Initial crop injury, plant growth and yield of machine-transplanted rice of seedlings different in plant age (8-, 20-, and 35-day-old seedlings) after application of herbicides were investigated in field. The herbicides employed were butachlor, dithiopyr, pyrazolate(applied only for 8-day-old seedling), dithiopyr+pyrazolate, dithiopyr+ bensulfuron methyl), and butachlor+bensulfuron methyl(applied only for 20-and 35-day-old seedlings). There was no significant difference in plant growth, yield components and yield between the different-aged seedlings of the untreated check, except for the heading date, The heading date of 8-day-old seedling was delayed for 2 and 6 days as compared with those of 20-and 35-day-old seedlings, respectively. A very slight initial crop injury was found with the tested herbicides for all the different-aged seedlings. No significant differences in plant height and tiller number occurred between different-aged seedlings and the respective untreated check. All the herbicides used gave a good weeding effect. Yield components and yields were not affected by different-aged seedlings after application of the herbicides.

The effects of organic-compound fertilizer on weed control and rice growth in the transplanting rice cultivation were researched in this article. The results showed that the growth of transplanted rice was promoted (the increased rate was 10.3~27.2%), but the plant number for Echinochloa crus-galli was controlled (the inhibition rate was 50.3~89.2%), besides, small amount of organic-compound fertilizer in controlling Aneilema keisak was highly effective when the transplanted rice was treated with 125~250 kg $10a^{-1}$ organic-compound fertilizer. Moreover, E. crus-galli, Monochoria vaginalis and A. keisak were inhibited largely by increasing the water depth (1~5 cm), whereas Eleocharis kuroguwai and other sedges weeds were not effected by water depth. Compared with the temperature of $20{\sim}35^{\circ}C$, the plant occurrence of E. crus-galli and M. vaginalis at high temperature was inhibited (the inhibition rate were 75.4~92.2% and 49.5%~81.6%, respectively). When the transplanted rice was treated with the above organic-compound fertilizer after 10day, the inhibition rate of plant occurrence for E. crus-galli and M. vaginalis was 33.7% and 23.3%, respectively. Similarly, in the later period of rice growth, the plant height and the numbers of tiller grew slowly in conventional soil in comparison with the soil treated with organic-compound fertilizer. It has been found that the rice yield in experimental soil was decreased by 4%. This result in the field experiment showed that organic material contents in conventional soil were lower than that in soil which used the organic-compound fertilizer. Weed control in experimental soil showed 60.5% lower effects than that in conventional soil.

Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) imagery are being assessed for analyzing within field spatial variability for agricultural precision management, because UAV imagery may be acquired quickly during critical periods of rapid crop growth. This study refers to the derivation of barley and wheat growth prediction equation by using UAV derived vegetation index. UAV imagery was taken on the test plots six times from late February to late June during the barley and wheat growing season. The field spectral reflectance during growing period for the 5 variety (Keunal-bori, Huinchalssal-bori, Saechalssal-bori, Keumkang and Jopum) were measured using ground spectroradiometer and three growth parameters, including plant height, shoot dry weight and number of tiller were investigated for each ground survey. Among the 6 Vegetation Indices (VI), the RVI, NDVI, NGRDI and GLI between measured and image derived showed high relationship with the coefficient of determination respectively. Using the field investigation data, the vegetation indices regression curves were derived, and the growth parameters were tried to compare with the VIs value.

Echinochloa species collected from 13 places of Korea appeared to be morphologically very different. They were classified by Yabuno's seed morphology method into two species such as Echinochloa oryzicola and Echinochloa crus-galli which have two varieties such E. crus-galli var, cuss-galli and var, praticola. Among them, E. oryzicola was morphologically similar to Oryza sativa, but it had small leaf length with straight from, no awn, late heading and little interspecific variance. As compared with E. oryzicola, E. eras-galli var. crus-galli, and var, praticola showed a great variance exerting so difficulty in classifing them morphologically, particularly a great variance in leaf length, tiller number and grain size. E. oryzicola species showed the more sensitive response to butachor and thiobencarb herbicides than E. eras-galli var. praticola and var. eras-galli. However, E. eras-galli var. praticola was themore sensitive one to pretilachloa herbicide than such as E. oryzicola and E. eras-galli var. eras-galli, indicating that Echinochloa species might have a selective response to the annual herbicides tested.

The response of forage yield was studied with various growth indices to develop yield model and to determine optimum cutting time in three cultivars of orchardgrass 1. Number of tiller per plant was the highest at 3rd cutting stage. But, it was decreased rapidly at 4th cutting stage. Leaf Area Index (LAI) was the highest at 3rd cutting stage. LA1 was increased slowly during 15 days to 20 days after cutting and thereafter increased rapidly. 2. In dry matter yield over cutting stages, 1st cutting and 3rd cutting stages were higher yield than others. Change of dry matter yield was similar to that of LA1 in all cutting stages. 3. Leaf Elongation Rate (LER) and Specific Leaf Weight (SLW) were reached to maximum at 20 to 25 days and 25 to 30 days after cutting, respectively, 4. Dry matter yield was highly correlated with LA1 (r=0.905)and with CGR (r=0.962) over three cultivars. Also, LA1 was significantly with LER. The best-fit yield model was obtained in multiple regression equation which included both dependent variables of LA1 and CGR. 5. Optimum cutting times which were determined by the relationships between D.M. yield and LAI, and between D.M. yield and CGR, were ranged from 32 days t o 36 days depend on each cutting stages.

