다. 다만, 본 실험은 는쟁이냉이 재배 생산량에 대한 부분에 집중하였고 상품화를 위해서는 품질에 관한 연구가 추가적으로 이루어져야 할 것으로 판단된다.
