Maintaining the water level at 5cm depth showed less decreasing in number of tiller and dry weight as compared to 1 and 3cm depths when Bensulfuron and Pretilachlor were applied. The drainage more than 5cm as water level everyday caused the growth inhibition when Bensulfuron and Pretilachlor were used, while Dimepiperate was rather safe.

Experiment for analysing changes of growth, tuber yield and total sugar content during wintering was performed with Maekmoondong 1(L. platyphylla WANG et TANG). The growth of over ground characteristics including leaf length, tiller number and fresh leaf weight lasted to the middle of April. The growth and filling of tuber were progressed and got to the top of tuber yield (387kg/l0a) in the middle of March, showing the optimum harvesting time in Big Blue Lilyturf cultivation. Total sugar content showed the highest value(79%) in the late of January and was decreased gradually to the middle of March during wintering. There was highly significant negative correlation between total sugar content and tuber yield.

Number and percentage of diseased area of leaf blast lesions formed on different leaf location were mostly distributed from the flag leaf(n-1) to the 3rd leaf from the top(n-3) in Tongil line rice varieties and on the 2nd leaf from the top(n-2) in Japonica type rice varieties. Especially leaf lesions of Nopung which was more susceptible to leaf blast among Ton1 line rice varieties were mostly distributed on flag leaf. Relation between the degree of lesion distribution and level of fertilizer was more clear with an increase of fertilizer quantity. Leaf blast lesions of rice varieties were generally distributed from the flag leaf to the with leaf from the top but mainly those at flag leaf and the 2nd leaf from the top were found to be most responsible for inoculum source of panicle blast after booting stage. Increase of the conidia formation was resulted from fluctuation of temperature$(24^{\circ}C\~16^{\circ}C)$ in low temperature range after booting stage and many inoculum sources were supplied on panicles until the end of September without impeding dispersal from leaf blast lesions as an inoculum source of panicle blast.

This study was conducted to get basic information on the Korean local corn line collected from Busan City and Kyungnam Province, a total of 49 lines were selected and assessed by the principal component analysis method. In the result of principal component analysis for 7 characteristics, 67.4% and 86.3% of total variation could be appreciated by the first two and first four principal components, respectively. Contribution of characteristics to principal component was high at upper principal components and low at lower principal components. Biological meaning of principal component and plant types corresponding to the each principal component were explained clearly by the correlation coefficient between principal component and characteristics. The first principal component appeared to correspond to the size of plant and ear, and the duration of vegetative growing period. The second principal component appeared to correspond to the number of ear and tiller. But the meaning of the third and fourth principal components were not clear.

In order to establish the optimal soil moisture, seeding date and nitrogen fertilization, yield and its components grown at 3 different seeding dates and 2 nitrogen fertilizations were compared and analyzed in adaly(Coix lachyma-jobi L. var. mayuen). The results are summarized as follows: Heading date and maturity date were earlier in early seeding date than in late seeding date. Days to heading was shortened as the seeding date was late. Stem length, stem diameter, and tiller number were increased in irrigation than control, and were decreased as the seeding date was late. The top and the root dry weight were increased in irrigation than in control, and were decreased as the seeding date was late. Net photosynthetic rate was increased significantly in irrigation. Occurrance of leaf blight disease was much lower in irrigation than in control. 1000 grain weight and grain yield were higher in irrigation than in control, and were decreased as the seeding date was late. Rate of sterility was lower in irrigation than in control.

