A study was investigated to find out the mechanical optimum conditions of power tiller-plow system on both paddy field and upland. Mathematical model was developed for the theoretical analysis of this system and the experimentation on the field was carried out with two different sizes of 5PS and 8PS power tiller equipped with rubber tire. 1) The relationship between the plowing depth and draft resistance of the power tiller-plow system was a quadratic function. 2) The minimum point of the specific draft resistance of the 5 PS plow was found at the smaller plowing depth than that of 8 PS plow, therefore we can find that the curved surface of 5PS plow bottom should be improved for the effective plowing operation. 3) As the improvement of the mechanical balance by the desirable change of the curved surface of plow bottom, the relative position of hitch point and dimension of plow beam would be realized, the 5 PS power tiller could be used to plow deeply (about 16-17cm). 4) The virtual acting point of the total draft resistance on the plow bottom approached to the land side as the plowing depth increased. 5) The resultant of vertical reaction force $R_2$ on the landside was increased with the plowing depth, while the vertical reaction force $R_1$ on the wheel was decreased as the slope angle of the body of power tiller increased. 6) For the effective plowing operations ; a) The slope angle of the body should be as small as possible. b) The diameter of the wheel should be as small possible. c) The horizontal and vertical distances $l_2, h_1$ between the wheel axis and plow bottom should be as large as possible. 7) To use the 5PS power tiller as the major unit of agricultural machinery, the curved surface of the 5 PS plower bottom and the mechanism of attachment between the power tiller and the plow should be changed as the indications of this study, and in addition to these, the new operation method of the field work should be developed.

The deep irrigation of rice plants brings about some beneficial effects such as reduced tiller production which results in the formation of bigger panicles, prevention of chilling injury, reduced weed growth, etc. The present study was carried out to examine the involvement of ethylene in the suppression of tiller production due to deep water irrigation in rice (cv. Dongjinbyeo). The ethylene production was induced in leaf sheath within 24 hours after the deep water irrigation and has increased even until 30 days after the treatment, recording 4.5-fold increase as compared to the shallow-irrigated rice plants. In the deep water irrigated rice plants, ethylene was accumulated to a high concentration in the air space of submerged leaf sheath as the irrigated water deterred the diffusion of ethylene out of the leaf sheath and ethylene biosynthesis was accelerated by the deep irrigation as well. The ethylene concentration recorded 35-fold increase in the deep-irrigated rice plants for 35 days. The tiller production was reduced significantly by the deep irrigation with water, the tiller bud, especially tertiary tiller bud differentiation being suppressed by the deepwater irrigation treatment, whereas the rice plants deep-irrigated with solutions containing $10^{-5}$ M or $10^{-6}$ M silver thiosulfate (STS), an action inhibitor of ethylene, showed the same or even higher production of tillers than those irrigated shallowly with water. This implies that the ethylene is closely linked with the suppression of tiller production due to deep water irrigation. In conclusion, ethylene, which was induced by hypoxic stress and accumulated in the leaf sheath due to submergence, played a key role in suppressing the tiller production of the deepwater irrigated rice.

Frequent breakdowns of power tiller, particularly in the peak labor constraints, have been a cause of decreasing machine productivity and its efficient utilization. To keep power tiller always ready to work, it may be necessary to identify the failure characteristics of some major parts of power tiller, and to have those parts replaced accordingly before they show the symptom of mulfunction. This study was conducted to identify the failure characteristics of some major parts of power tiller and to estimate their lives (MTBF) using a Weibull distribution function. The result showed that about half of breakdowns currently being occurred may be reduced through timely replacement of those part having wearout failure characteristics.

The steady-state, incompressible and three-dimensional numerical analysis was carried out to evaluate the velocity fields around the seabed tiller used for the improvement of the seabed soil and the pulling force and buoyancy generated by driving the seabed tiller. The turbulence model used in this study is a realizable $k-{\varepsilon}$ well known to be excellent for predicting the performance of the flow separation and recirculation flow as well as the boundary layer with rotation and strong back pressure gradient. As a results, a typical vortex pair appears near the adjacent rotor vane tip. When the current is stopped, there is no force when pulling the seabed tiller, but when the current flows at 1.2 knots, the force acts on the downstream side and the pulling force is much greater. In stationary currents, the buoyancy of the seabed tiller acts more strongly towards the seabed as the number of rotations of the rotor increases, but acts more strongly toward the sea surface at 1.2 knots of current.

Training power tiller operators in safe farming is necessary to avoid farming accidents. With the continuing progress in computational technology, driving simulators have become increasingly popular for conducting such training. Purpose: The objective of this study is to develop mock control devices and data acquisition apparatus for a tiller simulator. Methods: Except for the stand and tail wheel adjusting levers, the mock control devices were developed using a tiller handle assay. The data acquisition apparatus was realized using an embedded data-logging device and LabVIEW, the system design software. Results: The control devices of a real handle assay were successfully mimicked by the mock operator control devices, which used sensors for the relevant measurements. The data from the mock devices were acquired and transmitted to the main computer at intervals of 10 ms via Wi-Fi. Conclusions: The developed mock control devices operate similar to real power tillers and can be utilized in power tiller training simulators.