This study was aimed to provide understanding on the eco-physiological response of barley tillers as affected by sowing method. Yield and yield contribution rates of tillers were investigated with the data of field experiments in the Honam Crops Experiment Station of Iri, Korea from October 1986 to July 1987. Narrow-seeding (each row placement 40cm$\times$seeding width of each row 18cm), drill-seeding (20cm$\times$5cm) and broadcasting on wide ridge (each ridge placement 120cm$\times$ridge width 90cm) were applied to examine the effects of various sowing methods. Primary tillers such as mainstem, 1 and 2 produced ears in all treatments, but the ear from a secondary tiller of 11 was observed only in broadcasting on wide ridge. Drill-seeding was the highest in number of spikelet, grain and plump grain per ear, while narrow-seeding being the lowest. The plump grain yield per square meter was 679.8g in narrow-seeding, while drill-seeding and broadcasting produced more than narrow seeding by 28.7% and 16.8% respectively. The actual yields per l0a for sowing methods showed a similar pattern to plump grain yield per square meter in which the yield was 567.6kg by narrow-seeding and the increments of drill-seeding and broadcasting were 30.6% and 15.4%, respectively.

A new oil crop chufa(Cyperus esculentus var. sativus) was studied to evaluate the yield potential of tuber and productivity of leaf as a new forage crop resources. Response to nitrogen fertilizer was not clear, showing low yield over 10kg/l0a of nitrogen application. Tuber yield was higher at 50cm $\times$ 15cm and 50cm$\times$20cm of planting population of tuber. Planting at early May showed high tuber yield, and sprouting tuber planting could not increased the tuber yield. The plant height of Chufa is 126cm, and the number of tiller per $\m^2$ are 671. It is moderate to lodging, but susceptable according to the amount of field products. Fresh forage and dry matter yield of above ground of chufa were 2,135kg/10a, and 590kg/l0a, respectively. The contents of crude protein, ether extract, fiber, ash, and acid detergent fiber are 24.8%, 8.1%, 38%, 64.4%, 52.8%, and 55.9%, respectively. It was considered that the nutritive value of chufa leaf in maturing stage was so good as rice straw.

This study was carried out to determine the effect of continuous application of animal liquid slurry on the growth and yield of rice in 2005. Field experiment was conducted under variable continuous application years of animal liquid slurry; 1, 3, 5 application years of slurry and chemical fertilizer as control plot. The effects of different application years of slurry on the growth characteristics and yield of rice were determined. The plant height and tiller's number of 1 year application of liquid slurry were lower than those of the chemical fertilizer plot. But in the plot of 5 years continuous application of animal slurry, the height and tillers of rice were higher than those of 1 year application. And the color of leaf 5 years application years plot was darker than that of the chemical fertilizer. Yield of the 5 years continuous application of slurry was 4% higher than that chemical fertilizer, but that of 1 year application was decreased 6% compared with chemical fertilizer. The long time application of animal slurry was increased content of organic matter, $P_2O_5$ and exchangeable caution(K) in soil.

This study was carried out to evaluate the agronomic characteristics and biological activities of $Sorghum$ $bicolor$ germplasms introduced from USA. Plant height, stem diameter, tiller number, leaf length, leaf width, leaf vein color, ear type, ear length and ear width have different from the cultivated accessions. Sweet-N-Sterile (#4) showed the tallest height, widest ear-width and stem diameter. Most of $Sorghum$ $bicolor$ plants may be available to use for bio-energy from these results showing big biomass. Antioxidant activities of 11 cultivars collected from USA were examined by DPPH assay and reducing power. Among the cultivars, Premium stock (#1), Early Sumac (#7), SS Silage (#9) and WGF Grain Sorghum (#11) showed a significantly higher antioxidant activity in comparison to others. Early Sumac (#7) and SS silage (#9) showed more strong reducing power activities than ${\alpha}$-tocopherol, a positive control. Premium stock (#1), Sweet-N-Sterile (#4), Early Sumac (#7) and SS Silage (#9) were also showed high antioxidant activities by DPPH assay and reducing power experiment. BMR Gold I (#3) displayed strong antimicrobial activity against $Escherichia$ $coli$ at minimum inhibitory concentrations (125 ${\mu}g$/ml).

This study examined radiation damage and the optimal gamma-ray dose for mutation breeding in oat (Avena sativa L. cv. Samhan). The seed germination rate decreased as the dose increased over 500 Gy. The median lethal dose (LD₅₀) was approximately 392 Gy. The median reduction dose (RD₅₀) for plant height, tiller number, root length, and flash weight was 411, 403, 394, and 411 Gy, respectively. The optimal dose of gamma irradiation for inducing oat mutation appears to be in the range 300-400 Gy. We performed the comet assay to observe nuclear DNA damage induced by gamma-ray irradiation. This assay showed a clear difference with gamma-ray treatments. DNA damage increased temporarily 7 days after treatment depending on the dose, while no significant difference was identified in response to 300 Gy 30 days after the gamma-ray treatments. The growth characteristics of the M₂ generation decreased as the dose increased over 400 Gy.