Rye has been a major winter forage crop in Korea. Varietal improvement of rye has been practiced either by hybrid or population breeding systems. Hybrid breeding offers important advantages over population breeding since it is normally a cross-pollinated crop. The hybrid breeding in rye has been possible since cytoplasmically inherited forms of male sterility (CMS) and corresponding nuclear restorer genes were found. The objectives of this research were to develop the maintainer and restorer lines of Korean inbred lines and to estimate the effect of 'Pampa' type of CMS cytoplasm on yield and its related characteristics. For easy discrimination of male-sterile status of plants, anther scoring and the restore index system in which seed-setting and pollen quantity of viability were taken into account were established. High significant correlation between pollen quantity and pollen viability was found. For "Pampa" cytoplasm, four of 14 Korean inbred lines tested turned out to be a maintainer but no restorer was found. But for "235b" CMS cytoplasm, seven inbred lines acted as complete restorers. The Korean inbred rye lines acted mainly as maintainers in "Pampa" cytoplasm but acted mainly as restorer in "235b" cytoplasm. The 'Pampa' cytoplasm inducing male sterility reduced cohn length and plant height and increased the number of tiller, so forage yield and grain yield were enhanced. However, heading date was slightly delayed compared to the normal cytoplasm.elayed compared to the normal cytoplasm.

This study was carried out to determine the optimum size and number of farm machines for various sizes of land coverage of the cooperative farm machinery utilization systems in Korea-namely Saemaul Mechanized Farming Group (SMFG). Fifty-one SMFG were selected from 8 counties in Chonnam province, and ownership, operation and management of farm machinery were surveyed. Annual covered area, cost and the break-even-point area of farm machinery were analyzed on the bases of the surveyed data and the present governmental subsidy policy, and then the optimum level of farm machinery ownership was determined. The results are summarized as follows: 1. The break-even-point areas of the tractors of 22-23ps, 28ps and 47-50ps were estimated as 12.1ha, 15.3ha and 21.6ha, respectively. The optimum size of a tractor for land sizes of 10-20ha, 20-30ha, and 30-40ha were estimated as 22-23ps, 28ps, and 47-50ps, respectively. 2. The break-even-point area of a rice transplanter was estimated as 3.3ha. The optimum numbers of rice transplanter for land sizes of 10-20ha, 20-30ha, and 30-40ha were estimated as 2,3, and 4, respectively. 3. The break-even-point areas of a speed sprayer (attached on power tiller) and a power sprayer were estimated as 114.6ha and 15.3ha, respectively. The optimum numbers of power sprayer for land sizes of 10-20ha, 20-30ha, and 30-40ha were estimated as 2,3 and 4, respectively. A speed sprayer is desirable for an area of more than 30ha coverage. 4. The break-even-point area of a combine was estimated as 10.7ha. The optimum numbers of combine for land sizes of 10-20ha, 20-30ha, and 30-40ha were estimated as 1,2, and 3, respectively.

Bacterial blight is one of the most serious diseases of rice (Oryza sativa L.), and it has been known that Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae (Xoo) causes this disease symptom. To develop resistance rice cultivars against Xoo, 3,000 lines of $M_3$ mutants, which were irradiated with gamma ray, were tested by 'scissor-dip method' primarily, and 191 putative resistant lines were selected. In $M_4$ generation, these lines were screened again with various ways such as measuring of symptom of bacterial blight in leaf, number of tiller, fresh weight, and phenotypic segregation ratio in next generation. Finally, six resistance lines were selected. RT-PCR analysis revealed that these lines displayed high level of R-genes such as Xa21, Pi36, and Pi-ta. These results indicate that mutations by gamma ray cause disruptions of regulatory signal transduction systems of these R-genes. Furthermore, these selected mutants could be useful for the development of rice cultivar resistant to Xoo.

We investigated the physiological responses by acute and chronic gamma-irradiation in rice. The rice, Oryza sativa L. cv Dongan, plants were irradiated with 100 and 400 Gy of gamma-rays for acute and chronic irradiation, and their morphological, chlorophyll content, MDA, proline and activities of antioxidant enzymes were examined. The plant height of chronic irradiation samples were decrease with increase of a does than the control, but the number of tiller and dry weight of shoot were increased 100 Gy. Carotenoid and chrolorphyll content were decreased of all irradiated plants than non-irradiated plants. But, MDA and proline content were increased in 400 Gy both acute and chronic gamma irradiation. And the activities of antioxidant enzymes were different as gamma-irradiation patterns.