A scale model of power tiller-trailer system with the same kinematic characteristics was constructed one eighth of the actual size to validate the effectiveness of mathematical model of motion. The parameters for the scale model of power tiller-trailer system were measured by a series of laboratory experiments. Validation tests for the: scale model was conducted under several ground and operating conditions. The tests were performed on artificial ground surfaces with several kind, of slope and obstacle. The travel path of the scale model was photographed successively in three directions. The travel paths obtained from both the film analysis and the simulation model appeared to be consistent with each other. It was concluded that the simulation model could be used to predict the motion of actual power tiller-trailer system if the parameters for actual power tiller and trailer are provided.

To investigate the most important factors affecting the mobility of power tiller and to find the method which can be used for predicting the mobility of power tiller in soft paddy field, a series of field experiment was performed with two models of power tiller (8ps and 6ps diesel). From the results obtained throughout field experiment, the following conclusions were derived. 1. The wheel sinkage of power tiller during both traveling and field operations, which mainly influence the mobility, could be predicted from both plate ($50{\times}100mm$) sinkage and soil cone index (30-degree cone with 2 and $6cm^2$ base area). 2. Prediction of wheel sinkage from the rectangular plate sinkage was found to be more suitable compared with the cone index. 3. The upper limit of rectangular plate sinkage was found as 15 centimeter for operation of power tiller in muddy field which is equivalent of $1kg/cm^2$ of $2cm^2$ cone index value.

화본과 청예작물의 예취후 재생시 식물호르몬의 반응을 구명하기 위하여 수수와 진주조에서 각각 생육 특성이 다른 두 품종씩을 선택하여 줄기신장기와 개화기에서 예취한 후 식물생장조절제 IAA, GA, Kinetin을 처리하여 나타난 재생반응을 조사 하였다. 1. Kinetin 처리는 품종과 예취시기에 관계없이 모두 분얼수을 증가시켰으나 재생건물중은 처리에 따른 재생 생육의 저조로 감소되었다. 그러나 수수에서 지하부가 수분 과다스트레스를 받아 분얼의 재싱이 나쁠 때 Kinetin의 처리는 분얼수 및 엽신장을 증가시켰고 이에 따라 수수의 재생건물중도 증가되었다. 반면 IAA의 처리는 무처리와 차이가 현저하지 않았다. 2. GA 처리는 모두 재생분얼의 생성을 억제하였다. 수수에서 재생력이 약한 P931의 GA에 의해 분얼을 확보하지 못해 거의 고사하였고 재생력이 좋은 Jxu-sue은 분얼은 확보하였으나 GA에 의해 도장하는 2차적 효과를 나타내었다. 진주조에서도 GA 처리에 의해 신생분얼의 발생은 억제되었는데 특히 GA는 상대적으로 기존분얼의 발생은 억제되었는데 특히 GA는 상대적으로 기존분얼의 신장을 증가시켜 신생분얼의 발생을 더 억제하였다. 3. 수수와 진주조의 예취후 저장탄수화물 함량 변화를 보면 줄기신장기 예취에서는 재생 초기 재생분얼의 생성으로 감소하였다가 재생분얼의 광합성이 재개됨에 따라 예취 후 7일 째부터 증가 하였다. 그에 반해 개화기는 재생원기의 노화에 의해 분얼의 생성과 신장이 느려 저장탄수화물이 소모되는 기간이 예취 후 14일까지 연장되었고 저장탄수화물 함량이 증가속도도 낮았다. 4. 예취 후 수수의 재생에서 GA 처리가 다른 PGR 처리에 비해 저장탄수화물을 많이 감소시켰으며 따라서 수수의 재생 후기의 저장탄수화물 함량의 회복도 불량하였다. 그 반면 진주조에서는 GA 처리에 의해 기존분얼의 신장이 촉진되어 동화작용을 할 수 있는 엽이 초기에 확보됨으로서 재생후기 진주조의 저장탄수화물 함량은 양호하게 증가되었다. 5 수수와 진주조 모두 재생건물중은 재생초기 탄수화물의 소모량과는 상관관계가 없었고 재생건물중이 분얼수와 예취후 7일간의 초장과 높은 상관관계를 가져 예취 후 재생은 예취시 저장탄수화물 함량보다 그 재생원기의 활력이 중요하였다. 특히 진주조에서는 개화기가 줄기신장기보다 재생분얼원기가 심하게 노화되어 재생분얼수 및 엽신장이 현저히 감소되었고 따라서 예취후 재생건물중도 현저히 감소되었다.
